Comparing Internet Conference Call Products and Services
Maybe you are doing your own first Internet conference call or you have held a lot of online conferences, you need to do some comparison shopping. Otherwise, the consequences may be less than what you wanted. The following are a couple of tips to help you compare.
Initially, you want to evaluate the costs and the value. To some companies, cost is the most important point. Some others know that the cost of an Internet conference call is really a lot lower than hosting a traditional live seminar. Irregardless of how much they pay, they save money.
Even if price is a serious issue for your business, you should still think about the value of the service. Some services are free to the organizer, but these providers have very little to offer. Some suppliers cost more, but they also include guides to help novices learn how to use the services and make the most suitable presentations conceivable.
You also have to think about your clients, customers or personnel. Do you want them to bear the cost of the calls?
When you select one of the free services, each of the participants will have a fee billed to their telephone bill. The fees vary from 2-10 cents per minute.
If you happen to pick a service that provides a 1-800 number, your participants pay nothing to hear what you have to say. Only the organizer pays for the Internet conference call service.
Which service to opt for depends a lot on what genuinely want to accomplish. When there is a lot of new information to talk about with your employees, you don’t want them to have to pay to hear it. On the other hand, if the participants are your equals or the down-line of your MLM, they’re able to afford to cover a part of your costs.
Considering that there will be a per-minute charge for just about any Internet conference call, you need to do a little planning to keep your costs to a minimum. Assuming you are the speaker, you should take note of what you plan to say and practice.
This will give you an idea of how long the main part of the presentation will last. It’s a smart idea to record your practice sessions and listen to what you are saying. Are you making your point?
You should also consider what questions your participants will have and how long it will take to answer those questions. Some of the more advanced services offer the option of including online scripts with frequently asked questions that you participants can access during or after the presentation. That’s a time saving tool as well.
In fact, some service providers offer a number of free tools that will help you keep your costs down. The main thing to remember is to compare all of your options before you choose an Internet conference call service provider . It’s the only way to be sure you are getting the best value for your money.
An Internet conference or teleseminar, combining a traditional conference call with a Power Point presentation, allows you to run Q&A, share handouts, and record the slides and audio together for future playback, is 60 times more effective than a website. If you’re a good marketer, you might get people to spend 60 seconds with you on your website. But they’ll spend 60 MINUTES or more with you on a teleseminar or webinar. If you want to be even more successful in the future than you are today, an Internet conference call will make it easy for your prospects to buy from you, to answer your customers questions in person, and to convert your first level buyers into key accounts. It is more human, intimate, and interactive than a website, which gives you the chance to build trust. And all things being equal, people buy from folks they trust.
