USA Today
reported in a recent edition that businesses
continue to face the effects of staff members
who prefer not to fly to meetings.
Such fears can be
detrimental to marketing, but not for solo
business owners and large companies that are
flexible enough to quickly change the old way of
doing business.
Today’s
technology gives your business the capability to
connect with clients for general discussions
and to work together on projects in real time.
Here are two
services to bookmark for future use.
1. Informal
conversations with clients can be completed with
Skype (www.skype.com). Sign up for a free
account. Charges per call range from free to
cents per minute.
2. Jotspot
(www.jotlive.com) provides free space on the Web
for live meetings and note taking. This is a
great option to start and update projects.
Jotspot accommodates a maximum of five
participants.
Face–to-face
meetings aren’t always mandatory. You can still
get the work done with technological tools that
are easy to use and put the fear of flying to
rest.
