Web Conferencing to Gain Momentum
Taking on a new client is challenging enough but when that new client happens to be across the world, the challenges increase exponentially. We were trying our best to service someone who was literally a day ahead of us in terms of time; it made it difficult to say the least. Then there were the issues. The first thing that we did for them was a project of massive proportions and we were just working out how communications were going to go. We were struggling to stay in communication with everyone and that meant that some things were falling through the cracks. Language was also an issue and we weren’t sure how many things were simply being lost in translation. Web conferencing quickly became the answer for us in getting back on track and gaining momentum with this new and important client.
Web conference allows us to log on with several parties at once and get down to business in a detailed and personal way even across all those miles. Invitations are sent to the parties involved in this particular project after which everyone logs on at the appropriated time. From there, we can discuss the details of what we see on the screen as the moderator (someone from our team) goes through the project page by page. What this has given us is accountability on both ends - in terms of following up on project details, answering concerns and questions literally on the spot and determining what needs to happen next and in what time frame. Web conferencing has given us a leg up in our dealings with this client and will likely be used by our team for communications with all of our clients as it’s an easy, effective and certainly professional way to operate our business well into the future.
