1. Examine your market for unmet needs, then consider how you can fulfill them.
2. Consider how you can shift your operations to fit new circumstances, such as developing no-contact methods or catering to new remote workers.
3. Develop new, mutually beneficial ways of working with your wholesalers.
4. Identify new markets to serve.
5. Maintain relationships with and service to your core base of clients.
