Business in a Storm – Conferencing Anywhere
Anyone who has ever missed an airplane, had to relocate or has been stuck in traffic due to a storm should definitely read on.
Not long ago, I woke up, looked out my window and determined that getting on the road to the office would be an exercise in torture. That is to say, there was already six inches of snow on the ground, the temperature well below freezing and there was no indication that the snow was going to stop any time soon. The likely result if I hit the road would be an hour and a half drive so that I could be in the office for 5 hours before getting back on the road for another hour or two drive home. For those not in a snow state, let me assure you that not all snow days equate to dangerous and lengthy driving conditions. Perhaps you live in an area where flooding or hurricanes are an issue. Keep reading.
The truth is that on this particular day, I had several meetings to conduct and people I absolutely needed to see. For many people, the only option would be to get on the road and slog through the mess. Fortunately, I have something up my sleeve that enables me to conduct business from anywhere I happen to be. What is it? Web and audio conferencing accounts.
The action plan for the day was simple, I contacted all the people on my schedule and set up either phone meetings or web meetings. In just under 20 minutes, I had rearranged my schedule so that not only could I meet with everyone but I also had time to finish up a report, clean out my email inbox (a major feat for me), and play with the dog.
So, the next time you find yourself stranded or you just want to plan your day more efficiently, remember to host a webinar or do a conference call. You’ll have more time and be less frazzled.
And if you’re wondering about the snow, it piled up to 18 inches before it stopped.
