Jumpstart: Crisis Contingency Planning
the Former Amazonian's Plan for Avoiding Supply Chain Disruption During A Crisis
Elon Musk said, "Some people don't like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is a disaster."
While this quote was originally used to describe environmental policy, there are a plethora of parallels to crisis management. Having a contingency plan (and keeping it updated) is critical, especially if the alternative is your business going under after a disaster.
As a former Senior Program Manager for Amazon.com, Rachel Johnson Greer was responsible for developing crisis contingency, and fallback, plans to avoid disruptions in Amazon's global supply chain, and to maximize earning potential before an economic slowdown. And in this Jumpstart, she walks you through exactly how to do the same for your eCommerce business!
The Crisis Contingency Planning Jumpstart includes:
- Identifying and prioritizing resources
- Mapping out the risks specific to your business type
- Developing a backup plan for remaining in-stock in order to meet demand
- Minimizing the crisis impact on your business through strategic advertising and promotions
- Implementing the plan and making it work for you
Plus, bonus materials you can use over and over again!
The value of a crisis contingency plan cannot be understated, but often, businesses find it difficult knowing where to start. If this sounds like you and you’d like to learn more about what your contingency plan should include, then click the enrollment button below and let's get started!
"This course has been fundamental to getting on Amazon and getting the product from Mexico to the States. It doesn't really matter where you are, just knowing how to work with Amazon, the details of working with a company that's all online, and access to people who have worked in the company who can give you those insider tips makes it so much easier. The course is really really really effective!"
- Gabrielle Tenney (Owner, Well & Savvy) on her coaching experience with Cascadia Seller Solutions
