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

So, yesterday morning I had an "oh crap!" moment (that's the PG-13
version). You know, when you send out an email blast to 11,000
people and realize that you forgot to review the subject line that
still said "NEEDS TITLE"? Yeah, one of those. Most marketers have
experienced this kind of flub at some point. In fact, I had a few
replies assuring me that they had 'been there, done that' and were
hoping to give me a heads-up so I could potentially catch the rest
that hadn't gone through yet. Y'all...Read More » »

Do you have zombies in your pipeline? You know those opportunities
that have stalled out and are shuffling along or just stopped
moving altogether. They are, for all intents and purposes, lost
deals but the sales rep has usually forgotten to close them out or
has kept them open in a vain attempt to resurrect the deal. As we
all know, the accuracy of a pipeline is only as good as the
analysis to determine if an opportunity truly belongs at a certain
stage. So, how do we combat these “walking dead”... Read More » »

webinar and content marketing questions. Looking for more answers

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 » »

Managing a remote workforce—sometimes hundreds of miles
away—is dependent on outlining procedures and providing direct
communication to your workers. Businesses shy away from telework
for this very reason, and they believe managing a remote workforce
is extremely complex and time-consuming. Luckily, web conferencing
and webinars make the process painless for collaborative meetings
with remote workers and supports open communication with the staff.
Employing remote workers allow businesses to... Read More » »

Last week, I had the opportunity to soak in some great ideas
and advice from content marketing experts at the inaugural Content
Marketing Bootcamp event. Hosted by Eloqua and Kapost, the event
brought together close to 250 B2B marketers who were passionate
about creating, managing, and delivering compelling content
throughout the buying process. Why Content Marketing? Why is
the topic of content marketing so timely? We’ve all heard the CEB
statistic that today’s buyer doesn’t engage with sales...

To my fellow marketers, does this sound like a familiar scenario? I

better way of doing this… Introducing the ReadyTalk for Kapost

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

In today’s increasingly global business atmosphere, leaders are
spending more time than ever collaborating and innovating across
continents. This often requires travel to get key decision makers
in front of each other. At the same time, there is a green business
movement to reduce the carbon footprint in an effort to preserve
natural resources and the earth for future generations. Until the
emergence of web conferencing services, these two factors worked
against each other. Web Conferencing... Read More » »

While webinars are a valuable part of the marketing mix, your
webinar platform is inherently isolated from other critical systems
– CRM, marketing automation, and third-party registration.
This disconnect presents a number of challenges including less
accurate data, more manual work to move data between systems, and
delayed follow up. Good thing many business-critical systems can
now be integrated with webinar platforms to eliminate these errors
and manual tasks. Tune in to this AMA TV episode... Read More » »
