Web Conferencing for a New Way of Business, Part I

No one wants to be stuck in a grind doing the same thing year after year and known for nothing more than consistency; especially a business. In business it is important to reinvent yourself; to remain viable in a changing marketplace. Those who are not able to keep up find themselves pushed to the wayside very easily; it’s important, therefore, to stay up on what is happening in your industry as well as in technology across the board. You certainly don’t want to be known as the company stuck in the dinosaur age when everyone else is employing the many advancements available to us including teleconferencing services.

This was never a philosophy that I was easily able to get my father to buy into. You see, I work in the family business and I have a far different perspective than my father - who has owned and operated the business since he was a young man - and his father before that. I want to branch out, to step into the modern age of technology but this has been a hard sell to a man who just doesn’t embrace change.You have no idea what I had to go through to get him to admit we needed computers in our offices, let alone a website. It has been a hard fought battle for me since I graduated from college but I believe strongly that it’s a battle worth fighting; that in helping my family’s business take these steps I am ensuring its viability and the future security of our family.

Now that I have finally gotten this company online and we have a website to go along with our online status I am ready to take another step forward by starting to use web conferencing and video conference - two things that I think will propel us forward in business. More in the next post…
