Have a plan
Initiate an adaptable business continuity plan and communicate that plan. Things to consider in your plan:

- In-person and remote selling strategies
- Payment solutions

- Brand messaging
In session 2, we will cover the tools and resources available to you to help you thrive in a new normal by embracing the term virtual.
Virtual – (vir·tu·al) Can be used to describe anything that exists in effect, but not in fact; it is often used to describe things created in a computer or online world.
