Driven by technology advancements and accelerated by the Cloud, businesses benefit from all the productive advantages of mobility. With the ability to communicate from anywhere, at any time, without distance being a factor, valuable hours are added to our workdays. No longer do travel, time or location impede productivity when businesses can communicate quickly and effectively on the go.

Technology has offered us better flexibility in regard to the way we work, but there is still a need for person to person contact in order to create a strong professional relationship.

“Success in business is greatly impacted for better or worse by the way in which we communicate.”

Recent studies have shown that the way we interpret and understand communication is based on the following three things:

55% is based on facial expressions and body language
37% is based on the tone of voice
and ONLY 8% is based on the words that are actually said

With the advantages of mobility, more workers find themselves working remotely (43% of employed Americans). Now that technology allows employees, employers, coworkers, and clients to communicate as if they were in the same location, companies’ overall success can be increased due to time and cost savings.

That’s why more businesses are connecting online with web conferencing. No matter their location, it makes all participants feel like they are all together in the same room. Web conferencing also eliminates the inefficiency that can often be created by voice-only conference calls: lack of visuals and eye contact to promote understanding. The technology needed for web conferencing is simple — especially when using a hosted or SaaS solution. Remote workers already have the network connection, phone and computer needed for a web conference.
Implementing web conferencing will take your communication strategy, and business, to the next level.

Here’s How:

Boost Productivity

The time saved on travel means extra hours available to spend on work. With recent Gallup numbers calculating 90+ minute commutes on the rise, it’s no wonder that the percentage of remote workers increases every year. With online web conferencing you can have face to face communication with employees (or clients) all over the world without the need to travel.

And with the ability to record your web conferences, you decrease your odds of losing pertinent information. Being able to store and access communications for quick reference in a database guarantees accurate understanding of the work and eliminates time wasted in repetition.

Strengthen Client Relationships

Online meetings are advantageous because they are more interactive than phone calls, giving you the ability to share slides, videos, computer screens, and real-time demos. All of this creates the opportunity to build and strengthen a lasting relationship between you and your client.

Your client is also able to regularly see progress on the jobs they have commissioned, making them feel more involved along the way.

Benefit Bottom Line

In the long run, web conferencing solutions tend to cost much less than conducting in-person meetings, sales presentations, or training seminars. You and your clients are face to face in real time with the click of a link — without the transportation and overhead costs of a typical in-person meeting.

Web conferencing also gives you the ability to connect with once-restricted untapped markets around the world without the exorbitant travel expenses.

Choosing the right web conferencing solution for your business has the ability to improve the effectiveness of business relationships and increases profitability and efficiency.
