Communication Tips for Your Business in 2020
Clear communication is EVERYTHING when trying to run a business successfully and 2020 has brought unique challenges to business owners when it comes to communicating with your team and customers. Read on for a few tips that can help you IMPROVE your communication.
Communicate with your team in APPROPRIATE ways.
Clearly, 2020 has brought some new changes to many businesses, some have gone completely remote, meaning everyone works from home. This can make communication tougher, but there are a few ways you can keep in contact with your team in a positive manner, such:
- Hold weekly Zoom or video chat meetings with a clear agenda each time.
- Monitor your tone when sending emails and make sure you are communicating in a positive and professional manner.
- Be understanding about your employees' time commitments and if you have to call, ask if it is a good time to talk. If it isn't, see about scheduling a time that works for both of you.
Prompt responses to your customers are KEY.
Don't let the challenges of 2020 bring down your customer service at all. Now is the time to improve your customer service! If you miss a call from a customer, return it as quickly as possible. If you receive an inquiry from a potential customer online, whether it be on a social media platform or your website, do your best to respond to it as soon as you can.
Listen, Listen, and LISTEN.
Be sure to listen to both your employees and customers in an active manner. Don't get into the habit of talking too much and not listening enough. When it comes to customer issues, sometimes listening is all it takes to fix a problem. When it comes to employee issues, you may be surprised how much it will mean to your employees just to be heard.
