Advantages of face-to-face virtual meetings:
The multiple advantages offered by face-to-face virtual meetings have captured the attention of many companies for years. In many cases SMEs, which wish to communicate with clients and other professionals without leaving the office use the face-to-face online meeting option.

Undoubtedly, many meetings can be held remotely without the need to use time or money to travel, something that any company values very positively and contributes directly to the income statement and productivity.
2. Greater number of communications - The convenience of using any of the videoconferencing tools on the market means that any company has the possibility of communicating with customers, partners, or suppliers in a very agile way. This in turn allows the number of communications to be increased, whenever they are necessary.
3. Better follow-up of projects with the client - Clients always value the monitoring that we do of their projects or the professional relationships that we have. With face-to-face online meetings, distance is not a problem to able to speak face to face frequently with the client, providing adequate follow-up and transmitting much more closeness through virtual meetings. Undoubtedly, in many cases, it can become a great tool to build loyalty and improve customer satisfaction.

The possibility of bringing together the executives or people involved in the decision in the same space is essential so those firm agreements can be reached more quickly than if we have to find a face-to-face meeting of all the members, with travel/travel and plus associated scheduling difficulties.
