The worlds businesses are rapidly readjusting to compete in a new world. Here’s how.
Covid-19 continues to offer a significant challenge to the hospitality sector which is now getting the opportunity to respond with a plan for operating in a post COVID environment. We are seeing fresh demand as the more entrepreneurial operators seek to find a market for their services within the public sector to support Covid-19 response scenarios and the private business sector which is starting to re-evaluate the risk of utilising hospitality by geographical area.
If you are leading the sector with Covid-19 policies, then now is a good time to widen your net and reach out to decision-makers in different target demographics. Their continues to be demand from the Public sector for COVID response scenarios, whilst mid-large and international private sector organisations re-evaluate their post-COVID hospitality policies.

Be mindful of your target market’s need as well as their personal reservations and create a confident proposition that makes saying ‘no’ hard for them. Talk about your new Covid-19 approaches alongside your credibility, experience, flexibility and pricing.
Find that balance between minimising the Covid-19 risks without sounding over officious.
