Businesses can seem so fixed in their operations, but that’s often not the case. Like anything else in life, for a business to endure the test of time, it must change. Look now how so many businesses are using progressive politics to help market their brands. This is not to criticize those politics at all, only to say it’s interesting to see how companies have managed to position themselves in a visible space alongside these areas. They know how to get views through making use of a moment. Does Coca-Cola change their bottle labelling to pride colors because they want to advance the cause? Perhaps, there are likely some well-meaning people making those decisions. But we cannot pretend this also isn’t used as a marketing tactic, however necessary that is.
That being said, finding new leads for your business is much more than considering how best to present yourself. This is especially true in the times after the Covid-19 lockdowns, as businesses scramble to return to normality and to compete for the best path forward. In some areas, the playing field has been levelled.
So, how can we find new leads for our business in the best context? Let’s discuss this topic, and find out:

Might it be that you’re struggling to get into people’s homes for cleaning because people aren’t interested in inviting people into their homes in the time of social distancing? What if you offered cut-rates to clean offices for businesses in need of care? It could be that securing work this way helps you make use of an opportunity, while also supporting your own revenue streams.
