It’s 2012. Everyone typically has great intentions this time
of the year in putting foot to pavement and nailing down some
concrete resolutions; things they really want to get done over the
next year. I’ve been thinking a lot about this in the context of my
current role at ReadyTalk and the roles of those who surround me.
One of my resolutions is for personal improvement. Professional
growth, and getting better at “your craft” is one thing that is
constantly on my mind. With my team, I'm... Read More » »

By Jill Konrath, author of SNAP Selling & Selling to Big
Companies Don't you just hate it when hot prospects suddenly stop
returning your call? It's especially hard to deal with when
they'd been so eager to move forward with you only weeks before. At
first, you assume their lack of responsiveness is an isolated
situation that will quickly self-correct. But after repeated failed
attempts to connect, you start to question your own sanity. You
could have sworn they were interested, but their... Read More » »

Recently one of our software engineers approached me and asked
about the possibility of ReadyTalk helping sponsor the local Global
Day of Coderetreat being held at Uncubed, a local downtown Denver
co-work space. I had never heard of this event so I did some
reading up on it and in the end it was absolutely something I
wanted ReadyTalk Engineering to be a part of. If you are unfamiliar
with this event, it has a very grassroots feeling based on how it
came to be. Corey Haines and a few... Read More » »

As Katie mentioned in her most recent blog, ReadyTalk Engineering
just held labs a few weeks back. It’s a time for our audio and web
conferencing engineers to explore their passions and expand their
knowledge and skill set. However, what wasn’t mentioned is my
favorite part…The Awards ceremony! When the day is finally winding
down and everyone is sipping on a nice cold brewskie, everyone from
engineering puts their votes in for 3 separate categories. First
off is Most Evil Genius - This is the... Read More » »

On Saturday, October 29th, employees of ReadyTalk, including
myself, had the pleasure of attending the second annual Rocky
Mountain Product Marketing Camp at the Tivoli Center in Denver.
While the lack of traditional camping activities had
initially made me question my bringing a guitar and S'more
ingredients, the long list of collaborative
and educational sessions focused on Product Management and
Product Marketing made the one-day camp a worthwhile experience.
With 13 sessions (including the... Read More » »

ReadyTalk recently revamped the company website. It took
hours of research and planning and expertise from all types to
develop a user friendly site that portrayed the corporate brand and
the way we deliver service and support to our clients. A new
website like this is not for the faint of heart. Whether you are
doing a major overhaul or a touch up to your site, we highly
recommend starting with the upcoming AMA Virtual Xchange to learn
about building brand into your website. AMA’s Virtual... Read More

ReadyTalk has made significant enhancements to our application and
desktop sharing feature. If you are not familiar with this feature,
it can be used to share your entire desktop or specific
applications with everyone in your web meeting. Sometimes
application and desktop sharing may appear slow and blocky in the
participant view of a web meeting. We have made significant
advancements in the way we deliver this content to eliminate this
blocky effect for participants. Instead of painting the... Read

The employees of ReadyTalk were recently challenged by Dan King,
the CEO, to come up with a corporate vision. The format of this
vision is supposed to be an article, written sometime in the future
10 or 20 years from now, about ReadyTalk as a company. We were
tasked with doing this within our respective teams; to craft this
visionary article and bring it back to the table and present it.
The idea is then to combine the best of all these visionary
articles into one, ultimate article. One article...Read More » »

Just like Halloween, putting on a webinar can be scary. There are
lots of variables and many things can go wrong. Here are a few
reasons people are nervous to host webinars and ways to tackle
those fears: 5. Mastering the Technology: Technology can be
intimidating especially when your presentation depends on it. While
ReadyTalk’s webinar tools are easy to use and designed to eliminate
this concern, we still recommend that conference organizers and
their speakers do a full dry run prior to the... Read More » »

This week, we rolled out some new hold music on ReadyTalk's audio
conferencing bridges. You would think choosing the perfect hold
music would be an easy task. Just pick the music that fades
into the background, annoys people the least, and sounds
neutral...right? That's not always the case. Picking hold music is
tough. There are limitations around music available to us. There's
a world of musical tastes, general annoyance around being on hold
in general - the decision of what hold music to choose... Read More

Today's post is contributed by Nario Young, who works in the
accounting and HR department at ReadyTalk. ReadyTalk is a company
that has built a culture that is warm and welcoming to new
employees. We care about employees and want them to fit in right
from the beginning. But for new employees, it can be
a challenging task to learn the names and faces of
existing employees. And, because ReadyTalk is growing so quickly,
it can be hard for old timers to get to know new employees. We
needed an... Read More » »

Social media is here to stay. And it keeps. On. Growing. The three
major players, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, continue to garner

often conduct large webinars on a regular basis for several
purposes, such as online training, new product launches, and most
often, lead generation and qualification. This is where
social media and webinars marry, since our customers are constantly
