In this article, we detail why online meetings will be embraced as a permanent communications platform long after travel and physical distancing restrictions are banished to an unpleasant footnote in history.
When the pandemic hit hard in March 2020, companies were forced to move to the virtual world to keep themselves afloat. Not only were businesses; both large and small, tasked with engaging with customers and prospects via an increased number of online communication and marketing techniques, but equally, all other forms of corporate communications were forced online too.
Many leading business experts expect society to eventually return to traditional face-to-face communication. Here we outline three core reasons why virtual meetings are here to stay long after pandemic restrictions are a distant memory, and why online meeting support is vital for your business.
1) Money
Nothing counts more to the health of a business than it’s bottom-line, and happily, online meetings only strengthen the fiscal health of any small business. The implementation of new practices, procedures, and technology at a fraction of the cost of the incumbent method are a sure-fire way of saving money whilst improving efficiency and performance. Running online meetings over Zoom is cost-effective and eradicates the travel and accommodation expenses for a 90-minute meeting. Online meeting support through Pacific Telecom will further save you money by ensuring that all of your online meetings are a success.
2) Time
Time is money, and it takes time to travel to different meeting locations. Online meetings allow for precise time-management and workload prioritization for your firm. This not only applies to inter-provincial or overseas business travel, but also to local, inter-office meetings too. A quick dial-in to a Zoom meeting frees up a lot of time, enabling employees to work a full day on work related tasks rather than sitting in traffic jams on their way to and from your downtown office. To save more time, let Pacific Telecom do the work in setting-up your next online meeting and provide the virtual meeting support.
3) Convenience
Online meetings can be booked on the fly, affording the flexibility to deliver content from anywhere, at any time. Furthermore, you can invite multiple participants to any online meeting. Gone are the days when you had to agonize over which stakeholders you could invite at the expense of others because the conference suite only comfortably sat eight people. Using our online meeting services, you can invite as many stakeholders as you need to without worrying about additional costs.
These are just three reasons why online meetings are here to stay long after the pandemic ends.
Whilst it is true that online meetings are here to stay, we are dealing with technology and as with any technology, no matter how basic or advanced, it is prone to glitches and human error. Online meetings are no different and that is where Pacific Telecom Consulting can help.
