Video Conferences

Nothing takes away your flexibility more than traveling.  You are left at the mercy of the airline, train, bus, car rental or even hotel.  You can lose precious hours or days of productive work just to meet with a client or associate for a few hours.  Next time, try a video conference instead.  Rather than driving to the airport and waiting in line at security, you merely drive across town to a spacious meeting room.  You arrive minutes, not hours, before your meeting and leave immediately after it.    Unlike a regular phone call, you see who you are talking to and the entire encounter is in real time; and you never have to worry about flight delays, missing a connection, or losing your luggage.

Still not convinced?  Consider the cost savings.  A typical video conference costs less than the price of your airline ticket.  Add on to that the cost of a rental car, gas, a hotel stay, and meals and you could save hundreds of dollars.  Then there is the value of your time.  When you’re out of town, you’re not meeting with your local clients.  When you’re in an airport, you’re not adding value to your business.
