We can definitely be thankful for the unique experiences we did have. Meeting with my clients on Zoom actually enabled more collaboration and interaction. My wonderful client, the University of Oxford North American Development Office, won the prize of most Zoom calls as we brainstormed ideas while working on many projects throughout the year. Zoom meetings allowed us to help them as well as other clients with what they needed to succeed — while laughing and getting to know one another better.
I used the P-word (PIVOT) — did you? I saw several smaller to mid-sized clients diversify their client base, their product service, and offerings to keep their business, in business. What did you do to survive and help you grow and scale?
As you plan for 2021 keep in mind you might still be doing things differently for a good 6 months or more. Did you know that 72% of businesses are increasing digital marketing efforts during COVID-19? Who knew that my two goals of getting one newsletter out a month in 2020 (done!), and posting and interacting more on LinkedIn would put me in that 72%.
