CEO Talks — Building A Business During The COVID19 Pandemic Part 3

 

I’ll be honest, it has been from word of mouth and social media. The more information we got out and stayed active on our outreach efforts, the more prospects we’ve had reach out for assistance. I’m also very actively involved in civic and professional groups so I’m always up to date on what members are needing my specific services or know someone that is that I can pitch.

The most important thing is to not give up or lose your passion. It took me 12 years to have the confidence to successfully start and run my own business during very uncertain time. Taking that leap of faith and staying passionate about the PR field keeps me motivated each day.

CEO Talks — Building A Business During The COVID19 Pandemic Part 2

 

Benefits to starting a business during the COVID19 pandemic. The benefit of starting my business during the pandemic is the overwhelming support for black owned business and small businesses. There have been numerous free business directories, free marketing opportunities that have popped up in support of pushing our businesses into the spotlight whereas in the past we have not been.

Learning to adapt to new consumer needs.  I’ve developed both custom packages and ala carte services for businesses looking for public relations and marketing services. Following the pandemic, I recognized that the requests from businesses were becoming much more slimmed down and specific to what the business lacked and needed, rather than wanted.

CEO Talks — Building A Business During The COVID19 Pandemic Part 1

 

I took a leap of faith after working in a corporate position for two years and learning that I was severely undervalued, both monetarily and professionally. After working for businesses for the 12 years in PR and marketing, I bet on myself to use the tools and knowledge I gained to apply it directly to the business owners how needed my services.

I’ve worked and represented nonprofit organizations, government sectors, public figures, corporations as well as small, boutique businesses. One of the specific challenges I faced was access to COVID19 small business financial assistance due to the time frame that I started my business.

While these financial assistance programs are great, for those of us that started our business after the pandemic, we don’t qualify because we are new businesses and don’t have the minimum time qualifications requested. Thankfully, I was able to find through personal references some grant programs that allowed new businesses to qualify but it was limited.
