Many large companies have
reported that using conference calling has saved them millions in travel
and other expenses. Conference calling is has quickly become as
ubiqitious as business itself. Although very large companies may have
their own conference calling abilities, most small and mid-size
businesses do not. As a result, a variety of conference calling
companies have made these services available. Most conference calling
services offer a variety of flexible options in the set-up of the
conference call, and generally provide a toll free number and a dial-in
pass code. These are then provided to participants in the conference
call so they can connect. Most conference calling services are able to
be set-up without the need to make a reservation ahead of time.
Conference calling ability not only adds professionalism to your
business, but is also designed to improve productivity by reducing the
amount of time it takes for groups of people to communicate. Conference
calls can also save on travel expenses, allowing distant groups to more
easily collaborate. Conference calling services are generally reasonably
priced, with both pre-paid, and by the minute rates. When determining
which conference call service to use, be sure to shop around, as overall
rates may vary greatly.
