Having a bad conference call can hurt your business both in communication and efficiency.
In order to have a successful business, you need to exercise exemplary communication among your employees, partners, as well as with your customers. You can hire the best staff and sell the best services/products, but if your business doesn’t have effective communication, sooner or later something will slip up and cause major issues. In order to avoid ever having said issues ruin your company’s success, consider looking into implementing something that will not only provide fail-safe ways of communicating, but also make business all around flow more efficiently and effectively.
Now, if you know us by now, you know that Lifesize video conferencing is one of our favorite communication solutions. It brings to the table HD video quality, superior sound quality, a dependable and reliable connection among end users, as well as an incredibly easy-to-use user interface. Below, we have listed for you five benefits that Lifesize video conferencing can offer your business.
Reduce Travel
Having to connect with and meet your partners and customers comes with the job when you run a business. This typically can involve expensive flights, long commutes, and/or long distance calls. With video conferencing, travel costs and long distance phone call costs become a thing of the past. Some might say, “that’s what normal conference calls are for.” However, conference calls tend to lack in quality, can lag, and are all around not too reliable. With video conferencing, you can feel rest assured that when you have to have that important conversation with potential clients, you are in the most reliable hands with Lifesize video conferencing. You can also have a face to face meeting which will always beat out simply talking on the phone, and is definitely less expensive than having to commute. Also, when you spend less time on worrying about how you’re going to make it to that important meeting, or how you are going to effectively communicate your point over the phone when the call quality itself is questionable, you will have more time on your hands, more money in your pocket, increased productivity, and keep your business moving efficiently.
Easily Share Data
Sharing data is another issue that seems to always cause problems in a business. You could easily lose data, forget to bring it with you, or the file itself might be too big to share. But with Lifesize video conferencing, you can quickly share data on a video conference call and all those involved can have access to the information you’re sharing. Can you imagine having to describe a pie chart to your fellow employees over a mere conference call, or simply having to trust that everyone involved in the call can access or is even fully engaged in the information you’re sharing? (hence, the “conference call in real life” video listed above)
Improve Communication
55% of communication is nonverbal. This means that during your phone conference call, there is a high possibility of your message being lost or misconstrued. Humans are visual creatures and what we see is what we pay attention to. When you are able to directly see someone speak and analyze their body language, you are more engaged in what they are trying to convey, leading to a better connection between speaker and audience. Also, from a speaker’s perspective, being able to see that what you’re saying is actually being heard, interpreted, and considered is another important factor in successful communication that one can simply not get through a phone conference call alone.
Quicker Decision Making
With video conferencing, you are creating better communication within your business, therefore, increasing overall productivity and efficiency in the way in which your business does business. When lack of communication is no longer a hindrance on your business, decisions can be made quicker. Making faster decisions can also keep you ahead of your competitors and help you avoid any issues that may come your way.
Better Management
Now that you are making faster decisions and communicating more efficiently in your business, you are able to improve your management. Management revolves around communication and decision-making. With better management you have happier employees, more business opportunities and an overall improved business model.
