“It’s true these days that everyone is quarantined, but managers and brand owners should not quarantine their own brand, because they have to keep in touch with suppliers and customers and keep their customers,” he said.

He added: “These days, you should not talk about the campaign and products, but you should be aware of your customer’s health and ask about his condition so that your relationship with the customer is not lost.”

“The most important thing during the Corona era is that you have to protect your employees and workers because they are like members of your family and you should not lose them, this crisis will end and you will be together again, and you have to support them ” he said.

If you lose them, you should start from scratch after Corona.

“During this time, focus more on your products and services and see if you can make changes to your products and services that fit the customer’s needs today, and keep up the good work,” said Hakan Okai.

“It’s a blessing for big companies because big companies are flexible in times of crisis, and that’s very important, but if there is no crisis, medium-sized companies will be the first,” he said. They quickly copy the techniques and go to the big companies and there is no cost for them, so you have to be careful of the average in critical situations.

“There are a lot of competitors around you, you have to focus on the market,”Dr. Nima  Kimiai explained of the use of opportunities in times of crisis. Those who do not succeed in the crisis are because they are not focused, and our problem is that we do not accept the crisis because there are opportunities in the heart of any threat that we can make good use of.
