People are Online

Who’s Online Ready?
Focusing a business to operate online is a key in this environment and will be as important after this unusual time has passed. People are being forced to work online and after the learning curve is overcome will continue to work online to some extent. As many have begun to discover, working online remotely is not as hard as once thought.

Those who are ready to handle all of their business online are ready for the future. If you haven’t geared your business to be Web Centric at this point, then you are probably struggling through this difficult time. Being online with as much presence as possible is where companies need to focus their efforts. If you’re a complete beginner, choose a course that offers an introduction to eCommerce. Cortney Fletcher’s eCom babes course cost is very affordable and can help fast-track your eCommerce skills.
It’s not just being online, but it’s being online in a manner your customers are looking for. Make sure you are doing the following:
- Understand your customers – it’s not just putting up a website, but putting up a website people can use. Do your research. Understand WHO your customer is and WHAT they are interested in. Once you understand WHO they are and WHAT they want, then you have to figure out HOW to deliver to them.
- Provide what they are looking for – this is the HOW part. How you deliver your products or services to your customers is critical in attaining and retaining business. They aren’t going to use your services or buy your products if you don’t know HOW to deliver to them.
- Respond quickly and pointedly – there is nothing more frustrating, especially in this time period, than when a business doesn’t respond. And, a response that isn’t personal and to the point of answering what is needed isn’t much better. So, make sure to respond as quickly as possible with a message that shows your customer that you understand and are concerned. This is a time in the world where the speed and detail of the response is as critical as ever.
