Why Web meetings have become so popular

| |

By Jay NaPier

Traditional businesses are slow to make changes of any nature. After years of spending a fortune on airfare, hotels, and food, businesses today are now doing Web meetings.

Web meetings make it possible to better control your time because you no longer have to get to the airport two hours before the flight, there are no delays, and you don't have to buy an airline ticket.

Web meetings make it easy for you to put together a meeting because your clients no longer have to change their schedule in order to attend. many Web meetings happen before the traditional 9-to-5 hours or afterwords. Web meetings make it simple because you can plug in your WebCam and show people your desktop to get your point across in your meeting.

You can do multiple presentations in a day and in different parts of the world with Web meetings. traditional body language is still in use because you're using your WebCam. Facial expressions, voice tone, and rapport building still happens, you've just eliminated the biggest expense to making those happen the traditional way.

Till recently, Web meetings were not a great option for businesses because of the great expense associated with it. Putting a few hundred or even 1000 people on the Web meeting was very costly and the technology was not as clear as it is today.

Competition has created the opportunity for smaller companies to now use Web meetings as a way of better connecting with their clients. For less than the cost of a day's rental car, you can now do in unlimited quantity of Web meetings with up to 2000 people attending.

the investment for Web meetings runs anywhere from thousands of dollars per year to around $50-$100 per month. As more and more mom and pop companies become aware of this technology they are able to make more sales, in less time, at a lower cost.

Becoming more competitive with Web meetings is simple when you're aware of the technologies available. You no longer have to prequalify a client before you make a presentation. Web meetings simply allow you to avoid the cost of flying to a different location to make that presentation in person. Many small businesses now have a 1 to 2 day turnaround versus a 2 to 3 week turnaround on sales because of Web meetings.
