Professional video conference setup for real estate virtual assistants

One of the essentials to successful integration of your Philippines based staff and your local staff is regular communication. Over and above a 1:1 meeting that can be done via Zoom or Skype, you will need to have larger group meetings from time to time. It may be for an event, workshop style training, company briefing or a department meeting.

If you’re thinking about working with a Real Estate Virtual Assistant, or maybe you’re looking at growing your Philippines-based team, a functional video conferencing setup is really useful.

Here are 3 of the professional video conference tools widely used by real estate virtual assistants:

Microphone

• You need a mic and speaker so you can hear the other party and they can hear you.

• We use the JABRA SPEAK 510, which sells for around $120.

TV

• Its good to set your meeting room up with a big screen TV, it makes having meetings with groups of people so much easier and makes everything all the more personal.

• Any TV will do, as long as it has a USB port, pick one that fits nicely in your meeting room.

• You could also use a projector (with a USB port).

Computer

• The final thing you need is a computer you can connect to your TV and run your web conferencing application.  

• We use an Intel Compute Stick CS125. These sticks plug straight into to the TV’s USB port and can run Windows, your web conferencing applications, web browsers etc.  

• They are small and compact which reduces the clutter and cords in your meeting rooms.

• You can pick these up for just under $200.

At the Beepo office in the Philippines, we provide our staff with meeting and training areas, a cafeteria, lockers and an area to chillout and relax while on breaks. One of the important considerations is being able to provide staff with a private place they can meet with their clients  away from the noise and distraction of the main floor.
