Wrap Up Your Year-End Objectives in a Snap
Best ways to avoid hectic year-end travel with video conferencing.

You are stressed enough this time of year, not only dealing with what gift to buy for Great Aunt Mildred, but trying to wrap up year-end business objectives, close final deals or fill open headcount. This is also the time when everyone longs to be with family. Here are some ideas to help you get everything done "in person" without the hassle.

With InterCall’s video conferencing services, we keep you connected as travel budgets tighten and the time you have to get things done continues to shrink. And with our team of video experts, you get the latest in product innovation and proven service and reliability to ensure your message is successfully communicated.

If you think video conferencing is still a hassle because you don’t have equipment in your office or the people you’re meeting with do not have a video room, think again! InterCall's video conferencing ties into a network of over 9000 publicly rented video conferencing rooms. We’ll help you set appointments at locations near you and near the parties with whom you want to connect…all you have to do is walk in and start talking!

Use video conferencing to:

• Interview prospective job candidates in remote locations. Get a feel for their body language and professionalism without having to travel during the hectic holiday season.
• Get on the same page with C-level executives while justifying your budget needs for next year. Some things are simply best said with straightforward eye contact, giving credibility to your position and needs for financial support. You can get together with them quickly, without the planning and advance notice required for travel.
• Give your clients and yourself a break when wrapping up year-end deals. If you meet by video, you can still get face time and you can all go right home to your families at the end of the day.
• Kick off 2008 goals to your team. Gather 'round the video camera for real-time discussion of new objectives…it’s a great way to show your enthusiasm and caring for the team by meeting them face-to-face.
• Conduct high-impact training presentations about new product lines that will affect sales in 2008. Visually showcase product releases to geographically dispersed business associates.

Whether you need to meet one-on-one with a client or potential employee or bring remote teams together, InterCall’s video conferencing services let you do it virtually to improve communication, strengthen relationships, make quick decisions or finalize a strategy.

Let us help you with the big stuff….but you’re on your own when it comes to Great Aunt Mildred’s present.
