Thinking Ahead

If you got the go ahead to re-open your business tomorrow or next week, would you really be ready for what the ”new normal” will look like? We are all tired of talking about coronavirus but navigating business through coronavirus is going to be a marathon you guys, not a sprint. Nobody knows what the ”new normal” is going to look like but we can definitely guarantee that it doesn't look like it did before, at least not for a long time. Will the virus magically disappear when they lift the lockdown measures? Nope. We are going to have to learn how to live and work with this until a treatment or vaccine is created. On today's episode we are talking about thinking ahead - what precautions are you going to put in place to protect yourself and your clients? How will you handle notifying clientele if one of your clients contacts you to tell you that they have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and they we're just in your salon a day or two before. What happens if you get sick and have to shut down for weeks. Are you going to require that your clients where masks? Do you need to make some changes to your space in order to be able to disinfectant things you normally wouldn't, like where clients put their belongings or maybe a common seat that everyone sits in? What about removing things in your waiting area like magazines that can't be easily disinfected. All things that we don't want to think about BUT we have to be putting strategic plans in place NOW before we get the chance to take clients again. Also, letting your clients know what you are putting together to protect them and yourself, is going to be a huge piece in the success of your business and creating loyalty amongst your clientele.

Stay safe. Stay strong. Plan ahead.
