This sounds very acceptable and true. You have to accept responsibility for it and apologize to your customers. Also, you also have to figure out the causes and put measures towards preventing it from happening again.

Well said, I think in some cases before enlisting the help of an expert, you can also take some time to study the business and investigate every aspect of the business to find out if you might have done something wrong, if you still can pinpoint the fault, this is where an expert should come in.

It is never an easy situation to be in whenever your business is encountering an unexpected downtime. The first thing is to issue an apology to your customers promising them of how hard-working you are to try to restore things back to normal.

What do you mean there's no time for business and sales? It is one's business after all so why can't somebody make time for it? The downtime that you are talking about, is it the one caused by covid 19? If so, then there's little we can do about it. However, no matter what, we still should be able to cater for our own business.

Well, it is quite strange that many people think that they do not have time for business. In the current situation, we need businesses because we need to generate good amount of income.

I think apart from showing sympathy with customers, you should try and accept responsibility for it. It is your business and they could have possibly decided to patronize another person but they stuck with you.

In this pandemic period ,I guess a lot of business really do had issues trying to grow ,and to face the downtime a lot of business actually had to borrow up loans so they could settle up the debt they are owing

The pandemic period was really a period that a lot of busineses went down,and it was a challanging period for most busineses,but one thing that can really help a business in times of challanges is to be steadfast and focus.

For a customer to stick with you and starts patronising you everytime , it means that they have trusted you with everything , and you as the owner of the business must also believe in them.
