Tele-Audio Conferencing Tips

December 2nd, 2010
Linda Breim asked:




This article deals with some simple tips and things to keep in mind whenever you are going to participate in a teleconference. Usually every participant is given a common number which may be toll-free or not depending upon the service provider and also a bridge number which allows you to join the conversation.
So here are a few things to keep in mind:

o If you are the person responsible for setting up the call then it is important that you make it as easy as possible for all the participants to dial in. You can use VoIP services like Skype, considering you are a Skype member. You then simply need to add the phone numbers into a calling group and then you are ready to make a call.
o If you have a land line that is three ways enabled and you need to make an unplanned teleconference, then all you need to do is press the flash button on the phone and you are set. You can press the “flash” button to place the first caller on hold and then you can dial the second participant’s number and then press flash again. You then need to use a headset with a microphone which can be plugged into your phone.
o If you are using a VoIP system then you need to plug the headset into your computer. The headset prevents anyone else from listening in to your conversation and also mutes out and distracting sounds.

Webinar of web conferencing software such as GoToMeeting or Glance are great for setting up meetings online. It is advisable that you test the software before using it for an official meeting. Make sure that it works with your caller’s operating system and their web browsers. A good tip is to try and log in early so that technical glitches, if there are any, can be taken care of immediately.

The Conference Call Is Widely Used By Many Businesses

October 15th, 2010
MIKE SELVON asked:




During the last thirty years, the conference calling services have transformed from being a tool used primarily by large businesses to being something that is widely used by businesses of any size, as well as by private groups and even families. Conference calling has become so common these days that almost all of the new models of cell phones have a built in function that supports small conference calls.

Gone are the days when you had to have some massive, specialized and expensive equipment in order to host conference calls. These days, there is a good selection of low cost teleconferencing equipment that is affordable for virtually any company. Not only that, but there are even small groups and organizations, and even families, who can easily justify the small cost of teleconferencing equipment in order to make it easier for everyone in the group to stay in touch.

There are a number of different conference call equipment systems available on the market today. The conference call equipment that can handle hundreds of people calling into the system can cost thousands of dollars.

Yet, there are also smaller models designed to sit on a conference table, allowing a number of people in the room to hear and talk at the same time. This small teleconferencing equipment can be purchased for less than $100.

No matter what the cost, it does not take long to justify the expense because most of the time conference calls are replacing off-site meetings, which might be across the country or even across the ocean. These days, a teleconference is a very viable alternative to travel and it can save a company thousands of dollars just in a single month, if they are accustomed to sending many employees traveling around the globe on a regular basis.

In addition to buying equipment to host your own teleconference, there are also many teleconferencing services provided by companies that invest tens of thousands of dollars in the equipment. These teleconference services then allow companies to essentially rent their equipment and typically charge a fee based on how long the teleconference will last and how many people will be calling in.

Some of these services provide an 800 number so that the participants can call in without incurring long distance charges. In this instance, the company booking the service pays a “per minute” fee for each person who calls in on the 800 line.

This arrangement is a very good way to conduct conference calls that are held in order to do a sales presentation to prospective clients. Many times, clients will simply not call in to listen to a presentation if they have to pay for the long distance call. Having them call a toll-free 800 number makes a better impression and sends a message to the client about how they will be treated in the long run when dealing with the company.

Many small companies and organizations like to use the conference calling services that are completely free. This allows those in a group to call into a free teleconferencing number at a time that has been reserved by the person organizing the call. There are no fees or charges for using these free services, but in most cases people need to call into a phone number that would incur long distance charges.

Conference Calls for Sales Presentations

September 29th, 2010
Kieron James asked:




With the help of a voice conference, a number of people can simultaneously be connected to a single telephone call. Telephone conferencing can be done by one host calling up all the participants or every participant dialling the access code to connect to the conference bridge, which is basically a server connecting multiple telephone lines to each other. Call conferencing is frequently used by companies to communicate with people within as well as outside the business. This helps minimise business travel and cut down on expenses.

