Coaching Can help Your Business in The Current Scenario

If you are the owner of a Micro, Small or Medium sized business, chances are that you have been significantly impacted in the current Lockdown situation. 
The big question is what's next for your business? 
Obviously as an owner you cannot sit back and wait for things to happen. The need of the hour is to sit up, take charge of the situation, and act.
The first priority for you is to draw up a business continuity blueprint for your business. You need to do this NOW, notwithstanding the fact that that demand could take anywhere from a quarter or more to revive, depending on the sector. 
Nearly all companies are in the middle of what they describe as “scenario planning". Some of the key aspects of business operations that require planning and execution now, even if the business starts moving (demand for your product) a little later, could be
Supply Chain 
Strategizing around securing the supply of key raw materials.
Manufacturing
Keeping in mind that social distancing norms may be a concept that is there to stay, the need to optimise the work force, and introduce more automation, is a key consideration.
Getting back workers, (especially skilled labor which is difficult to replace), who may have migrated to their native places.

Managing revenues and costs

This may involve re visiting your product strategy 
You may or may not have started working on your business continuity plans as yet.
There could be two possible scenarios
  • If you don't have a plan in place 
  • You have made a continuity plan, and you are ready
In either case, getting help of a experienced professional business coach, could be a good idea.
A professional business coach, typcially someone who has expensive experience himself, of handling crisis situations in business can help you draw up your revised strategy and formulate business plans, goals and targets emerging from the strategy.
You have a strategy in place, and you may be think its a workable strategy, However, its always a good idea to have someone serve as a 'sounding board' -someone who can critically examine the strategy and provide valuable inputs. Remember, its a good idea to seek the opinion of an experienced person who has run a business himself sometime in the past.
With a business coach around you, you can be held accountable for a successful execution of the business strategy. You still are the business owner. The business coach will however ensure that you are on the right track towards achieving your goals. The business coach can be engaged for a slightly longer term, so that he is involved in not only helping you formulate your strategy and plans, but also helping you ensure execution down the line.

Why is Business Coaching Important?

A recent report by Keap and Emergent Research found that about 94% (almost all ) of small business owners surveyed identify specific financial goals for their business and yet only 65% are confident they will achieve them. This leaves 29% of small business owners, (one in four) who have set specific financial goals for their business, bit are not confident that they will achieve those goals.   This is where coaches come in. Entrepreneurs and small business owners look towards a business coach to help solve specific tasks and objectives. But the moment they consider the coach’s fee, their reaction generally, is to save that cost, and solve the problem on their own .
