This is part II of yesterday's post on the topic of creating and
delivering content that goes beyond your slide deck to inspire
viewers. The component for success that we'll address today is the
medium. The Medium is your channel for conveying the content, so
it's important to choose a means by which the audience can get the
most out of the material. Here are a few things to consider: How
big is your audience? What kind of venue will the audience be in?

ReadyTalk has been taking participant's name and phone number and
calling them to join them into an audio and web conference for a
while now. If you are unfamiliar with our 'Call Me' feature
you need to try it out because it will improve your participants'
experience. So you are probably asking two important
questions right now: How do I get it? It is available
with ReadyTalk Scheduler for Outlook. How does it
work? When an invitation is created in Outlook using the

A few months ago, we told you about Feature Frag. This
three day innovation challenge provided our engineering team the
ability to design products that would enhance the ReadyTalk product
base. While all the projects were pretty sweet, there were a
handful that made it to the ReadyTalk service…a few of which we
will explain in a series of posts. A big kudos to all participants
for their time and energy, and stay tuned for future product news!

Face-to-face interaction is no longer required for a
businesses to succeed in this day and age. In fact, more and
more businesses are moving away from the traditional office setting
and outsourcing their work to remote workers in other cities,
states and countries. Telecommuting is one of the most cost
effective ways to grow a business; and despite many misnomers,
telecommuting doesn’t disconnect a worker from the office.
Many businesses are using helpful communication methods to

Learning to leverage new technologies is one of the
intangibles that enables one business to survive while another
flounders. One of the latest tech advances that is separating the
risers from those falling flat is the ability to hire and maintain
remote workers. Being able to hire people from across the country
and across the globe makes it possible to hire the perfect
candidate for a position regardless of the physical location. This
allows businesses to create the most effective staff...Read More »

very effective and efficient. There are of course drawbacks to
holding a web conference. Keeping the audience engaged and

Effective communication has never been easier for small businesses.
Web conferencing is no longer the sole domain of chatty teenagers,
large companies and corporations. Small businesses are jumping into

reason. In the U.S. alone, small businesses account for 64
percent of the work force and technology does not intend to
slow itself down. The days of brick-and-mortar office work and

American companies are not alone when comes to solving the
enigma that is a productive meeting. In Europe, companies lost $41
billion (or $26 billion pounds) in 2011 through wasted time in

daydream. Meetings last too long and happen too
often. Meetings equal time and money, so when you have them,

Meetings are meant to be opportunities for people to come
together and work collaboratively, but they aren’t always so

communication, engagement or all of the above. Web conferencing
services are the ideal solution to these issues. Here are a few
reasons why: Everyone Can Join Virtual workforces are all well and
good, but it's hard to get a team together in one meeting room if

Reliable customer support is important. And it’s more than just
having a question or needing to troubleshoot. When choosing a
conferencing provider, consider their customer service. Save your
organization time and valuable IT resources, by selecting a
provider who values this as much as they value their product.
Reliable customer support is comprised of a number of things. A

Let’s face it. If you’re a speaker for a webinar, you probably
don’t have time to learn the conferencing platform on which you’ll
be presenting. And often, all the features that you’ll learn
on a technical tour just aren’t applicable. What you need to know,
and quickly, are the bare bones basics: how to push slides, how to
manage chats, and how to share your desktop or applications. You
probably will not need to know the more advanced features, as
someone will either be doing those for you, or... Read More » »

The use of web conferencing tools can support improved
communication and collaboration within work teams, no matter the
project size and scope. Webinars and virtual meetings provide a
secure space in which to share information and ideas, while
simultaneously increasing team member accountability and project
success. Yet, too few corporate meeting organizers understand the
true power of virtual team collaborating using webinars. To help
your team make the most of web conferencing services, here... Read

When your car breaks down and you’re stranded, who is the first
person you call? Would you rather call your flaky friend or the
reliable friend who will drop everything and come and help?
Regardless of context, reliability has the same meaning. When
vetting the strength of a conferencing provider, especially from
the IT perspective, reliability is one of the most important
factors in the decision making process. You’d want the
reliable friend versus the flaky friend! The whitepaper, “Six
