Conference Call with Operator Help

Tags : 

For quick information and rates, visit our Operator Managed Conference Call page here.

Getting a professional operator to help you with an important conference call is easy. Depending on the level of service you’re looking for, trained operators can help by both assisting and managing your conference to insure a successful call that meets your objectives. Calls with operator help are generally high profile conferences that would involve late-breaking corporate and financial reports, important political updates and announcements, and press briefings. Operators can also help with such private conferences involving confidential legal proceedings, business projects and collaborations, and non-profit presentations. Operators can be utilized for both audio conferences and webinars (visual online presentations) and can be retained on a per minute or per hour basis.

Among the various responsibilities an operator can undertake on your behalf include:

— Dialing-out to all your parties and placing them in your conference call.
— Introducing each of your parties when they join the conference.
— Greeting each of your parties who dial-in to the conference and collecting personalized data (name, company, phone, email, etc.)
— Managing and organizing question-and-answer sessions.
— Monitoring your conference and mitigating interference or distracting noises and maintaining quality connections.

Operator help on a conference call is a premium service, and though more costly than a regular conference call where participants dial a toll-free or toll number and enter a passcode to join, conferences that employ operators enjoy several benefits. Obviously, a big challenge in organizing and conducting a conference call involves and attendance and reminding participants about the day and time the call will take place. Despite reminders and notices, many people forget or just get sidetracked with other activities. With an operator’s help, your participants don’t have to remember — they just answer the phone and are placed in the conference. Better yet, having an operator introduce your guests to the other participants only confirms how much you appreciate and value their input.

For investor and shareholder calls, operators can provide a critical service by queuing up questions from financial journalists and reporters, introducing them, and assuring your conference runs smoothly.

International calls are also an ideal application.  Generally speaking, this is how it all works:

1)  You get an account set up at no cost.  (You can click on the Operator Conference link here or at the top of this page.)

2)  Once your account is set up, you will get an email confirmation.  Then, we will call or email you and ask for the names and phone numbers of the people you want us to call to place into the conference.  Also, don’t forget you need to know the exact time you want us to call everyone.

3)  At the appointed time, our experienced and professionally trained operators will dial-out to each of your participants and place them into the conference. It’s that simple.

Moreover, if you need to collect information about each participate — for example, their name, where they are from, and an email address — you can let us know and we can gather that data from them before placing them into your conference. Also, you may want to have a Question & Answer session organized as part of your conference.  When your participants dial *1 (Star+1) they are immediately placed in the question queue and will wait for the operator to open their line so they can ask a question.  Overall, conference calls that have the help of an operator are the most convenient way to collaborate with colleagues and associates.  In fact, the participation in your call will be well attended because no one has to remember to call-in at a certain time.  Your participants just have to answer the phone.  If you are looking to conduct business over the phone, an operator managed call is the way to go.

The value of having an operator help you with your next conference can easily outweigh the extra cost. In fact, many corporations and businesses, along with non-profits and institutions, rely exclusively on operators to support their conference call schedules and programs. 24Conference prides itself on offering you the best trained operator assistance in the nation and we stand ready to help you personalize and customize your next important conference call.   Give us a call at 877-254-2424 to set started.

International Toll Free Conference Call Service

Here’s the most important thing you should know about international toll free conference calling — there is no such thing as one toll free number that works in all countries.

Each country requires a separate toll free number that rings to the conference bridge in the United States.  For example, if you wanted to have associates in France and Britain and Germany on a conference call, you wouldn’t be able to use one number for all three countries.  Rather, you would need to get a different toll free number for each country. Those numbers can be easily obtained using our conference service.

When you order (see International Overseas Conference Call) just let us know what countries your conference guests are from, and we will get those toll free numbers to you.  You can then distribute them to your guests.  So if you have guests in 6 countries, including the U.S., you will get 6 different toll free numbers.  When your guests dial their respective number, they will all be dialing into the same conference bridge.  (There is an exception to the rule — both the U.S. and Canada share the same toll free number.)

There are Internet based services that can connect people around the globe very inexpensively.  However, there are some serious limitations.  For example, you will have to call out to your guests because they can’t call into the conference themselves.  That may not sound like a big deal, however, you will only be able to call cell phones in a limited number of countries.  On the other hand, our service enables everyone, from over 90 countries, to dial-in from their landlines or cell phones — it doesn’t matter.

In addition, there are no monthly fees with our service.  Other services will require you to pay a fee whether you use the service or not.  We can also offer you the benefit of having one of our professional operators dial-out to your guests and place them into the conference for you, which provides the ultimate service and convenience.  You just give us the names and numbers of your guests and the time of your conference, and we’ll do the rest.  We’ll call everyone on your list and your guests only have to answer the phone to participate.  In many instances, it’s actually less expensive to have us dial-out for you, than it is to have your guests dial-in.  That’s because it costs less for outbound U.S. calls than it does for overseas inbound calls to the U.S.

Once you see our rates posted online on our International Conference Call page, you can decide what works best for you.  Overall, international toll free conferencing is a very effective way to collaborate and communicate with your overseas participants.  We stand ready to assist you with our top-rated customer service to make sure that your audio conferences are conducted using the highest quality technology and networks.  We look forward to working with you.  Give us a call at 877-254-2424 or use the Contact Us page to let us know how to help.

