As if the rise in the price of petrol up to £1.20 a litre wasn’t bad enough, the Chancellor is set to increase fuel duty as of April 2010, pilling more pressure on businesses. But it doesn’t mean you have to pull your business onto the hard shoulder.
While the 3p rise in duty is the last thing small businesses need to worry about, now could be the best time to ditch the car and try out conference calling. Cutting out unnecessary travel can help reduce those future petrol bills, plus help with productivity and improve employees’ work-life balance.
Over the phone, internet or via video, conference calling no longer means participants need to huddle around one loudspeaker. Up to 40 people can join one call direct from their desks no matter if they’re in the same city, county or country.
Still not enough? Why not try out web conferencing, which lets participants share, view and discuss documents and presentations in real time.
Timely, efficient and more productive than hours in the car, conferencing could be just what your business needs to save money.
