...At this point the LinkedIn thought-leadership crowd would tell you the answer is “diversification” or “resilience” or “multi-channel strategy” and add an inspirational quote alongside the ChatGPT-inserted emojis. Telling a Karachi tailor with 14 customers in a WhatsApp group to “diversify their customer-communication stack” does nothing to solve the problem.
