Creative Shop Talk with Wendy Batten

13. Information Overload - How to Handle all the Retail Customer Communication & Orders


Listen Later

It’s overwhelming enough right now as we adjust our retail businesses to online orders, curbside pickup and appointments, and deliveries. On top of this, us scrappy retailers are getting orders from FB lives and comments, Instagram direct messages, phone calls, websites and emails.

How do we keep track of it all without dropping orders through the cracks?

How do we keep our sanity and not burn out?

How do we get our team on the same page?

The struggle is real and you’re not alone if you’re feeling swamped by all of the channels and platforms that clients can interact with you. This episode will help you come up with a system (and some must-needed boundaries) when it comes to collecting orders and communicating with your clients.

Enjoy!
