Video Conferencing offers more opportunity for “brainstorming”

The ultimate key to getting a sale is that you come up with a better offer than your competitors. Having a competitive advantage means that you have come up with a unique proposition that will not be matched by your competitors. It could be product features, pricing, support, financing, delivery times, contract terms etc. It has to be of special appeal to the customer. Most companies believe they have the best products and that is why it is very difficult to find material difference in the products themselves. To get genuine competitive advantage you need to be thinking laterally and to do this you need to solicit the help of others from other disciplines and experiences. You need to organize a “brain storming” session. Video conferencing gives you the capability to get together the best minds from anywhere in the organization and the opportunity to create genuine competitive advantage and sell more product.

Video conferencing in the near future will lead to more sales effectiveness

As more and more companies introduce video conferencing it will become a major sales tools and differentiate you from your competitors. No one would argue with the fact that a face to face meeting with the prospect is ultimately the best forum for selling. The more times you can get in front of the person the more you can use your unique sales skills and therefore the better your chance of success. This is all very fine if the prospective buyer is in the same state, but if they are interstate or even overseas the opportunity to meet will be limited. Video conferencing will provide an effective substitute for face to face meetings. You will be able to talk to your client, study the body language, do presentations, qualify, qualify, qualify as many times as can orchestrate all without leaving your desk.
