That’s a Wrap!

Hi there,

Quick note that Remote Octopus will be off next week for the holidays. We’ll return to your inbox on Thursday 11/30! 📬

Time flies when you’re having fun… and also when you’re trying to drive cross-functional collaboration on a remote video call.

How many times a week do you get to the very end of a call, in the middle of a conversation, and all of a sudden everyone has to jump into their next Zoom or Google Meet? 

And no one wrote down any action items?

Let’s prevent that.

Today’s Supercharge of the Week pairs well with last week’s newsletter where we explored how to kick off a cross-functional conversation.

⚡ Supercharge of the Week

Whether it’s a 15 minute call or a 90 minute call, Remote Octopus recommends setting aside time to wrap up the conversation. 

Effectively wrapping up the conversation ensures it is a positive use of personal and company time. 

Without a wrap up, as everyone scatters into their subsequent Zoom and Google Meet calls, the action items often get lost along the way. All of a sudden it’s the end of the day and no one can remember the next steps from the conversation.
