Nowadays, more people are working remotely than ever before. This means that, instead of meeting in person in a conference room, office, or over lunch, people have to communicate over greater distances.
There are many tools and solutions that have been created to help bridge the gap and enhance communications in this new paradigm. But one of the best solutions to emerge has been video calling. That's because people retain 95% of content they watch via video compared to only 10% of contact read by text.
However, video calling isn't just a great tool for internal communications; it can also be used to convert prospects, recruit new talent, and enhance efficiency on your shop floor.
Videos that Increase Industrial Sales
Today, most buyers find their home online. This means they are not meeting people one-on-one very often. You should take advantage of every opportunity to meet a potential buyer. This could mean putting your phone down and using a video calling app.
Sales professionals can only get an idea of a prospect's feelings or thoughts by their voice or tone. Prospects' expressions and body language are a complete guess. Sales professionals know how important these physical cues and facial expressions are when trying to figure out what to do next.
As a salesperson, it is important to know about your company's prospects. You can use video conferencing to connect with people and businesses all over the world. This way, you can see their needs and figure out what your company can do to help them. You can also share screens and other information to make these interactions more interesting for everyone involved.
Recruitment And Video Conferencing
There is a shortage of workers in the manufacturing industry who are able to do two things: fill the shoes of retiring workers and help navigate the complexities of Industry 4.0. Video calling is a great tool that allows you to get to know someone better than you can from just their resume or a phone screen.
Video Conferencing On The Shop Floor
Manufacturing has improved in many ways because of globalization. However, with the worldwide expansion of vendors and suppliers comes the challenge of distance and cultural barriers. This can often lead to delays in getting things done. Fortunately, video tools can help manufacturers be more efficient, more effective, and ultimately, more competitive.
In the last 30 years, there has been a big change in how people communicate. People now use email, instant messaging, and video conferencing to talk to each other. This is because people are looking for ways to work more efficiently.
How do manufacturers use video in specific areas of business?
Quality Assurance
Using video conferencing can help streamline the product inspection process. By having meetings with different departments of your business, you can help maintain product quality. This will save time and money while reducing errors. You can also use video conferencing for product inspections, remote product tracking, validation tests, and production line status updates.
Supply Management
Real-time video helps to keep communication going between suppliers, vendors, and customers in different locations. This is helpful for most manufacturers because it allows for better inventory management and more accurate forecasting of supply and demand.
Video conferencing is a great way to communicate with people. You can see them and they can see you.
