The COVID-19 pandemic has come as a huge challenge to the world. In these tough times survival has become the priority. But along with survival you also need to continue your growth.

SmartCompany’s Sue Barrett has shared eight tips to help you keep selling and doing business during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Barrett says, “Remember as the old saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention. So how can we keep selling and doing business during COVID-19?

The good news is many organisations are digitally equipped to keep on doing business. This is what business owners and leaders are considering now.

Have a plan

Working from home is a great option, but it is not possible for all roles and businesses. How flexible can your work arrangements be? Do you have a contingency or continuity plan for when staff can’t work at all? Make sure to have a clear policy in place for employees that suspect to be or are sick.

How do you handle an actual staff shortage? What if you can’t get the resources you need to run your operations delivered? How can you keep the impact this might have on your business at bay? Make sure to plan for these scenarios”.
