What can you get for $99?

How about 1000 participants on a conference? How about 1000 participants on a conference every day for a month?

It’s true. The Conference Group has introduced a 1000-seat user license with a suggested retail price of $99 per month. Conference hosts will enjoy all that ReadyShow® Web has to offer, including slide pushing, application sharing, chatting, polling, and even video streaming of the host… all for a flat monthly fee of $99 per month. Audio bridging charges are additional and options range from reservationless access to dedicated full-time operator assisted service, depending on the size of the event and level of support desired.

With this plan, your client would save just over $3,500 each month if they conducted 1 weekly, 60-minute, 100 participant conference and paid on a per minute basis, at a suggested retail price of $0.15 per minute. I did the math twice to make sure since the savings was so drastic…

If you have been looking for something to “go back to the well” with… this is it!

For more information on ReadyShow® Web, or to set up a demo of the service, contact us on 877-716-8255 or

Integrity

When sitting down to come up with a topic for this week’s installment of our blog, several product features came to mind, but the one concept that kept overshadowing the latest and greatest conference calling features is a simple, but universal concept… Integrity.

Just moments ago, I finished a telephone meeting with an esteemed colleague on our latest marketing campaign to appeal to current and new agents. He confirmed my hunch that today’s agents need to trust their vendors implicitly, as we are their lifeline to their livelihood… their commission!

Rather than put the concept of Integrity to the side while I wrote this blog entry, I decided to embrace it…

As we all know, competition is fierce, price compression is a reality and ethical conduct can be tested in a challenging economic climate. It is during these very times that relying on the most basic of values proves to be invaluable. “Integrity”, according to Encarta is “the quality of possessing and steadfastly adhering to high moral principles or professional standards”. This is what you want… what you NEED from those with whom you choose to do business.

Everyday, we are faced with business decisions relating to current or prospective business opportunities. How do we make these decisions? Simple… we do what is right. While there are many roads that can be taken in a decision process, more often than not, there is a right way of doing business, and one that, well… not so much.

One thing that you can be sure of when working with the Conference Group is how we do business. We invariably opt for the “high road”. There is simply no substitute for integrity. Those who know us know that I am speaking from experience. For those that just know of us, we welcome the opportunity to work with you to help you build your conferencing business.

Conference Viewer available for Full-Time Operator Calls

Of course you know all about the Cadillac of conferencing services… the full-time operator service. But, here we offer a twist… or actually more of an enhancement…

With Conference Viewer, the conference host is able to view the Q&A queue during a full-time operator call in real time… and even have the ability to manipulate the queue by changing the order of participants in the queue, or removing them from the queue. This added service gives our customers more control while still maintaining a professional operator-facilitated Q&A session.

What does this beautiful hood ornament of features add to the cost of the Cadillac? Nada. This is included in the cost of the full-time operator service. Tell all of your friends (or even better… clients) about the Conference Group’s Conference Viewer and start taking orders.

You have a $50.00 demo account!

"Try it…you’ll like it!” Remember that famous tag line? For the life of me I cannot recall the product that went along with this slogan in the 1970’s ad campaign, but it kept ringing in my head as I was thinking about the latest installment of our blog…

The Conference Group gives you, our agent, one of our most valued resources, the ability to use our services at no cost. Each month, we credit up to $50 toward any of our services including audio conferencing, ReadyShow® Web, or ReadyShow® Video.

We encourage you to take us up on our offer and use this credit to demo our services, or even offer a free trial (obviously up to the $50 credit amount) to your prospects to seal the deal. This will give them the ability to experience the quality of our bridging service for themselves. We are sure that once they try us, they will like us!

OK… I couldn’t take it, so I Googled the slogan and what did it reveal? Alka-Seltzer! Having used the stuff myself countless times since the 70’s, I dare say that you will like our service even more!
