Episode 26: Getting Back to Work? Messaging & Communication are Key
Show Notes:
*Getting Back to Work? Messaging & Communication are Key*
* *Changes day to day - be consistent*
* *Even if the daily message is "same as yesterday" it helps the audience know you updated recently*
* *If you're doing something different from the norm - make SURE people know that*
* *Be easy to get ahold of - post your phone & email & livechat or a form*
* *Be Flexible - if a customer shows up w/o a required mask - have one available for them to use (sterile - disposable) etc.*
* *SHOW you're proactive*
* *Clean between customers*
* *Have to sign a ticket? Is the PEN clean? Can you skip the signature?*
* *Have to go into someone's home? Send them an email BEFORE you go that sets the expectation. Will the tech wear PPE? Should you (customer) wear a mask? Etc.*

Episode 2: If You Wanna Be Awesome, Don't Be Awful
In this episode, Erin & Carrie talk about ways you can be awesome during a crisis - and some tips for being "ready" to be awesome during a crisis. And by crisis, we dont' necessarily mean a problem for your business. It could be a weather event in your community/network, a supplier issue that you can't control, or something happening down the street.
We use the Alamo Draft House as our Karma Kudo (great job last week to those folks in Dallas). And of course, no "Karma Kudo" is complete without a "Karma Catastrophe".... We're talking about you Ernst & Young...
