Even with high bandwith ability you might get stuttering, voice loss and picture loss. In that case “the flow” of the meeting may be lost especially if you are doing the selling or convincing.

If you organized and proposed video conference and the technology lets you down, your business partner may lose confidence in you.

It may not be logical and connected to what you offer (maybe you build chairs or sell rugs) but people make many decisions based on emotions and not logic.

I added a resource which lists some of the disadvantages of web conferencing which may be similar to your case.

First of all the quality of the voice and image is dependent on so many different factors that it might not be the software that’s creating the issue, but could even be the sound cards they have, the graphic card, the internet connection… Etc etc..
That being said, there is a good free video conferencing software here

and several more on Source Forge, which is all freeware and much of it is as good as the stuff you buy, if not better.
When in doubt, and in need of software.. Always try sourceforge.net

I like LCD better. You need to decide if you’re going to put blackout drapes in the room as sun coming in the window will wash out your display. If you don’t want to pay for blackout drapes – then make sure whatever you choose it will be bright enough to see well with what light does come into the room. Second and perhaps more important is the sound system. Be sure to choose quality microphones that pick up sound well and transmit as much frequency as possible of peoples’ speech. You want to avoid losing the emotion/intonation as that is very important information. And get good speakers.
