Business Chat Room is the Most Effective way for Internal Communication

An office is an hectic place. No so long ago, if you needed to talk to someone in another room, you simply went to the other room and talk to the other person. Than latter on you used a phone call and recently in the past decade you send email or send text messages. Than mobile apps came along and the options were unbelievable.

I remember that my colleague were just sitting in-front of me and when I was hungry, I sent them an email with the question “Lunch?“. The reply was “In 5 minutes“. This approach was fine for making a decision for going together to lunch, but when communication involve a group, it get complicated.

Now, we have tons of options to communicate this days like iMessage, Skype, Google Talk and Twitter direct messages. Each have their own usage and you can get business done with them just as much as with a professional business chat app.

A business chat room app is making teams more efficient and combine the communication between the different groups. It gives extra value if :

  • The team seats in different locations, different floors or even different countries.
  • There is time differences between the team members.
  • A company needs to make internal communications richer than emails with attachments, simpler than sending a text, and as easy to search through as your Evernote notebooks.

Check if you need an HTML Business Chat for your Team?

Of course, No one needs to be yelling from office to office, or send a lot of emails with many CC’s and attachments. It’s basically a lost of valuable time. Here are the things you can use a group business chat for.

Share Files and Documents

Working with a team requires a lot of documents sharing. It is important that one can upload his own files and share with his group. The group chat must have an option to share videos and images directly in the business chat (not as a file).

When one upload a file it is automatically detected and presented as attachment or as inline image. For example, if one upload a word document, it will show as a word icon. While when uploading a youtube video, it will show in the chat with a play icon.

Send Short Audio Messages

Record short audio messages to the team, can be very helpful when sent to the group. This can be done by clicking on the attach icon and clicking on the record audio icon.

Live Video Calls Between Chat Members

Live Video and Audio calls is needed for private conversation between two members of the group.

Private chats

Some time we will need to talk in private with one member of the group. We can use the old concept of private text messages done by clicking on the user name that we wish to talk to.

Design

Team chat can be customized to your own liking. So design one that looks good and prefer the ones that let you do it using CSS.

See how it will look like :

Pricing

Pricing is not something a company can ignore. If group chat is needed and the benefits are clear, there are many that offer group business chat for teams. Choose the most attractive one for your team.

How to create social interaction for small business websites

I recently came across a piece on business social interaction in The TechRepublic Post that caught my eye. In it, Ryan Boudreaux argued:

“Engage your customers – Be sure to get your customers engaged in your responsive social media. Reply, respond, re-tweet, and be sure to answer any questions or critiques that customers may post on your social media sites.”

The argument was: that engaging your customers or potential customers is essential for the success of your business.

While we certainly agree and witness it our selves. It is also important to emphasize the means and tools to create such an engagement. We all know the Tweet effect and the posts in Facebook that businesses are heavily involved in. However, we at RumbleTalk see that a simple tool, a web chat room for your website or blog, will be effective in so many ways. Here are some idea’s we would like to share with you.

  • The main advantage of using a chat room in your business is to create a community around your business core values.
  • Creating a chat room will result in people entering your website and asking questions. You can answer their questions in a 1 to 1 approach or have a group conversation. There is nothing more attractive for a visitor than a conversation in a group, even as an observer.
  • Chat rooms in business will give your web site visitors another reason to return to your website. Isn’t that what we are all looking for?
  • Users can invite their Facebook friends to the conversation in a click. This will expose your brand to the world through your visitors.
  • You can promote your products via chat room. This is easy with the ability to add images, videos and URLs to live conversation.
  • It is the cheapest way to promote and leverage your audience visits.

To sum it up, more and more brands, companies and SMB’s are starting to use the power of social interaction with website visitors. RumbleTalk is here to help them by supplying the tool and technology to do so.
