It is the one that is most adaptable to change.\u201d <\/em><\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u2014Charles Darwin<\/em><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When major world events send shockwaves through the economy, businesses often have to rethink their business models and growth strategies. Though it\u2019s easier for companies with deep pockets to take big chances on new ideas, recently, small businesses are proving their skills of thinking further outside of the box to find innovative revenue streams that pay off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For one Montreal entrepreneur, Bijan Bolouri, such a situation occurred when the COVID pandemic hit while he was vacationing in Florida with his family. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was early March, just a couple of weeks before the province of Quebec ordered all non-essential business to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/montreal.ctvnews.ca\/cases-of-covid-19-in-quebec-surge-to-628-legault-orders-all-non-essential-businesses-to-close-1.4856152\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">close<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but the co-founder and CEO of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bcyclespin.com\/en\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">b.cycle<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which operates three fitness studios in Montreal\u2019s downtown, Old Port and Westmount neighbourhoods,\u00a0says he wasn\u2019t waiting for an official mandate to put a plan into action.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe news was starting to explode and I knew we had to be proactive. It was clear to me that we would be closing all three studios. The only questions were when and for how long?\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like many business owners quickly facing unprecedented situations, he was forced to adapt to the new normal\u2014 and learned some valuable lessons <a href=\"https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/blog\/why-every-business-owners-most-valuable-asset-is-resilience\/\">about resilience along the way<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Lesson 1: Slow down and resist the urge to react hastily<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company immediately went into problem-solving mode, with a critical focus on how to retain its eight full-time employees and a part-time workforce of 22 others. Before the pandemic hit, Bolouri says the five-year-old company was having its best year to date. This gave him a financial cushion and some extra time to formulate a survival strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs stress mounts, it\u2019s important to take a step back to look at the big picture. It\u2019s easy to make a quick decision to try and solve a problem when emotions are running high, but those quick fixes are usually very short-term. When we closed the studios, we were planning to be closed for at least three months, even though at that point the government was saying two weeks.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Lesson 2: Be prepared for a dramatic drop in revenue<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While seasonal highs and lows are common in many industries, a massive unexpected dip in sales can be crippling. Having a contingency plan in place, and the right contacts at your fingertips can get you through, as was the case for b.cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the busy studios that usually have more than 4,000 customers a month shut down, b.cycle\u2019s revenue plummeted by 90 to 95 percent. Bolouri immediately took himself off the payroll to ensure he could retain full-time staff While this wasn\u2019t an ideal solution, it was a temporary band-aid that ensured he could keep paying his employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company also tapped into some of the government assistance programs and reached out to key partners to negotiate its financial commitments. He also worked with his business colleagues and partners to free up cash flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe had very open discussions with our banks and suppliers who lightened the load for us. It was phenomenal,\u201d Bolouri explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Lesson 3: Focus on where you can help<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shortly after the studios closed, Bolouri pulled his team together for a brainstorming session on how to generate revenue while continuing to support the community amid so much uncertainty and anxiety.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFrom day one, our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/karlmoore\/2020\/02\/12\/to-build-a-successful-fitness-business-prioritize-the-experience\/#1e7b7ea91a76\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">philosophy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has always been to provide the highest level of customer service. We are constantly asking ourselves how we can take care of the community and do right by them.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even the smallest actions, such as communicating regularly with your customers, can go a long way in maintaining a high level of customer service.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-12685\" src=\"https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pivot-for-the-win-1030x579.jpeg\" alt=\"pivot for the win\" width=\"1030\" height=\"579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pivot-for-the-win-1030x579.jpeg 1030w, https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pivot-for-the-win-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pivot-for-the-win-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pivot-for-the-win-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pivot-for-the-win-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pivot-for-the-win-1500x844.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pivot-for-the-win-705x397.jpeg 705w, https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pivot-for-the-win-450x253.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>Lesson 4: Pivot for the win<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That mission gave birth to b.cycle\u2019s launch of free online classes on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bcyclespin\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to its more than 11,000 followers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe team was really emotional when we had to close,\u201d Bolouri recounted. \u201cEveryone wanted to do something to help, so we started offering the online classes almost immediately.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The response from the b.cycle community was swift and dramatic.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cRight away they started asking how they could help us (to ensure the company stayed afloat). We created a donation page on our website, and the community gave back to us big time. Hundreds of people made financial donations, and that supported the entire team of instructors.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Lesson 5: Spin gold from straw<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, demand was ramping up for spin bike rentals. Bolouri answered the call by renting out the studio\u2019s fleet of bikes on three-month contracts at $50 a week, deploying some of its part-time workforce to clean, deliver and set them up in customers\u2019 homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That pivot led to an entirely new line of business (and revenue stream) for the company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In May, it launched <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bhome.bcyclespin.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">b.Home<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a digital platform that offers more than 40 live classes a week as well as on-demand spin and body classes, allowing users to keep up with their fitness regimes from the comfort of their homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe spent three weeks strategizing the business plan,\u201d Bolouri continued. \u201cIt was a big investment. We bought a bunch of bikes and created a brand-new online platform from scratch. We also launched an online shop to sell merchandise.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be a daunting task to pivot your business plan when the unexpected hits \u2014 especially for small businesses that have limited cash flow. Taking the lessons learned by other business owners and applying them in your own organization can help put you on the fast track. And when crisis strikes, be sure to rely on your own small business innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>About Liquid Capital<\/em><\/p>\n<p><i>At Liquid Capital, we understand what it takes for small, medium, and emerging mid-market businesses to succeed \u2013 because we\u2019re business people ourselves.
