There is an alternative – Conference Calls. A conference call is when three or more people in different locations talk on the phone at the same time. Using this method of communication allows you to speak with colleagues and associates in different locations without the need to travel to meetings, thereby managing your time better and reducing your effect on the environment.
So how can you make a conference call? There are a number of companies offering this service to businesses, so first of all search on-line to find a conference call provider. Make sure the provider you choose has the features you require. In most cases to use the service all you need to do is register with a service provider and they will allocate you with a ‘personal meeting room number’. Registration is usually free of charge and generally does not involve any obligation to use the service.
Once registered you are able to make conference calls whenever you need to. Simply dial into the service, enter your personal meeting room number and invite your colleagues to do the same. You should only be charged for the cost of the phone call at the rate set by your provider, however check the terms and conditions of the service before you register.
