Crisis Response-and-Recovery
What is your response-and-recovery plan for COVID-19?
If you remember February 2011, then you may recall that Jamie Tulloch of E3 Business Accountants turned the Christchurch earthquake into a major business opportunity. He knew that the crisis could spell doom for his business, and those of his clients, so he did something about it.
Jamie knew that many of his clients would be making insurance claims, so he hired insurance experts to make sure that his clients could file accurate and timely claims. He also knew that there would be BIG demand for trades people, so he ran free seminars showing them how to get work, over the coming years.
By doing these things, he helped his existing clients, gained new clients, and built a stronger business with a reputation for caring for his clients! Nearly ten years on, the COVID-19 pandemic is another opportunity for savvy business owners to do the same thing.
The COVID-19 challenge
Now is the time to think about what you can do to save your clients' businesses and to secure your own business future, in these difficult times. As marketing guru Graham McGregor says, "... the worst thing you can do is sit back and do nothing. The best thing you can do is to look for new ways to help your clients, suppliers and key contacts."
Right now, I have a response-and-recovery planning system which any business can customize and implement, with a little professional guidance from me. With this system, we can quickly identify issues, mitigations, and remedial actions.
How does it work?
The response-and-recovery planning system is a high-level overview of the important issues facing your business. We will spend a half-day with you, analysing key aspects of your business and generating a plan of remedial actions, which you can then put in place.
Together, we will:
-
Establish your priorities and goals for managing the crisis
-
Identify relevant risks and mitigations
-
Address operational issues affecting logistics, people, and financials
-
Investigate opportunities for recovery and growth
-
Set actions, and plan key communications with suppliers, staff, and customers.
This response-and-recovery system is designed for small businesses and sole traders.