Teleconferencing service providers maintain conference bridges and provide unique access codes for a host of conferencing services. Modern conferencing solutions have evolved to the extent that web conferences allow sharing of documents via internet and video conferences allow sharing of visual information like Powerpoint presentations. This set-up is as almost as good as a personal meeting. It proves to be very useful while conducting sales presentations as sales data and projections can be examined and evaluated by all members concerned even if they are not physically present during for the meeting.

A teleconference can be conducted to give updates on sales figures and provide relevant information to employees as well as customers and suppliers. Conference call service providers also provide call recording facility which allows the teleconference to be recorded and played back. This is useful when people who are phone conferencing to attend the sales presentation. They may be in different time zones that prevent participation along with others.

A conference call can bring a number of people together to communicate ideas. It has proved to be a cost effective way of conducting sales presentations where the business has multiple offices located in different parts of the world. Each branch office can coordinate with each other as well as the head office and a combined sales presentation can be effectively carried out without anyone having to even step out of their offices.

Teleconferencing, in conjunction with multimedia services, allows sales officers to make sales presentations and even provide a platform for customer feedback. The physical location of the presenter or the participants does not matter. A computer, internet connection and a good service provider can ensure that a sales presentation is successful as a real meeting, without anyone having to travel. Every potential customer can be reached and this leads to more revenue for the business. With less travel expenses and increased revenues, it becomes a win-win situation for all concerned.

Online Web Conferencing

January 22nd, 2010
Nathalie Fiset asked:




Online web conferencing is seen by a lot of people today as the next evolution of business. Through This method opf communication, people are able to both network in order to increase the resources of their companies and still be up-to-date on the status of those companies in order to provide direction. There are, however, certain limitations to this relatively new piece of technology that few people learn to consider. As you may realize, knowing the limitation of a tool enables a person to know the fullest extent to which it can be utilized. This means that by assessing the limitations of this valuable tool, you will be able to use it in the best way possible.

One of the biggest advantages that people get from online conferencing is the ability to send data in different forms through long distances. People who make use of this method of conferencing often do so because phone conferencing may not be enough to meet their needs. Online web conferencing offers a variety of ways through which people may be able to send information.

You should first consider the fact that today, through VOIP technology the internet actually offers people a chance to use the internet as a cheaper phone solution. Voice over the Internet Protocol actually allows people to make use of their computers as telephones which can be a much cheaper option than making long-distance calls for a teleconference.

Speaking of options, the different types of long distance conferencing software today actually lets people share more than just their voice. With the different types of technology available today, people are actually able to minimize the effects of distance. They are able to communicate visually, using the web cam. They are also able to send various presentations and documents which could be invaluable in helping others understand the objective of their communication.

Through online web conferencing, you will be able to make sure that the people you want to understand and grasp the import of your message will be able to do so. As you may know, a great part of communication depends on how the receiver perceives a message. By making use of this very versatile piece of technology, you will be able to make sure that you did everything possible to send the message clearly.

This does not mean, however, that online conferencing is perfect. There are actually certain disadvantages faced by people who make use of this technology. The first disadvantage lies in the fact that the technology is still at an early stage of development. Despite the fact that a lot of people today use web conferencing technology casually, there are still a lot of bugs with the system.

Because of the fact that the technology used in an internet meeting is still quite new, people often find that the technology can’t exactly live up to their highest expectations. One example is with video conferencing. Today’s technology allows people to communicate through video. A lot of people expect the experience to be quite similar to actually talking face to face -an idea proliferated by many science fiction movies. However, we haven’t gotten that far yet with technology.

As of today, people still have not found a way of merging the camera and the display which means that you can’t really see eye to eye with whomever you are talking to through the web cam. This can present problems for someone who is used to communicating through eye contact. Online web conferencing just is not the same as actually meeting and talking to someone.

Another disadvantage of web meetings lies in the fact that not many people are proficient enough with the technology to make it practical for common use. This is the reason why a lot of companies still offer online conferencing as a service. Only a few companies have people who can actually set up online web conferences on demand. Others just have to rely on outside help.

When you avail of online web conferencing services, it is always important to make sure that you have technical support to help you out if you have any trouble with the technology. Other than that, you should be able to enjoy the advantages brought to you by the progress of technology.
