Introduction
Push-to-talk (PTT) systems are a great way to help your team communicate in the moment, but it’s not enough to just install them. As with any technology, there are best practices that can help you get the most out of your PTT system and ensure that your business is communicating efficiently and effectively.
Communication is Key
To get the most out of your PTT system, you need to be able to communicate well with your team. This is something that most people don’t think about when they’re setting up their communication system. They’ll focus on the hardware and software, but not how to use it effectively. The reality is that if you don’t know how to use the tool properly then it will be useless for everyone else in your team too!
Communication is key when working together as a group because it helps everyone stay up-to-date on what others are doing at any given time. This means fewer mistakes made by accident due to lack of knowledge about an individual’s progress or status within a project; less confusion surrounding who should do what; increased efficiency overall because there aren’t so many questions being asked constantly between teammates (which takes away from actual productive work).
Know Your Business and Listen to Your Customers
You should start by knowing your business and listening to your customers.
With a clear understanding of what the problem you are trying to solve, you can better understand how a Push-to-Talk system will help solve that problem. Asking yourself questions such as: What is the business goal? What are the business challenges? What are the business opportunities? Who are our customers, their needs and challenges? How could we better serve them through this technology or service?
Once you have answers for these questions, it’s time for planning!
Get Smart with Data
Data is the key to understanding your customers’ needs and wants, which can help you improve your business.
If you’re not already using data to improve your business, here are some ways it could be beneficial:
- Data helps you make better decisions. When you have access to data on a regular basis, you’ll be able to make faster and more informed decisions about how best to use resources in order for them to have the biggest impact on your organization as possible. The more information that’s available about what works well for customers (and what doesn’t), the better equipped everyone will be at making sure those customers are happy with their experiences with us!
Don’t Overcomplicate Things
In the business world, there are many things that can go wrong with a push to talk system. However, you can avoid most of these issues by keeping things simple and focusing on one thing at a time.
For example: if your employees are using their own mobile devices for work purposes then they may have different operating systems and browsers on their phones. This means that if you decide to use an app instead of something like Skype or Google Hangouts as an interface then it will likely only work with one type of device (IOS vs Android). In addition to this problem, if someone doesn’t have access to wifi then they won’t be able to use the app at all! The solution? Don’t try and do everything at once! Instead focus on creating a solid phone system first before exploring other options such as web based solutions or apps for mobile devices.

Know the Limitations of Push To Talk Technology
Push-to-talk technology is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Before you invest in this technology, it’s important to understand the limitations of push to talk technology. Some limitations include:
- Push-to-talk does not work well over long distances or through walls
- It may be difficult for some users who are hard of hearing or have speech impediments (e.g., stutter)
A successful push to talk system is one that meets your customers’ needs.
The first step to creating a successful push to talk system is understanding your customers’ needs.
There are three main types of customers:
- Business users, who need to be able to communicate with their colleagues in an efficient way and get immediate feedback from them when they make decisions or ask questions;
- Technical staff, who are responsible for maintaining the infrastructure of the communications system;
- Users at home or on-the-go (e.g., sales reps), who want access anywhere at any time without having to carry around bulky equipment or worry about connectivity issues in remote locations
Conclusion
A push to talk system is an important tool for businesses, but it’s not the only one. A successful push to talk system is one that meets your customers’ needs and helps them do their jobs better.
