Recruiting
Having the right roles in place to service customer and internal needs

Exploring nearshoring partners when possible to limit costs and streamline operations

Ensure that you are meeting the various needs of your customers and carrier relationships (evaluate for top performers)

Going the extra mile - something that we talk about here at Metafora quite often. Want to make sure that your company is showing value and acting not just in a business sense but also as a partner where possible

Speaking to multiple industry veterans, in past cycles, they have noted the importance of the second bullet above

Internal Areas
Ensuring that you are supporting your resources with what they need to make decisions and assist customers

Robust processes, rules of engagement, training, etc.

Making sure that your company vision and how you want to treat customers is trickling down to the operational level and that your customers are reaping the benefits and rewards from that

Balanced, Diversified Approach
Cycles have tended to vary in duration and intensity.

Ensure that you are planning for worst-case scenarios and proactively responding to customers and the market to ensure the success and viability of your business

Do your best not to make decisions in a silo or for short-term gains that may affect the business more long term

Emotional Decision Making
Try not to let emotions feed business decisions and instead do your best to act off data and your overall company charter and vision

Hasty reactions can often have long-term effects that outlast a cycle

Do your best to rationalize

Past Cycles
Look at what has happened in past cycles and learn from what you did well/the mistakes that were made

Take best practices from the above and do your best to incorporate in the business and externally with customers
