The Kiplinger Business Report recently stated, "In less tumultuous times, companies have looked at outsourcing as a way to improve a business: Let an experienced vendor handle and improve particular business tasks so the firm can focus on its core functions.  But in a recession, when companies are frantically trying to reduce costs, they turn to outside contractors to save money, pure and simple.

"Today's outsourcing deals are intensely, singularly concerned with reducing head count and saving money -- the sooner, the better," write Morrison & Foerster attorneys Vivian Hanson and Gordon Milner. "In an environment where Fortune 500 companies have disappeared overnight, a successfully executed outsourcing deal could make a difference in a company's ability to ride out these challenging times."

So the questions you have to ask yourself is simply, "Why is our company spending a fortune on conference call hardware and technology when we aren't in the conference call business?  Shouldn't we be outsourcing this to save on overheads cost and put our focus on our core business?

Once you answer those questions, give us a call and we'll show you how you can reduce expenditures substantially.  Outsourcing conferencing is the fastest and easiest way to see immediate savings -- and heaven knows, companies these days need all the help they can get.

Say you are a law office that is interested in having a conference call.  Chances are, you'll want to have the other law firm in the case pay their own conference call expenses, while you pay yours -- each firm billing their client separately for the cost of the depositions or other legal proceedings.  Well, you're in luck!  We can bill all or some of the conference participants individually, whatever works for you.  This service is tremendously convenient and saves a huge amount of time trying to parcel out the bills privately.  Moreover, billing is direct and there's no need to worry about getting reimbursed by the other law firm.  Legal conferencing is becoming a substantial part of our business and this is just one more reason why using our services is becoming so popular in the legal community.  Give us a call and we can talk about how we can help you.

Sometimes we have customers who call us who want to accommodate a large conference call for 200 or more people.  Well, if those people are on the phone for 2 hours, that adds up to 24,000 conference minutes -- something that could end up being quite expensive if you look at it from per minute point of view.  (24,000 minutes X 7 cents per minute = $1680.)  But not to worry.  There is a much more inexpensive alternative for big conference calls.  With our flat rate service, you can have 200 person conference and talk as long as you want all month for only $375.  You've saved over a grand, you have the service available 24/7, and there is no limit to how long you can talk.  So give us a call anytime, tell us what you need, and we'll provide you the best money saving ideas and options you have.  Quality, value, and service -- the three reasons why our conference call services are rated the best in the industry.

We hear that all the time.  When prospects call us to find out about our phone conference call services, we'll talk specifically about their needs and estimate what their costs will be.  More often than not, when we tell them their anticipated costs, they are taken aback and proudly tell us how much we've just saved them.  Sometimes it's a few dollars a month, other times it's over $10,000 a year.  Just this morning, someone called who was a volunteer for a non-profit organization was looking for a toll free solution that would enable her board of directors to meet over the phone -- saving time and travel costs.  She was using another conferencing service and was thrilled to find out that she just saved about $1000 a year of money the organization desperately needed to use for other purposes.  That's a phone conversation that everyone leaves with a smile on their face.  How much can we save you with your phone conference calls?
