When I decided to provide webinars for our clients, I investigated
several web conferencing providers. I selected ReadyTalk because
the prices were the best and you are Denver-based, which I thought
would improve the odds for better customer service. I also have
facilitated webinars for other organizations that used other
providers. My experience with the other providers has provided me
with evidence that I made the right choice with ReadyTalk! Creating
slide shows and delivering a presentation...Read More » »

captivated is one of the hardest obstacles to overcome.

It’s become so common for Twitter users to report live events
through their tweets that there’s now a phrase for it—‘live

other events in order to give followers a taste of what’s going on

to live tweet a webinar in a way that will have people lining up to
attend the next one: Advertise beforehand. Just as the actual

In an Aug. 28, 2012, digitaltrends.com published an article
on smartphone trends. According to the article, smartphones are
expected to account for approximately 54% of global cellphone sales
in 2013. People are increasingly turning to mobile devices to
accomplish the same tasks they could only do on desktop screens
before. One of these tasks is mobile web meetings and online
meetings. Unlike a laptop, a smartphone or tablet is truly mobile.

When I started my career in PR, I spent countless hours on the
phone with clients reviewing press releases. I’d send the latest
press release via email and they’d open it and call me with
changes. Over the phone we’d review changes line by line, each of
us looking at our own versions. We’d hang up, I’d make a few more
edits and send it back. It was a process that was sometimes
repeated two or three times. It was far from productive. Today,
thanks to internet conferencing, reviewing... Read More » »

to act more quickly on that data. It also... Read More » »

Tuesday, September 4, 2012 in More from ReadyTalk
Last year was my first year attending Salesforce's annual
Dreamforce conference. I've been to a lot of BIG conferences and
tradeshows - E3 (in it's glory days), ComicCon, CES, and others.
Taking over entire city blocks, every hotel in the city and
multiple parties every night, nothing is quite like Dreamforce.
There were a few mistakes I made as a Dreamforce newbie that will
be sure not to do this year: Lunch. Last year, I left the
convention center to track down food. The first day I didn't...

Last month, Social Media Today shared an article of best practices
for How to Live Tweet an Event. We all follow someone (or several
someones) who suddenly post 10 times their normal volume because
they are at an industry event or tradeshow. The SMT article has
some great tips about how to do it without annoying your followers
who may not care. We often suggest webinar presenters use social
media during their webinar. While the webinar interface has

Dreamforce is one of the largest technology tradeshows of the year.
It brings 50,000 people to San Francisco for a week of sessions,

salesforce.com administrators, marketing folks (like me),

According to a Frost and Sullivan study, web conferencing
has the highest usage of any other communications tool. This makes
the risks high for IT departments tasked with choosing a
conferencing provider. Few tools and services touch an entire
organization like conferencing. Many of our customers selected
ReadyTalk as their provider after having bad experiences with other
vendors—poor audio quality, unexpected costs, no global support,
etc. Deciding it’s time for new conferencing service is the... Read
