How did you your business cope in the snow?

When the snow came, many people suffered issues that affected the daily functioning of their business, did you?

Either yourself and / or staff were unable to get in to the office which meant less people available to answer calls. This probably lead to calls being on hold for too long and then probably potential customers giving up and taking their business elsewhere!

We are all too familiar when freak, severe weather hits where, typically, Britain is unprepared and chaos ensues on the roads and public transport. It may even be down to a power-cut at the office or another unexpected situation that affects you running your business as normal. Have you thought about a plan B or plan C should you encounter any issues?
