Need a hand? | Try our free inventory management solution!
Life is full of challenges and the business world is no different. Despite our best laid plans things can, and often do, go wrong. Shipments are delayed, surefire sellers don’t move, economic downturns impact sales. We can’t control these external challenges but we can control how we react to them. That's why we built our free inventory management solution. We understand many small businesses are faced with challenges. So we thought we'd make things a bit easier on you and your staff.
In a previous post we discussed the benefits of process mapping. If you have completed a process map for your most common business tasks you already have a blueprint for planning your crisis management strategy. As you look at the map that you’ve laid out, instead of looking at how things are supposed to go, imagine how you might react if things don’t follow the intended path. What would your sales strategy be to move a lot of pricey stock that isn’t selling? What could you do to satisfy customers if a much needed shipment is delayed? How can you keep your business profitable when times are tough? It’s much easier to strategize when the pressure is only imagined. The luxury of time also allows you to consider multiple options and determine which one is best, not just the quickest and easiest to implement. Creating plans now can also reduce your stress later. Knowing that you have a good, workable solution for a crisis makes handling it that much easier. When others are scrambling to come up with a plan you can simply start implementing your previously established one.
Having a plan can also improve your attitude when dealing with a challenge and maintaining a positive attitude is a huge part of rising to the occasion. It’s hard to remain positive when things are going wrong but having the right attitude can be critical to overcoming the obstacle. Whether it’s maintaining good employee morale, encouraging your customers to keep coming in, or garnering support from other business associates - a positive attitude can provide great dividends.
