The Next New Wave
Video Conferencing Is The Next New Wave!!
If you haven’t heard of it yet or seen it in action yet, you will soon. Probably sooner than later. One way or another you will find a client or business colleague sending you an invite or you will start finding Video emails known as vMails in your inbox. The time is now to start using this fabulous new tool. It will make the difference between you being a real leader in your industry, or simply getting lost among the rest of the leaders in a year or so. Yes, it’s moving fast. Professionals of every kind are seeing the potential and the results of the impact of vMail or Conferencing. Real Estate professionals can do a quick showcase of their new listing on the fly to a client, or vConference to present an offer while the client is away. Car dealerships can showcase new vehicles for their waiting client list. Doctors can send a vMail update to patients,colleagues or staff, quicker than audio needing to be translated then typed and sent. Conferencing with colleagues even remote patients is a real bonus. Schools can check in with students and conference with parents for issues that arise and need to be dealt with quickly. Marketers… this IS the next wave, if you’re not on it, you will lose out!!
First thing is first,as with any new product or game plan, research,research,research. Research the different products out there and see what you need most. Is it just a simple vMail tool to send out an update once in a while or is it a full spectrum tool that you need such as vMail and vConferencing with analytics to track and follow up on the recipients whether they be Leads, Clients, Patients, Students or simply friends and family. Make sure the company that you sign up with is reputable host, find out how long they have been in business how fast are they growing? Compare the prices, make sure that you are paying for what you need and not lose out either financially or lacking tools that other products may offer for the same price. You also need to look at bandwidth, and speed. These can be two big factors in your decisions.
Next you need to look at the hows. It is important to have the proper equipment if this is to be a business tool. You need a pc that can handle the operating system properly and a good quality web cam. My first experience was not looking too good, my laptop was not optimized and the quality was very very poor. The webcam settings were wrong and the audio settings had to be reset. Sometimes the connection speed can also hinder the audio quality but nonetheless there are many good companies that will walk you through the issues and help you make it work.
Video Conferencing is not new.
This tool has been used by big business corporate world for many years but has never been cost effective for small businesses or professionals that want to save time sending vMail updates or info. Times have changed drastically with technology advancing so quickly. You will soon see the results. The emails that generally get dumped out of your inbox, people now want to see. It brings impact and a reality to the situation. vConferencing for many is the next level of getting the job done with not enough hours to travel in between. My first week my return response was 98%. YES, a whopping 89% on vMails and my vConferencing cut down hours of travel and let the client see how interested I was in their business, and how much easier it was to address problems quickly, without driving 2 hours to get to the clients office.
