Audio
Conferencing
= Live Teleconferencing Services
+ "Virtual Town Hall Meeting"
In
follow-up to our past communication, I am
sending this basic information and preliminary
pricing on our Teleconferencing Services for
your consideration as an additional tool to use
in your communications arsenal.
This
is an example of but one of our many types of
call services.
This
is a cutting edge program that allows you
to totally manage and control all aspects of a
live telephone conference program, at very
reasonable cost.
It
is a comprehensive, very easy to learn and use,
operator-friendly web accessed system.
Why
Audio conferencing?
This
is a state-of-the-art communications
tool allowing for comprehensive proactive
delivery and response
solutions for business, government, non-profit
and political groups worldwide.
Here
are just a few advantages of Tele-Forum
solutions:
1.
Participant Monitoring/Control. Tele-Forum
allows
the
user to view, codify, and monitor callers to
help clients
better prepare for and manage their
teleconference meetings.
2.
Private Screening. Tele-Forum has the exclusive
capability
for
the facilitator to conduct a private
conversation with a
participant to screen their question, allowing
the speaker
to
view the queued participant’s name and question
before
selecting them to participate.
3.
Live Q&A. Constituents can participate in a live
group
discussion with the Host (presenter, elected
official, candidate,
etc.) with a simple push of a button. Employees
can ask
questions about a new product launch,
disseminating
information company-wide from one delivery
point.
4.
Digital Recording. Shortly after the conference
is
completed, Tele-Forum sends to the user a
condensed
MP3
wave file of the entire session. The user can
quickly
pull
sound bytes or other summary information from
the
file
and instantly post it on the web, send as a mass
email
communication, or release it to the media.
5.
Real-time Reporting. Because Tele-Forum operates
on
a
web-based platform, we can deliver clients the
detailed
information they need, when they need it.
Imagine being
able
to send out a personalized post-conference
follow-up
based on actual participation!
6.
Technical Assistance. Our highly qualified and
well trained
customer service representatives are there to
assist the host
group all the way.
7.
Real-Time Polling. Host can pose questions to
all the
listeners and have them respond by touching the
appropriate touch tone key pad on their phone.

This is an
example of one of our many specialty phone
services. A Fully Secure Web Based Live
Mass-Teleconferencing System. Perhaps you may
find it - by adding your own variations, a
useful tool to add to your arsenal.
Parameters:
Conduct a
conference call with up to a thousand employees,
customers, prospects, constituents, etc., in
attendance, with full control of the process and
participation.
Everybody can
hear equally well, and can opt-in anytime to
request to participate in the mass-discussion or
can be moved to sub-conferences.
The Host and other participants can be located
just about anywhere! Imagine conducting a
virtual town hall meeting with three-thousand
people from your office, hotel room, etc.
Anywhere with web access! Tie it in with a live
radio or TV broadcast!
Now more than ever, businesses and campaigns are
turning to Tele-Forum to deliver specific,
time-sensitive information to their audiences,
and engage in productive, real-time exchanges -
capturing their views and responses.
Getting a
disparate list of people together for a meeting
can be challenging—and expensive. Imagine
getting all your interested parties together on
one phone line, where they can all hear the same
message and participate in an interactive
meeting, and brainstorm or learn of new
directions; that’s the difference with
Tele-Forum.
Tele-Forum is
also the perfect follow-up companion to
direct-mail fund-raising, and even allows
participants to donate on the spot.
Using secure
web-based technology, Tele-Forum helps campaigns
reach their constituents; allows businesses to
connect with their shareholders; and lets
corporations meet with their national sales
teams.
All with a
totally integrated customized automated message
invitation and live on-demand teleconferencing,
and reporting system.
Many of our clients use Tele-Forum to conduct:
-
Virtual town hall
meetings
-
Live, interactive Q&A
sessions
-
Multi-site employee work
sessions
-
Investor relations
meetings
How Does
Tele-Forum Work?
Tele-Forum’s
unique, data-gathering web based system sends a
customized invitation to a target audience, and
allows interested parties to instantly transfer
to the live tele-conference that is in-session.
The system records the entire meeting and
produces detailed reports.
A typical
Tele-Forum conference flow:
NOTE: Prior to
the phone call invitations going out, some form
of notice would be sent to prospective
participants by the Host Group - say by email,
direct mail, etc.
-
At the time of the
conference the Host Group sends out a
specific, customized message notifying
the prospective participants that the
teleconference is in-progress.
-
Invited participants
opt-in to the on-going presentation of
the Host.
-
Audience members then
choose to actively participate in the
discussion with the touch of their phone
keypad.
-
The host can then field
the call and everybody on the line will
be able to listen in.
-
Alternately, one of the
host’s assistants can pre-screen the
call, assign a priority or other code to
the caller’s screen ID, and even enter
text on the screen explaining the
callers question or other notes of
interest.
-
Sub-groups can readily be
formed to take on different subjects and
handle them with side-conversations and
even conduct transactions.
-
The Host Group retains
complete control of every participant,
even during the live Q&A.
-
The Host Group can see a
real-time view into conference activity.
-
You can even email a web
link so that people can listen to a
streaming version.
-
A complete summary
report, and a recording of the entire
event, is provided to the Host Group at
the conclusion of the conference.
