I don’t know about you
, but seeing this sign makes me happy. Internet access has become a necessity to most of our everyday lives. Easy (and dare I say free) internet access over WiFi has almost become expected and can really drive customer behavior. I personally have made many a lunchtime, hotel or coffee break decision while on the road based solely on the ease of access to WiFi. In the office, cords and cables are quickly becoming a thing of the past and here’s why . . .
3 reasons why you need WiFi for internal and external to keep internal and external customers happy:
- Welcome your customers! For a business on main street free Wifi can draw customers and boost sales because they’ll stay longer in your shop. However, it doesn’t stop there. In an office environment where a customer is waiting to meet with you or perhaps might need to access information during a planning session, much like we offer coffee or water when we greet them, offering Wifi access can make them feel welcome and at ease.
- Boost Productivity! For internal customers (your employees) Wifi offers a better experience and allows them to be more efficient. “Lets all meet in the conference room to hash out the details of this project.” Being able to reply with – “Great! I’ll grab my laptop and meet you in 5” and be able to access cloud applications, data and resources on the fly when needed allows employees to collaborate more efficiently.
- Save money! Do you provide your employees with mobile phones? Having Wifi in the office can decrease their cellular data usage while on site. When looking a one or two users it won’t have a huge impact BUT if your entire sales organization and executive team could offload 20% of their data consumption to your local WiFi network that can really add up every month.
