If you are a coach or another professional who uses teleseminars as a part of delivering content to your customers, you know what a hassle it is to use those free bridge lines from Mr. Conference and others like them.
On the one hand they are free, which is a very good price. On the other hand the quality of the lines and the phone calls often leaves much to be desired, which makes you, as the professional, look pretty bad in front of your clients or potential clients.
The paid bridge lines are often not much better. There are still many technical difficulties and you just learn to be red in the face a little bit, apologize and try to deliver to your participants the best of your content anyway.
Some of the newer services allow teleconferencing and simultaneous listening to a webcast, for those people who don’t want to make a phone call. Plus they allow questions to be posted through a chat interface during the live call. This is actually pretty cool, if your audience would rather listen to your live call on the internet and interact with you by chat. Although the quality of the phone lines on these services still leaves a little bit to be desired.
And now there’s a new player on the teleconferencing block which I am pretty exited about. I have heard about them now three times. I have a rule that if something comes up three times it must be checked out.
I was already exited about this service, as I participated in a call using it, but I did not look at it because I figured the prices would be out of reach for me as an average business owner. When I finally went and looked at their site today I was pleasantly surprised – the prices are fairly competitive and I think well worth the service.
Here’s what I love about this teleconference service: As a group leader you can see who raises their hand to speak, call on them by name and have a public conversation with them. You can also break the call up into small private groups and virtually “walk” through the groups listening to what’s being said to get a sense for what’s happening on the call. Lastly people can show interest in your products and services by pressing certain keys on their phone keypad. Their name, email address and phone number are captured for later contact, while the call is undisturbed.
I know you can see how these features will enhance your effectiveness on your teleconference calls as well as your effort to more effectively market your products and services.
But don’t take my word for it, go check them out yourself. They have a free trial. And don’t forget to tell me what you think.

If you have ever shopped at a health food store, such as Whole Foods, neighborhood health food store, or the health-food section of your supermarket, you know vitamins, homeopathics, tinctures and natural body stuff – sunscreen, soaps and lotions – are very pricey!
I am always on the lookout for new – and cheaper – business resources. I just ran across something that I must share with you immediately!
If you haven’t noticed I have been MIA for about two months now. I haven’t blogged much, haven’t twitted much, and generally have just been gone. What have I been up to? EFT!
Are you one of these people who gets a great parking space every time you want one, or who gets a phone call from a person you’ve been thinking about? Are you someone who’s good at getting the trains or busses to come just when you need one, or getting people to help you when you need help?

Health is something you are lucky to have and weight management is something you have to work hard for, right? People’s bodies inevitably show signs of age with wrinkling, sagging, loss of vision and hearing, etc. Our bodies are machines that wear out with time and sometimes break and there not much we can do about it. Disease is inevitable and all we can do is hope medicine has the cure.
