The event manager allows ReadyTalk’s customers to schedule an event in advance, collect registrations from prospective attendees, and send customized invitation emails, track registration and attendance, as well as conduct post-event surveys all as a complimentary part of their existing conferencing service. This gives ReadyTalk a competitive advantage as related by Dan King, CEO of ReadyTalk:

“At ReadyTalk, we focus on building products that are simple and streamlined allowing our customers to be successful in their work. Including the event manager as part of our core offering is a natural extension of this philosophy. Our customers have continued to request tools that let them better conduct their formal events, and we feel that the Event Manager is a simple way to give them the enhanced capabilities they’ve requested.”

DENVER, CO., October 31, 2007 - ReadyTalk, recently ranked number 102 on Deloitte’s 2007 Technology Fast 500 and 3rd on their Technology Fast 50 in Colorado, has introduced an easy-to-use podcasting tool for businesses. Customers can now easily record conferences, edit the recordings and distribute these web and audio recordings as podcasts. This service is unique from other providers because both the audio and visual content can be downloaded to a laptop, iPod or any other device that supports MP3 or MP4 playback. With one click employees, customers or partners can subscribe to a podcast and watch conference content anytime and anywhere. It’s a great way for businesses to increase their marketing reach and make sure everyone in their company stays connected. Best of all, this podcasting tool is free to ReadyTalk’s customers.

First to market with this powerful platform, ReadyTalk already has clients giving it high praise. Courtney Milliken, a Franchise Development Manager with PRstore shares, “This allows us to reach out to prospects in a much greater, broader way.” Milliken highlights the fact that they can affordably and easily conduct trainings, make announcements and roll out new products. She adds, “The visual component is really important. Just having audio is sometimes limiting, you just can see what someone is talking about.” With stores all over the country, Milliken believes support is what helps businesses thrive. “We constantly need to be in touch with franchise owners and having such a portable product is a great way to make sure everyone’s connected and getting all the latest information to help them run their businesses successfully.”

For some companies, it’s not a matter of if they need to start using podcasting, but when. While companies try to maintain a competitive edge, they look to technology to give them a leg up. Industry PR giant Edelman released a survey of businesses which showed a surprising 35% of companies using podcasts, while Marketing Sherpa’s Business Technology Buyers Survey cited 78% of business technology buyers have listened to technology-related podcasts more than once. In addition, the common mantra in business is ” save time, save money”, and early-adopters of ReadyTalk’s podcasting solution will see the immediate savings in both areas when deploying the technology - they’ll be presenting to their sales teams, clients and potential investors and issuing press releases, all from a desktop or laptop, directly to their targets in every corner of the world.

Helping clients connect better with their employees and their customers, ReadyTalk’s podcasting tool allows for more effective communication, no matter the size or location of a business.

DENVER, Colo. September 26, 2007 ReadyTalk, a company dedicated to providing the absolute best customer experience for high-impact web seminars and everyday collaboration and conferencing, has been named to the Denver Business Journal’s (DBJ) 2007 list of the Fastest Growing Denver-Area Private Companies in the medium-sized companies category. This adds another honor to the company’s 2007 achievements as it also was recently ranked number one on the list of the Best Companies to Work for in Colorado in the small/medium-sized companies category.

The Fastest Growing Denver-Area Private Companies list was compiled based on participating companies’ annual revenues from 2004-2006. ReadyTalk experienced 147 percent growth during that time period which placed them 15th on the list of the top 25 fastest-growing medium sized companies in the Denver area.

“Our employees work very hard to ensure that we continue to deliver the best possible experience for our customers,” said Dan King, CEO of ReadyTalk. “It’s great to be recognized in this way and to be counted among other companies who are focused on building and maintaining growth-oriented, yet sustainable businesses.”

ReadyTalk has achieved such spectacular growth by focusing on large online events; an often overlooked segment of the marketplace. Large online events, or webinars, require a higher degree of service and expertise than most companies are willing to provide. By catering to this segment with a dedicated event staff and an upcoming product release, ReadyTalk has been able to distinguish itself within a crowded market.

This year, the DBJ’s Fastest Growing Denver-Area Private Companies list awarded small, medium and large fastest-growing companies. Size was determined by looking at a company’s 2006 revenues and deciding on a median number of all companies responding to the survey. Companies with less than $3.3 million revenue were considered in the small-company category; between $3.3 million and $11.48 million were medium companies; and the large companies had revenue of more than $11.48 million.To be eligible for consideration, companies’ headquarters must be maintained in one of the following Colorado counties: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson.

The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Colorado State Council, six local SHRM chapters in Colorado, Jobing.com, Colorado Biz Magazine and the Best Companies Group honored the 30 Best Companies to Work for in Colorado for 2007 during an awards ceremony at the Belmar Center in Lakewood, Colo. on July 31.

“It is both gratifying and validating to receive this recognition,” said Dan King, CEO of ReadyTalk. “Our company strives to build lasting relationships with our customers by delivering to them effective collaboration tools and services that are backed by outstanding support. Our ability to do this starts with hiring talented and committed employees and creating a work environment that enables them to fulfill their potential.”

The Best Companies to Work for in Colorado recognizes participants in two different categories in Colorado: small/medium-sized companies (25-249 employees) and large-sized employers (250 employees or more).

Through established research practices, a survey was sent to both employers and employees in a large and diverse pool of companies across Colorado. The Best Companies group, in coordination with ModernThink, LLC scored the workplace practices survey along with the employee survey using a formula similar to, but not identical to, Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work for in America.�?

-To be eligible for consideration, companies had to meet the following criteria:
-Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business
-Be a publicly or privately held business
-Have a facility in the state of Colorado
-Have a minimum of 25 employees in the state of Colorado
