Question
How many of you built a new start up just before the pandemic. How did it work out so far.
How did you counter with challenges from companies not investing in new services owing to the pandemics impact on the global scenario. The likes of which not limited to cost cutting and staff layoff due to the pandemic. How did you market your services as a new player in the game. Was getting an investor a challenge.What strategies would you suggest to implement post pandemic scenario.
As an entrepreneur, my biggest concern at the moment is to seek markets in the form of new startups in these challenging times.
We source customer support and sales staff for remote locations to start ups who cannot invest in a proper infrastructure and human capital. We also provide consultancy in various other IT related functions as per scope.
Your valuable feed back would be a great learning for me and even the smallest of input may create a big impact
Answer
I find this question very interesting. I started my digital marketing agency last year in September and the pandemic actually came as a boon in disguise. Instead of challenges, all customers (and a lot of non-customers also) realized that Digital Marketing is the way to go.
We added on average 2 customers every month after Lockdown ended. Revenues have tripled and the only challenge I am facing is to fill capacity.
