Make A More Personal Contact

by | Nov 17, 2020 | Business

Companies often look into contracting the ability to video conference in Columbus because they find that email and phone conversations are just not sufficient. In business situations, the accuracy of communication is important, and it is not always enough to simply write what you mean, or have a verbal exchange without all the other cues that accompany an in-person conversation. Having a video conference in Columbus can bring a communication much closer to being an in-person visit from just having a simple phone call.

Many businesses understand that certain conversations can’t be held by email, instant messaging, or by phone. They will fly to a customer’s site, even though they have no deliverables, simply to conduct an important piece of business in person. This has become more and more costly as transportation costs rise. However, for some conversations the cost is still justified, although not necessarily easily budgeted. Fortunately for today’s modern companies, many of these essential conversations can now be conducted in a video conference in Columbus.

Communications experts often say that when two people communicate in person, the audible portion of the conversation is only a part of the total communication that is performed. Listeners not only receive the content of the speech and the way it is delivered, they also watch the facial expressions, particularly the eyes, and are affected — either consciously or subconsciously — by the speaker’s body language. When a businessman wants to deliver an important message, he will often want to do so with his complete appearance and personality. He wants the other person to see how he is dressed, how he moves, and the expression on his face, not just how he is speaking. Conversely, when he is listening to an important conversation, he wants to see these same things in order to see if he should be taking the other person seriously, if he should trust the other person, and if he thinks the other person is excited or committed to what he is saying. Video conferencing simply provides a much richer and complete form of communication.

Making sure to communicate exactly what you want through a video conference in Columbus is also important. Suppose the relations between you and a supplier have become strained and your communications have become negative. Now you are ready to smooth the waters, but if you send an email, even the most carefully worded missive can be filtered through the supplier’s current experience, and misinterpreted. A video conference can show through a relaxed posture and body language what you intend to communicate with your words. This strategy can help keep a volatile relationship on track.
