Things to Do During Slow Times

Whether your showroom is slow or you are trying to fill your day while working remotely, here are some tips for filling your time.

1. Re-read the DPHA Education Manuals. Even if you have read them in the past, it is always good to refresh your knowledge. Make sure you check out the newly updated Shower Systems manual!
2. Sign up for the Recognition Program! Since you have just re-read the training manuals, you might as well get recognized for the work you have put in!
3. Reach out to your clients. They are likely in a similar situation as you, and showing you care can build a relationship for future sales.
4. Focus on merchandising.  It's hard to take a deep dive into your showroom displays and commit the time to display and line reviews during busy times.    
5. Take a webinar. Many manufacturers and other training companies offer online training on product knowledge, sales skills and more.
6. Expand your mind. Several Ivy League schools are offering free online classes.
7. Keep moving.  You can't hit the gym right now, but there are many online workouts that are free during this crisis.
8. Don't forget your MIND.  This is an incredibly stressful time for everyone, and mindfulness is key.  Headspace is free right now to help those during shelter-in-place and social distancing stressors.
