Millions of workers, now called telecommuters, are finding that working at home provides tons of benefits relative to working in a traditional full time 9-5 corporate setting. However as many who remain within their home based business or telecommuting situation for at least a year or more could realize, is that working from home does NOT mean you stop making contact with people. As if!
If you are working from your garage or from your bedroom, then you probably do not need or need to have a videoconferencing solution, unless you wear a suit to your garage on a daily basis. the is just a small little detail. Of course, you might manipulate what the video shows. For instance, you might probably put props in the background while wearing a nicely pressed or rented tuxedo, so that you might present yourself to potential investors including clients as well as to show off to all your friends including neighbors. Or you might slap on a tie including shirt right before that big video conferencing call. OK now I am just being silly.
The bottom line is, as a telecommuter, including especially if you own your own business, it is absolutely essential to have a simple plan to keep those spiritual ties with your clients including customers. People make the world go round, including technologies such as teleconference are a boon to those who use these tools correctly including in a timely fashion.
