Interviewed by Maryan Aiken. assisted BY TAYLOR maher. CO CEO. COLLEGE INTERN. CITYBOX DAILY. KENNESSAW STATE UNIVERSITY
How do you meet new meaningful business relationships without having to leave the comfort of your living room? Navigating through the Covid-19 crisis and the current economic landscape, networking has become a challenge so a fresh and engaging approach to build a crisp set of new business allies is essential.
The Daily Five is a new networking program exclusive to CityBox Daily where five businesses are spotlighted in an article designed to connect & build business alliances to digitally expand your network. It's formulated to strengthen new business relationships during this very unique economic climate. So we gathered a set of business owners, an entrepreneur, and a corporate marketing strategist and asked them one question.
Given the economic condition, health crisis, and the mandatory temporary closing of thousands of businesses how have you shifted to help service your customers or how have you pivoted to the new business normal?

"The COVID-19 Pandemic has changed our way of life and the way we handle business. We have to adjust to what works now as opposed to what we have been used to in the past. As a Real Estate agent, one way to connect and find potential clients is through networking and building connections with people.
With social distancing in place, events and meetups are unlikely for the rest of 2020, we have had to resort to virtual consultations via Zoom. This is as opposed to the past when one would have been able to grab coffee with a potential client, see them in person, and build that connection with them. In addition, when working with buyers we have to narrow down their top picks for in-person showings, taking precautions as regards safety, and also transition to more virtual-tours to view properties.
A lot of effort is now being poured into social media marketing, Facebook, Instagram, etc. Even with the transition to a digital way of handling business, people are still buying and selling properties, and investors are still seeking investment properties. I am here to ensure their needs are met while staying updated on how the market is performing. "

“Graham Estate Planning managed to cope given the economic condition and health crisis by implementing safety measures in conjunction with SynerG Law Complex, where we are housed.
While SLG installed sanitizer stations throughout the building, substantially reduced hours and required key cards and advanced client appointments to enter the building, GEP discontinued all in person meetings as of March 27 while continuing to provide comprehensive planning and probate services.
In addition, GEP extended online hours for new clients by offering both telephonic and zoom sessions for each client's comfort level available until 7 pm three evenings a week and some Saturdays, by appointment only, to accommodate the essential worker who is required to report to work regardless.
Lastly, GEP continued to educate about the benefits of and misgivings about estate planning via free handouts and webinar presentations while providing free consultations in both planning, probate and limited small business matters.
We will continue to do so while we determine what is the new normal for each individual business. If anyone is interested in viewing a snippet of a recent webinar or a handout simplifying the estate planning process, feel free to reach out to me via my website for a copy at grahamestateplanning.com.

“I realized how important it is to stay positive, even in difficult times, and be flexible as a business owner. Soon after we realized the impact of Covid-19, we switched gears and tried to adjust to the circumstances as good as possible.
As our main goal with Good Tidings has always been to give back, it was the first thing we thought about as well. How can we help out our community? That’s when the mask idea was born: providing a product that people need, yet providing funds and masks for people in need.

“I struggle with the “new normal” terminology. I like to think we have entered into a new era. There is still a degree of uncertainty around what business and life will look like on a go forward basis. Unfortunately, criminals are capitalizing on the vulnerability and myriad of distractions in this new chapter. One thing we do know is that at times like these criminals and bad actors activate to maximize their ability to capitalize and profit from identity fraud. Traditional and evolving identity fraud tactics are rapidly budding. Therefore, it should be a strategic imperative to safeguard financial and personal information.
Of the more than 3.2-million fraud cases reported to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in 2019, identity theft accounted for 20.33% of cases and was the most-common type of fraud. This trend will continue to escalate when businesses and people are passive and not proactively strengthening their financial fitness.
Businesses, specifically financial institutions and retailers, need guardrails in place to protect their customers’ identity information and curb identity fraud opportunities. For consumers, they need to become financial fit now more than ever—monitor credit reporting, understand phishing scams, safeguard all digital devices, etc., know who you are doing business with, etc.
Don’t panic. Control what you can—including your identity and finances.”
Christine Cornwell. Strategic Marketing Advisor
