Video Conferencing, The New Audio?

This week in Conference News there was an article that was published about how video conferencing is becoming the new audio conferencing. http://www.conferencingnews.com/news/47742.   As you are aware, we sell a couple of video conferencing solutions.   One question you may have is “how do you sell it”?

Self-engage:  The first step in the selling process is to position your company as an early adapter.  Possession is 9/10 of ownership!  You and your team need to fully understand the benefits and challenges of video conferencing.  More importantly it positions you as a credible authority.  The Conference Group, as discussed last week offers our agents a $50.00 credit for the use of our products.

Seeing is believing: Increase your customers comfort level by communications with a video conferencing package.  In other words, get your customer on a system as a demo!  TCG offers demo to potential clients for a week.  USE this!   Studies show that putting the product in the hands of a customer increased sales 30%!

Your company should position video conferencing as a market differentiator; adding video conferencing will differentiate you from your competitor.   Telepresence highlights make it a nice alternative to a traditional conference call:

• Less business travel
• Increased communications
• Ability to communication across many dispersed areas
• Greater executive availability allowing more time to concentrate on business growth.

Contact me for your $50.00 credit and ask me how we can set up demo’s for your clients!

How do you Spread the Word?

I feel like I can’t get the word out loud enough or fast enough for everyone to hear…. With the recent disasters in the North East, Video Conferencing has played a large role in day to day business.  (Of course, this pertains to those with power and internet service.)  May I first say that you have all been on our minds at the Conference Group and we hope you and your families are safe.   

During hurricane Sandy, I was luckily able to attend two video calls to assist an agent thanks to Video Conferencing.  He was flying out the following day, and of course, was unable to get out of the airport.    It has now become eminent to be able to communicate and share news, ideas, problems, emergency information and opportunities as they occur.  In order to compete with challenging business environments and remain up to date on new product development, promotion, and projection opportunities, video collaboration is essential. Face to Face communication is becoming increasingly important in order to establish a rapport with client, customers, and co-workers.  Video Conferencing is playing a vital role in serving and facilitating small to midsize and enterprise organizations with a tailored solution for real-time information transfer, knowledge sharing, trainings, and presentations.
The Conference Group Video Conferencing offers:

• Instant Face-to-Face video chat with voice and video
• Document Sharing through upload and online publishing
• Video demonstrations of software applications
• Screencast of desktop screen to a distant audience
• Collaborative editing and manipulation of shared content 

I challenge all of TCG’s agents to take face-to-face online communication to a new level.
If I have not contacted you yet about a demo, I will be!!  Look forward to SEEING you all soon! :)
