I use SKYPE for meetings almost daily. I absolutely love it. Once my clients have surmounted any technology fears they may have and they have reasonably fast broadband connection they also love it. It improves my productivity and reduces my expenses. It is a productive tool for both me and you my clients, previously we would have a 2 hour on-site meeting, now when issues arise and we can deal with them quickly and move on. Instead of working with 2 to 3 clients a day, I can support 10 – 12 clients. As well as eliminating expenses involved with travelling, SKYPE is also free and works within my internet package.
To add to that, my market has gone from local businesses to worldwide businesses, I can SKYPE into Belgium or the Australian desert and have a meeting with them. If you are on the internet I can serve you.
I use the Microsoft VX-7000 Lifecam, which is very simple to set-up, and is so easy to use; I bought my entire family a Microsoft VX-7000 Lifecam at around $100 it helps us stay in touch.
Sound and video quality via skype is normally excellent, and on the rare occasions it isn’t we just restart the call again. It is free so not a big issue. I look forward to providing you remote support! Please contact me for my SKYPE name, so you add me to your SKYPE contacts.
