Four principles guide ReadyTalk employees in building and providing great service.
Hosting a webinar shouldn’t be rocket science. Audio and web conferences aren’t brain surgery. And, customer care doesn’t include a system of beeps and prompts. It should be user friendly, reliable and supported by a team of professionals, which is exactly what we deliver.
We understand your needs so you can focus on the substance of your conference and not the technology.
Our services are user friendly, reliable and supported by a team of professionals, which is exactly what we deliver.
From small virtual meetings to large web events, ReadyTalk provides audio and web conferencing services that are affordable and easy to use, so you can focus on the substance of the meeting, not the technology behind it. And, when you do call us with a question, afterwards we want you to hang up the phone and say, “Wow, that was good customer service” and tell someone else.
In 2001, a fearless and persistent team of entrepreneurs set out to build a great audio and web conferencing technology company. We wanted to build a company that we would all be extremely proud of – one that succeeded in the market because of great products and remarkable customer service. We felt that if we could succeed at this, impassioned customer referrals would follow and our continued growth would be assured. When we began our journey, we were guided by a number of principles. These principles are as true today as they were when we started:
