Stephanie Cartin + Courtney Spritzer of Socialfly, How we transformed our business during COVID-19

Sometimes, the best plans are unplanned. 2020 has certainly been filled with hard-learned lessons for many professionals across every industry. In the midst of a pandemic, entreprenistas worldwide have had to learn how to pivot their businesses while homeschooling their children and staying productive. We’ve had to learn how to not only survive during these unprecedented times – but how to thrive.

In today’s episode, Courtney and I share the lessons we’ve learned since the coronavirus took the world by storm. We discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted our business and the challenges and pivots we’ve made along the way. We discuss the importance of over-communicating with your team when working remotely and how we use DigiCards™ to promote productivity, collaboration, and communication during virtual meetings. We also discuss the value of joining a supportive community of female founders, why we believe remote work is the future for the workforce, and the benefits of embracing it in your business.

“You can be very, very efficient from working from home.” – Courtney Spritze
