Don’t let a natural disaster derail your company. Make sure you’ve got a disaster recovery backup plan in place to keep things as close to business as usual as possible.
What have you done to prepare your business in the case of a natural disaster? If you are like most businesses, you probably have invested in some form of insurance that protects you against damages or loss to company property. But what about the loss your business will experience when a potential customer calls trying to get a hold of someone and you’re unable to answer because your phone lines are down or your staff can’t make it into the office?
When you list your businesses hours of operation, your customers expect to be able to reach you. Unfortunately, it isn’t always possible to avoid being hit by a snowstorm that prevents you and your employees from coming into the office for the day, or maybe even up to a week. Now what about that customer who was trying to get in touch with you? Do you think they would wait to find out why you weren’t answering your phones? Probably not. Instead, there is a good chance that your lack of availability would probably change how they feel about doing business with you. It might even turn them to doing business with one of your competitors altogether.
What’s worse is that Mother Nature (snowstorms, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, etc.) is not the only risk to your business suddenly becoming unavailable to your customers. You also have to face more common risks like a potential power failure because some construction in your building damaged the wiring. Or maybe your phones go down because a truck in your neighborhood went off the road and took down a phone pole. Perhaps it is even something as simple as the phone device itself stops working and you can’t make or take calls until a technician comes, or you have to order a new phone. Another possibility is that a sickness makes its way through your office and with multiple people calling out, you can’t adequately cover the phones.
The truth is, most of your customers don’t care. It is your job as a business owner to manage risks like these. If your customer doesn’t accept excuses, you shouldn’t either.