How Can I Make a Secure Conference Call?

Would you ever put your credit card  number and expiration date in an email?  Of course not — it can be easily intercepted by viruses which look for and harvest that type of data by software "bots."   And that's exactly the reason why you don't want to conduct a highly confidential conference call on the Internet!  If your phones or conference bridge are VOIP (voice over Internet) based — in other words, if they using the Internet for their connections — you are taking a big risk.  You might be familiar with such phone services that provide very low rates because they use the Internet.  The big cable companies provide these services, mostly bundled with their Internet and television services.  Other services such as Vonage and Skype also use the Internet. In other words, if a virus or malware can hack into your email, it can also hack into your phone call and conference.  There is always a way to beat the system — hackers spend their lives doing it. What's worse is that a number of conference call providers also use Internet based digital conference bridges which pose a similar risk.  Fortunately, we don't use digital bridges. So what's the best way to host or participate in a secured and private conference call? There are several answers: 1) Use analog technology such as wired landline phones that use fiber-optic connections.  Unless there is a physical tapping device on your landline phone, it is virtually impossible for anyone to gain access to your call. 2)  Use a cell phone.  But keep in mind that there are cell phone monitoring devices that can intercept your calls. 3)  Make sure your conference bridge provider places your conference on an analog bridge and not a "SIP" bridge (Session Initiation Protocol), otherwise known as the most common form of Internet communications. 4)  Make sure you keep your passcodes secure.  If you want to change your passcodes, give us a call and we'll be happy to provide new ones at anytime. 5)  You will also receive instructions on how to "lock" your conference by preventing additional people from joining once you know everyone you want to talk to is there. Conference call security and privacy is becoming more important in this day and age, and we're happy to provide the most secure format and settings available.  Give us a call at 877-254-2424 and we can get you set up in no time.

Full Service Conference Call Provides Convenience and Security

There are times when important and high-level conference calls need professional operators to organize, staff and provide necessary security.  Unlike automated  reservationless conferencing, where hosts and participants dial-in to a conference number, full service conferencing is much different because it requires the attention of one or more operators to manage and assist in the preparation and execution of the call. Finding a conference call company that not only has live customer service operators who answer the phone, but also has a contingent of trained operators who can perform dial-out services for you is not easy these days.  Fortunately, we are one of a handful of companies in North America that provide full service conferencing for those clients who require and are seeking top-level value. Call it the "crème de la crème" of conferencing, there are a number of advantages that you can accure from this type of conferencing: In this day and age of hackers who attack databases and privacy, there is a growing concern that conference calls lack security and there are people who are listening in who are not invited or welcomed.  Generally speaking, conference calls are secure, especially if you keep your passcodes in trusted hands.  However,  under circumstances where there is no room for error and zero tolerance, the most secure way to conduct a conference call is to have our operators dial-out to your participants.  That way, you eliminate the use of passcodes, and there is no way anyone other than those we have called, can access the conference.  It would impossible for any outsider to enter the conference. But it's not just about security, it's about convenience as well.  Your participants don't have to keep reminding themselves when to call in, nor do they have to keep track of phone numbers and passcodes.  With our operators dialing-out, your participants only have to answer the phone.  We'll do the rest. There are several other benefits to full service conferencing, including data collection, transcripts and recordings, and translation services.  Overall, you'll find that a professionally staffed conference call can more easily achieve your business, legal, educational or project objectives, when it comes to improving efficiences and collaboration in a safe and secure setting. You can learn more about our service here:  https://www.24conference.com/operator_conference_call

Professionals Use Conference Call Staffed by Live Operator

     While conference calling services have become more automated, there are many calls that still require a live operator to staff, manage and assist the conference hosts.     These conference calls, primarily used by professionals such as attorneys, doctors, high-level corporate and investor executives, still need "high-touch" functions that need the attention of a trained operator.     This premium service provides a number of features and advantages that are not available with regular conference call services, namely:     1)  Operator dial-out:  This is when our operators personally dial each of your conference participants and place them into the conference call.  Depending on your preferences, they can also introduce each caller into the conference.  This service is particularly useful and convenient because your guests don't have to keep reminding themselves about calling into the conference.  They don't have to remember anything — they just answer their phone.     2)  Dial-in to operators:  Rather than operators dialing out to your participants, your participants dial into the conference, but are greeted by live operators, and according to your wishes, the operators can obtain data such as name, company, phone, email, etc.  The operators can then place your participants into the call.  This is a great way to build a database of interested parties or prospects.     3)  Conference Q&A sessions:  A live operator service can be used to organize and manage a question and answer session during your conference.  For example, when introducing a new product or conducting a press conference with reporters.  Participants simply press a number on their keypad and are privately queued behind-the-scenes.  The operator will ask their name and will ask them to wait for their turn to participate in the Q&A and will introduce them to the whole conference at the proper time.     Overall, there are number of reasons why live operators are needed to help with important conference calls.  Whether it's for legal calls between lawyers and judges, corporate calls with investors, professional continuing education programs, or sales calls with prospects, we can staff your conference call with experienced operators who will assist you in managing your call by offering the highest level of customer service.     For more information about operator conference calls or to sign up for the service, click here: https://www.24conference.com/operator_conference_call
