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.

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?
