As I mentioned in a previous post, I lost all my data from the blog (mostly my fault) so I’m in the process of repopulating my blog. Thankfully I found some of my text files so here’s my first addition to the audioconferencing section!

The benefits of using audio conferencing in your business is something you should consider. You’ve read the articles and see the testimonials of other businesses using this technology however no matter how much you look into it you can’t figure out why conferencing is even something that you can apply in your business. Well if you need different ideas then maybe these examples can help. Consider this one business whose whole model revolves around the conferencing concept. This business started holding weekly conference calls where for one full hour different types of training were conducted. Each call is very specific to the needs of the employee which was determined during the question and answers held after the call as well as follow up email surveys. The calls ended up being very successful and since they were recorded, the company decided to edit the audio calls for privacy and sold the conferencing calls as its own stand alone product to help other businesses to succeed as they have.

Another example is to offer the conferencing call as an added benefit to doing business with you. There are many coaches out there whose lifeblood is the conference call. After attending a very high priced seminar, many of the better programs offer follow up audio conferencing calls to address any concerns their clients may have. They understand that maybe one may not fully grasp the material in such a short period of time so a few weeks later they offer a conference call or a series of them to really help you absorb the material.

A conferencing call can be as simple as just holding one audio meeting a month where you discuss the progress of the company as well as planning timelines and strategies that need to be implemented. The more you implement conferencing in your business, the more ideas as well as the benefits of using it will reveal themselves.
