How Videos Can Answer Questions and Train Employees Easily

Podcast, , ,

If you record a video to answer these questions or to train your employees it will save so much time in the long run.  Instead of replying to the message with a half-baked answer, you can reply to a link to your video on YouTube or saved it to your camera roll. Then you're using your own well-thought-out words and visuals to answer…
