I haven't used skype for business in the last three months. Let me tell you why...
There's just something different about [bench]. Hard to explain. But shit just gets done on Bench.
I've done thousands of skype calls (I've sold to companies all around the world from little old New Zealand.) Skype was my home for the last 36 months.
But for getting things done with my team, when we're not in the same room together, well [bench] has completely changed the game for me.
I've never been challenged to work so accountably. I've never been so focused in meetings. I've never been so productive with a group of people I've never even met before.
And that's the thing with [bench]. Other than Mike, Tom and Adam, none of us have even met each other. But our meetings are like best friends every day. Best friends...who get shit done together.
@umitakcn I know what you mean Umit. People are trying to solve remote collaboration problem since the dawn of the internet, but recently it's getting crazy :D

This is an area that's important to me as a future remote worker. Tools and services that enable remote team collaboration are going to become more and more vital as the trend for companies to allow and even encourage employees to work remotely increases. We need tools like Bench to push collaboration and lower the potential costs of going remote. All the best with the launch 🚀
@fredrivett we are already there. [bench] team is spread across Los Angeles, Poland, Estonia and New Zealand. We are working remotely for years and decided to create a better tool for us. Good luck with your future remote work Fred.

@augenblick75 Scratching your own itch is a classic move! Congrats on getting this out there 👏
This is cool. Just signed up :)
I usually use Google Docs to discuss idea with my team in Singapore and Vietnam. Google Docs works well with text but not so much with graphic. But what I like about using Google Docs is asynchronous communication.
We are in different timezone and speak different native language. We need time to think and elaborate idea. We need time to give quality feedback. That's why we do not use Skype.
I will try to see if this works for international team like us :)
