Small business conference call services are our bread and butter.  We're a small business that is geared to cater to companies with 250 or fewer employees.  Since we're a small business as well, we believe we understand the needs of our clients very well.  Do we serve large accounts too?  Oh yes.  But the vast majority of our customers are small to medium size organizations that like using our many services such as Flat Rate teleconferencing, pay as you go and operator assisted plans.

If you are small business and looking for new conferencing services, or want to get a quote or bid to make sure you aren't overpaying for the service you presently have, give us a call and let us know how we can help.  We can offer you a number of options and that will fit your particular needs, all within you budget.  In fact, why don't you get a free trial account and find out first hand how things work -- with no obligation or cost.  Can't beat that!

For flat rate teleconferencing (also known as fixed rate conference calling) we bill on a calendar month.  Since there are no long term contracts, we have a month to month billing cycle and charge your credit card on the 25th of the month for the next month's usage.  For example, we would bill you on May 25 for the service you receive in June.

If you are a new customer we charge you for a full month of service from the 1st to the 15th of the month.  Or, we charge you for half a month if you sign up between the 16th and 26th.  If you open your account during the last four days of the month, you get those days for free, and we bill you for the next month's service.

Once we bill your credit card, you'll receive a hard copy receipt in the mail.  Suffice it to say, once you're in the system and things get rolling, the whole thing is very convenient and routine.  Just the way we hope you like it!

Outsourcing conference call services is usually much less expensive than buying inhouse conference hardware and bridges.  Mind you, we offer both.  But over the years, we've found that more often than not, getting the conference service is the way to go.  Just this past week, we had a call from a customer who wanted a new piece of conference hardware to integrate into his phone system.  It wasn't a big job -- only 15 lines -- but when he added up the costs and found out it would cost between $8-12,000, not counting the monthly line charges, it was time to take another look at his options.  We presented our flat rate teleconference service to him which costs $60 a month for unlimited usage.  He figured out he could use the service for 200 months (in other words, 16 years!) before he broke even with the new hardware.  The concept of outsourcing your conference services is like buying a time share.  Why buy a beautiful place on the ocean if you're only going to be there a month or two a year?  It's better to share the ownership with others, reduce your costs substantially, and continue enjoying the same view.  With outsourced conferencing services it's even better because you get unlimited, reservationless, 24/7 service.  It's as good as owning all the hardware.  Not only that, but as technology changes you aren't stuck with obsolete systems -- you're always using the latest and greatest available without additional cost.  So, add up the numbers yourself and see where you stand.  We can help you regardless of which way you want to go.

We would be happy to provide a quote for your business conferencing services.  Just give us a call at 877-254-2424 with your specifications and we can submit a proposal quickly.  There are few things you want to remember in preparing your specs.  First, the conferencing business is constantly changing and there are new programs that you may not be familiar with that you might want to incorporate.  So just because you have configured your conferencing one way, doesn't mean that you wouldn't greatly benefit from doing it another way.  Be flexible, be open and talk to your prospective vendors and ask them what they would do if under the same set of circumstances.  There's more than one way to skin a cat, and your final solution may be a hybrid of conferencing methods that best meet your needs and budget.  Secondly, have a good idea of how many minutes of conferencing you use every month.  Third, do your best of projecting future needs.  For example, will you using more international conferencing in the future?  Will your need for toll free conferencing be increasing if long distance costs will be decreasing?  And fourth, will be looking for conferencing solutions across the enterprise or just in one or a few divisions?  With competition what it is these days, it never hurts to rebid your business conferencing services on an annual or regular basis.  You might be pleasantly surprised to find out that conferencing program can be improved while cutting costs at the same time.  We look forward to hearing from you.  

We now offer conference call services with a local New York City (NYC) dial-in number, so you don't have to call long distance to access the conference bridge.  Not only is this a tremendous convenience but will save NYC business and non-profits a small fortune in conferencing costs.  With a NYC dial-in conference number, folks from anywhere in the world can call in, but with the added benefit of the NYC callers having a local number.  With the flat rate teleconference service available, you can now have unlimited usage and talk as long as you want, anytime you want, for one low flat monthly fee.  Setting up an conference account is easy.  Just click here to get started and be sure to say in the comments box at the bottom right that you want the NYC call in number.

Conference bridge services are available with several options that fit your needs and budget.  We have several conference bridges throughout the United States, including New York City.  Once you set up an account, you are assigned a conference bridge and provided a phone number and passcodes to access it at any time.  The beauty of getting a conference call service is that you avoid all the costs associated with buying and maintaining the actual conference bridge hardware, which can be very expensive.  Our most popular option is flat rate teleconferencing which provides you unlimited usage 24/7 for one low fixed rate a month.  You can host phone conferences at anytime and talk as long as you want.  The passcodes you receive are yours and you don't need any reservations.  Our next popular option is our Pay As You Go conferencing that enables you to have 24/7 conferencing based on usage and per minute pricing.  If you don't use the service, you aren't charged.  Yes, we do buy and sell and rent conference bridge hardware and equipment, but unless you are an extremely large user, we recommend that you stick with getting the service.  It's much more inexpensive, convenient and provides you with the future flexibility you'll want as business conditions change.

Operator conference calls are both professional and convenient.  Do you have a big conference call coming up where you need to have professional operators on the line to organize and manage the call?  That's called operator assisted teleconferencing, or a conference call with operators.  Our operators can  either call out and get your participants on the call, or they can answer the calls coming in and get the names of the participants and introduce them to the conference.  They can do polling as well.  You'll find our operators the best trained and most accommodating in the conference call industry today, and we always look forward to serving your needs.  Put them to work and see what kind of impression you can make with your customers, prospects and associates.
