BUSINESS 2.0- EVOLVING WAYS TO SURVIVE POST PANDEMIC CRISIS

  • March 1st, 2021

An unprecedented lockdown followed by WFH, limited consumption and eventually slow growth have affected big and small business post pandemic. Though bigger companies have been able to invest in digital marketing domains and scale up functions, still some small and medium size companies and distributors are contemplating evolving and exploring opportunities to increase strategic partnerships and thus trying to evolve in the digital space.

Every business big or small could consider the below steps to steer through challenging times. These steps, if followed properly can definitely act as a yardstick and ensure that business will sail through toughest time. Not only post pandemic corrections but in every difficult market situation, this will work for you.

 

Excessive credit exposure: We advise that proper risk assessment to be done while extending excessive credit risk. A lot of small business houses have substantially suffered on accounts of delayed payments and hence we advise invoice discounting and other measures to be taken into consideration along with the credentials of customers.

 

Working Capital limits:  Working capital works as the lubricant of your business, the smother it is, the better it will be for your business. For Instance: If we work around an arrangement of 10 days of working capital cycle per transaction then it gives us an opportunity of 3 business cycles in a month, thus giving us the opportunity to trade in higher volumes per month. Alternatively if 30 days credit is given to the customer then the same leads to only one cycles further stressing the business cycle

If you sell on immediate payment terms, and do three cycles successfully, you can actually earn 150% more, even if you part of 50% of profit for cash discount.

It may also be noted that when you do higher volume of business per period of time, you end up getting better cost of acquisition and do optimum utilization of resources, leads and better cost of operations leading to better bottom-line for the company and business.

 

Whether it’s a manufacturer or a distributor, volume attracts cheaper cost of acquisition of resources or input.

 

Product Offerings: There also needs to be thought & ever evolving innovation in your products and more cost efficiency in your offering. Product development is another key to improve your business as with this customers get attracted and would prefer your offering.

 

Marketing: Last but not the least, in these difficult times of pandemic and post pandemic, every company is trying to reduce the cost and hence is pruning on marketing expenses first. Though marketing is the key to more and better business and clients, companies normally refraining themselves from marketing budgets.
