This follows along the same lines as to my business practices before, during the pandemic. I have always utilized online communication and marketing since the insemination of the internet. Because I have found it to be more reliable, and cost-effective.

As a Management Consultant, my clients have primarily been serviced via email, text, fax, etc. For over 30 years my employees work primarily from their homes (no overhead). A majority of my clients, are in medical, real estate and small businesses.

Usually when things don't always go according to plan, I look to others in similar businesses, research motivational sites. But most of all, remember that troubles don't last always, as long as you remember that your customers/clients are only people you should always listen to their concerns and treat them the way you want to be treated, be true to yourself and be honest no matter how critical. No one is perfect, so it's ok to make mistakes take notes and learn from them.
