More thoughts about yesterdays webcast

I was thinking about this again this morning. We had 17 people watching the webcast of the training session yesterday. I know that doesn't sound like much, but consider that if the company had flown each one here, put them up in a hotel for one night, paid for a car, meals, and whatever else they charge to their expense accounts...it could cost $1,000 per person easily. Believe me when I tell you...I did not charge them anywhere near $17,000. to do this webcast!

Money is one thing, but think about how "green" this was.

I have a client - a huge global company - that reduced their travel when business dropped off. Since they started using video services, they've decided to continue discouraging travel, opting for video conferences and webcasts instead.

This seems like an intelligent business decision. I just wonder why other companies aren't reaching the same conclusion.

Let me know your thoughts.
