We’ve discovered, in our home businesses, that using Skype or similar programs for communication and conferencing creates a more personal atmosphere with business associates and customers. Nowadays we need to step into the modern technical age to help our business keep up to date.With these programs, you can instant message, as well as bring up that person on your screen and chat with them audibly. These programs generally can be used for phone calls, too. (There are various levels, some free, and others with a fee, depending on the number of people you want to conference with at one time.)You also can video meetings and conferences to bring distant people “into the loop” as my husband does. If you’re teaching a class or technique, you can use this for those who cannot attend in person. For instance, a colleague is holding a Home Party for her skincare business in a distant state. However, I can add input with an appearance by Skype.
Have you tried any of these programs? How have they worked for you?
