The Importance Of Technology In Business Communications
It always surprises me when I come across a customer that doesn’t email or use the internet in any way when doing business. Over the past 20 years it has become an indispensable tool to find customers and reach out to them in a way that is both non-threatening and instantaneous. I recently called a potential customer and asked for their business email address so I could send over some forms. It would have sped up the process drastically and cut down on the need to use the expensive mail service. They didn’t use email. Nor did they have a fax machine. I’m relatively certain they don’t have Blackberries, http://us.blackberry.com/smartphones/ Smart phones have literally changed the way I do business, and in a good way. Instead of having to be in my office when certain important phone calls came in, I can just be on the road and when I know an important call is coming I can pull over to the side of the road. In fact, many small business owners are getting rid of their store-front’s entirely!,http://blog.movingcost.com/moving-experts/things-to-consider-before-working-at-home.htmlNo matter how you spin it, technology is essential in communication these days. Communication is essential in business. That’s all there is to it.
