Before you get off the phone after setting up a meeting, ask your client one more question. Ask if they have Skype. If they have it, find out if they’d be interested in having a Skype meeting. Follow-up with a confirmation the next day and make sure to share your Skype name. Not everyone may want a Skype meeting, but if even half of your clients agree to use it, it’ll prove to be very effective. 

Why Conduct Skype Meetings?:

1) Convenience

Conducting a Skype meeting will allow you meet from wherever suits you. You can stay in the office and have more time for other work, instead of spending that time travelling to your meeting.

2) Time-saving

You’ll skip heavy traffic and won’t have to travel around the city if you booked several Skype meetings for one day. In a city like Hong Kong, it would be impossible to get from one meeting to another. With our busy daily lives, it’s always nice to save time any way possible.

3) Boosts business success

Without having to take in account travelling time and distance, you’ll now be able to fit more meetings into your day. The higher amount of meetings you have will lead to a higher volume of business opportunities. This will lead to higher revenue and more growth for your business.

 4) Closest you’ll get to an in-person meeting

During a Skype meeting, conduct yourself the same way you would in person. If you usually stand during a meeting, do so during the call. The interaction will continue to exist as they can see your facial expressions and you can see theirs. Ask questions as you normally would and continue to keep the conversation engaging.

How often do you conduct Skype meetings?

As people are living busier lives, setting up a meeting can sometimes be the toughest part for growing a business. Before asking “when’s a good time for us to meet?” consider the “Two Options Close.” Giving a client select options will help set up a meeting sooner rather than later.

3 Steps in a “Two Options Close:”

1) Offer two options for a day to meet

The first step is to offer two available days of the week, such as Tuesday or Thursday. When you limit the options to two days, it makes it easier for the client to choose instead of frying their brain.

Even if the person does not know if either of those days will work, still ask which one would be better. We’re often afraid to give the answer, even though we know it. This will often result in a decision, which will then lead you to the next step of the “Two Options Close.”

2) Pick two times of the day

Depending on your client, first narrow the options to two times of the day for a meeting. This could be either morning or afternoon, or afternoon or evening. Do not ask them “what time is good for you?” This gives them too many options to think about.

3) Give two (strange) timeslots

Once the client makes a decision, you then take the final step to wrap up your “Two Options Close.” You offer them two available timeslots to meet with you, and make sure they’re strange times. For example, if they said afternoon works, offer a meeting at either 1:15 p.m. or 3:45 p.m.

Remember, having too many days or times to choose from can often result in the dreaded “I’ll get back to you” answer. The client may have to check their calender or may not remember their availability. They might get back to you right away, or possibly never. This can lead towards the kiss of death, often resulting in no meeting at all.
