Five Steps to Manage Your Business During the Coronavirus Outbreak

• Stay up to date with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) so you can respond quickly to changes that could affect your customers.
• Proactively share important information with your customers through your website, social media accounts, and email.
• Social distancing is paramount in slowing the spread of the coronavirus. Allowing your employees to telecommute (work from home) if they can will aid in keeping your staff healthy.
• Postponing events and hosting webinars or live sessions on your social media channels can keep your customers up to date and engaged.
• Try to be responsive and transparent with your customers by preparing for incoming questions and requests. Draft templated responses for your emails.
• Consider connecting with your customers via Instagram DM, Messenger or Whats App.
• Provide a list of FAQs regarding your service and issues that may arise during this time.
