Here’s 7 ways to maintain and GROW your business regardless of the world markets!!!

3. Call people (especially) your best customers, take the opportunity to show them you’re willing to go out of your way. Be different, now is not the time to hide away, it’s the time to stand out and show the world that your definitely “alive and Kicking”
4. Write to your best customers in an open and friendly manner, thank them for their loyalty and tell them about the great ways you will be supporting them in the future.
