In a perfect world my team would all adopt Skype or let me put them on a list for Google Plus Hangouts, or in a Facebook Chat.
Reality is each of the members will use one of these, some of these, or none of these. Some will give me an e-mail address that works and some will even provide a phone number I might be able to call from my cell. There will also be some who have the audacity to think they can run a business with no human contact or interaction.
So where I am at in my business I ask the ones by direct e-mail who will respond, which method is best to reach them, and if they are willing to try Skype or join a Facebook Chat. Daily contact is always best to keep a team on track and motivated. Even if you aren't talking about the business you will be a reminder of the work they aren't doing or part of the reason they continue doing the work.
I had a successful Skype Group managed business for over 7 years and the level of teamwork and dedication was second to none. Trust was built, and a lot of work got done and everyone looked forward to turning their Skype on daily. I would love to have my team all have Skype or a similar tool and work together like that, we would be unstoppable.
