Ladies who chat
Wednesday, January 10th, 2007How do you get four women to agree to a weekend away and get all the arrangement sorted in 25 minutes?
I decided to try the OzoneLITE Conferencing system and get all four women on the phone at the same time, just as I do in my business life.
The result was very satisfying, once the women had overcome their phobia of tele-conferencing and realised just how easy it is to dial a number, enter a code and then say ‘hello’! The women, all good friends of mine, are based in Leicester, Nottingham, London and Swindon and we try to get away together once a year.
I organised the call, had in mind a brief ‘agenda’ and encouraged them to look at a particular holiday venue website beforehand. Once they got the hang of speaking one-at-a-time, and got through the pleasantries, we went on to discuss our holiday options, dates and venue. Actions were agreed between us before we ended with general New Year best wishes.
It was fun to do and easy to arrange. I think we will continue to use this method of communicating as it is very cost-effective and quite fun to have everyone linked-up at the same time.
