📱5 Ways To Connect One-On-One - VIRTUALLY! 📱

Hey everyone, your Marketing Group here. How're you doing, staying safe? Our team is thinking of each and every one of you.

As we all practice Social Distancing (Netflix, dogs, and the couch, anyone?), there are still plenty of ways to connect to our clients - and we need to! We've heard countless stories this week alone of clients and agents connecting virtually, so we wanted to share some of the best methods with you. It's easier than you think, and makes a HUGE difference to your clients!

FaceTime

So easy you might've forgotten about it! If you have an iPhone specifically, you can dial in through VIDEO with any other iPhone. Need to have a conversation? Tour a home? Say hi to your clients' dogs? Okay, I'll stop with the dogs...Regardless! FaceTime is a simple FREE solution to connect virtually.

Skype

You remember Skype, right? From 2008? Well guess what - it's still around and STILL AWESOME! If you and your clients have Skype accounts (again, absolutely free!), you can connect through computers OR the Skype app, which you can download on any smartphone or tablet.

Google Hangouts & Meet

One of the perks of switching over to Gmail is using Google Hangouts! In Gmail, click in the upper right corner for your App Menu, then click MEET. You can then send this link to anyone you want to connect with, either computer or mobile (for mobile, they'll need to download the free app first). They don't need an account either, they can plug right in. Plus, you can share your screen and go over any documents or presentations!

Facebook Messenger

Bet you didn't know you could do this, did you?! Through Facebook Messenger, you can actually connect through VIDEO with any of your friends! Just go to Messenger (desktop or mobile app!) and look for the video icon.

Zoom

A third party company that we utilize as Schmidt Family of Companies, you can also sign up for a FREE basic account! The Basic plan has a 40 minutes time limit on meetings with three or more total participants. Zoom is an incredibly reliable tool and allows you to screen share as well.
