Skype innovation Moment maker, digital guru and extreme
innovator, Chris Merkle uses Skype video calling to manage his digital agency
and collaborate with teams around the globe. This means he has more time to
focus on the future of digital and what’s next, as well as growing his
business. You can keep up with him and his adventures in innovation through
Facebook. For now here are four of his top reasons skype can help your business
grow.
1.
Go global or stay home
Want to grow your own business? It’s time to think global. Whether
your company sources products from overseas or include sales offices around the
world, it will likely need to support folks from every walk of life.
2.
Seal the deal (Eye to Eye):
Initially, new business connections will come via
world-of-mouth or referrals. In other words, you can chat up confidentially
over a coffee. When negotiating a multi-million dollar contract or investment,
it makes sense to spend the money for an airline ticket to meet someone in
person for a few hours. But for those smaller deals, Skype is a great way to
communicate trust and confidence over video, while keeping that flight money in
your bank account.
3.
True task masters
Accountability is key here, especially when you’re on
projects with aggressive deadlines. If one person no-shows, huge communication
gaps happen and time gets wasted. Reviewing each person’s daily to-do list or
overarching goals within a group video call ensures everyone starts on the same
page.
4.
Catch the brightest idea
Creativity knows no timeframe, usually that influx of ideas
rarely coinsides with time spent “working”. Ideas get triggered at the
strangest times—the middle of the night, while on vacation, even when simply
strolling down the street. Skype screen sharing offers a bit of collaborative
structure to the creative chaos. It allows you to clearly communicate every random
thought or “game plan” to your team—in a sensible, organized manner.
