GoToMeeting

You've finally gotten a serious bite on that commercial property you've had on the market forever. However, it's quickly become a logistical nightmare. The buyers agent is very accomodating but there is also three lawyers, the client company's representative and (dear God no!) the need for a minor zoning change. That's quite an orchestra to conduct but the result could be the largest commission of your career so far. You're ready to throw a significant amount of money at this to make it happen but you don't have to.
All of these people have access to the internet both at home and at work. GoToMeeting is a perfect solution for this situation. All the other people need, is access to a computer with a web browser on it like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Think for a moment about this. How often are all of these people at their computers at the same time? Send an email today and you are all meeting tomorrow morning. The power of getting people together to hammer out the zillion tiny issues that come up in a deal like this is incredible. Is it worth $50 a month to you? It is to me.

We started using GoToMeeting with the free trial. We did a few meetings with it and it really worked well for us but we really didn't do many meetings at all that would justify it. Cut to three years later and we were looking for a solution to our post-implementation troubleshooting. It became necessary to do an email and phone dance with the implementation team, the sales team, the client and the developers. This would take weeks of emails and phone calls. All of a sudden I was like, why don't we just use that GoToMeeting software. We know it workls because we tried the free trial successfully and this way we can get everyone together at the same time and do in days what used to take weeks. We did and it worked. What a great tool.
