At the moment, as I write this, I’m looking out of our office window and it’s pouring rain. When I looked at the forecast for the week, it seems as if there is no end in sight for the rain. Not only does this weather greatly increase travel times, but it also increases the risk of getting into an accident. So, rather than put any of our clients at risk, we will do most of our meetings as web meetings.
This way, no one needs to travel away from his or her office in this weather. Not only is it much safer than driving in the rain, but it also saves money for companies that reimburse for gas. Being that our office is located in the suburbs of San Jose, such cost savings and added safety are felt even more during the winter when we traditionally are bombarded by snow. As a result, we are able to continue hosting meetings with clients without worrying that the weather will impact our productivity. This makes it much easier for us to continue business as usual while also saving money and time. It’s a feature that our clients and our staff have come to greatly appreciate.
Web Conferencing Offers a Myriad of Advantages
Using web conferencing also provides you with many advantages during your presentation. For example, did you know that you are actually able to pre-load the documents that you plan to use during your presentation? Doing this enables you to switch between documents fluidly without your participants noticing and without you needing to navigate through all of the folders on your computer to find the files. This results in much more professional presentations and smoother presentations.
Global Communication Made Easier
That is not the only advantage to hosting your meeting online. Having your meeting online also gives you the ability to connect more easily with participants across the globe without long distance phone charges or the need to book expensive flights. This has proven to be particularly important as the business world of today has grown increasingly global. Now, you can conduct business with anyone from any location without worrying about traveling around the world to do so.
The built-in HD webcam support will also allow your international participants to feel as though they are right in the room with you. This makes interpersonal communication much easier and can help to eliminate any potential for miscommunication from occurring because participants are not able to see everyone’s facial expressions. Everyone is able to communicate on the same level and feel as though they are truly participating in the meeting. This helps to increase buy-in and improve overall communication.
