Exploiting the online tools

Over the last few weeks Zoom conferencing has come into its own.  Prior to the lockdown I, like a lot of people, had used it for receiving information via online seminars.  In the last few weeks though, there has been a general awareness of how easy it is to set up online meetings between team members, suppliers, business support groups, one on one coaching or mentoring and networking in general.

How easy it is now to arrange an invite to your customers to participate in remote team meetings, or a face to face promotion, a friendly catch up with your customers or fellow business contacts, or even keep up family contact.

Those who have embraced it certainly have a head start for part of the way going forward.  If you haven’t mastered it, and want to learn here is a link which may help you:

Other opportunities taken I have noticed include online liquor wholesalers delivering to your door, seafood wholesalers promoting ice cold polythene packed fresh fish, doctors using zoom to have face to face appointments, hardware and marine suppliers offering deliveries, many in your face promotions on Facebook, and numerous food and retail  outlets gearing up to deliver under level 3.

So how can you use the online platform to advance your business over the next few weeks?  If you need to talk about ideas I am happy to have either a telephone, Skype or Zoom meeting with you – or as face to face when that is permitted.  Just email me graham@yoursoundingboard.co.nz or phone 021 395 122.
