Say What?!: Shifts in Conversation, Collaboration & Communication within the Startups of Today 

In today's fast-paced business world, startups are constantly faced with the challenge of adapting to new ways of communication and collaboration. 

The shift in conversation, networking, sales, and marketing languages can be overwhelming, but it is crucial for startups to roll with these changes in order to come out on top.

The key to success lies in our ability to be open-minded and willing to explore innovative approaches that align with the latest trends and technologies.

Have a Vision

Communication of your startup's vision is as important as finding a good Wi-Fi connection! In this ever-evolving business landscape, startups need to embrace new ways of communicating to stand out from the crowd. 

There are new and exciting ways to get your message across. It's all about finding that sweet spot where your purpose and direction align with your target audience's interests.

By staying focused on your goals, you can tailor your messaging to resonate with your target audience. It's like finding the perfect balance between a catchy jingle and a heartfelt message that brings tears to your eyes (or at least makes you want to buy something).

So whether it's through social media, video conferencing, or holographic projections, startups have endless opportunities to communicate their vision in ways that captivate and engage.

Have a Foundation

To have a strong foundation of skills in communication, it's essential for startups to understand the methods of communication that work best in the market.

It's like learning the secret language of business success - except instead of speaking in tongues, you're speaking in emails, Slack messages, and Zoom calls.

But it's not just about having a fancy vocabulary or knowing all the buzzwords. Startups need to understand the methods of communication that resonate with their target market. You don't want to be speaking in hieroglyphics when your customers are all about emojis!

Email, telephone calls, text, voice to text, message, Facetime, Slack, Zoom, Whats App, Ping – I mean the list goes on so  let's not forget about the importance of establishing robust internal communication channels within your startup teams. 

It's like building a bridge between departments, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and no one gets lost in translation.

Have Your Own Wheel

When it comes to getting your message across, startups need to find the method that works best for their product. 

And no, we're not talking about reinventing the wheel here. We're talking about identifying the most effective way to communicate – whether it's through calls, emails, texts, or maybe even carrier pigeons if you're feeling adventurous!

But here's the secret sauce: once you've found your preferred method of communication, it's time to train your staff in that particular method. 

After all, you want them to be communication ninjas who can wield their chosen tool with finesse and precision.

By leveraging their skills and embracing a unified approach to communication, startups can create a harmonious symphony of collaboration.

Just imagine your team flawlessly executing projects while exchanging witty banter through well-crafted emails or sending GIF-filled texts that make everyone chuckle.

In this rapidly changing business landscape, startups have the opportunity to redefine how we communicate and collaborate. By embracing new technologies, staying true to their vision, establishing a solid foundation for communication, and showcasing their unique strengths – entrepreneurs can navigate these shifts successfully while coming out on top.
