Conference Calls
Learn How Conference Calling Can Seal
The Deal
by Alan Jason Smith
In today's business environment, companies that excel
embrace the global dynamics of an international market
with conference calling. The international market opens
doors in many countries for increased competition, increased
business, and increased profit. The international market
has affected foreign policy, and continues to be a key
point to success for many companies across the board.
Larger markets and target groups increase potential clients.
These increases provide room for growth, and please investors
with the potential for wracking up the dollar signs.
While an international market allows for increased sales
and a broader target group, international markets can
also increase costs and burden. International markets
require significant travel budgets, communication budgets,
and increased attention to cultural differences. Companies
who work across a single nation as well as with many countries
must be familiar with local customs, and must embrace
business traditions that may vary across borders.
Business dealings that occur in person present a particular
challenge. Deals that require more than once staff member
increase travel budget exponentially. As more office members
become involved in an international transaction, the travel
plans can become more complicated and the bottom line
benefits of the deal are lessened with the expenditure.
Conference calling to close the big deal offers an attractive
solution to the mayhem that is traveling to meetings,
and does so at a considerable advantage to both parties.
Conference calling provides a mechanism for meeting with
many people in many places across the globe. With a conference
call meeting, no one has to pack. There are not expense
forms to fill out with a conference call. Because a conference
call is not in person, business men can concentrate on
the business at hand and not on which handshake or form
of eye contact is more acceptable. Conference calls reduce
travel costs because participants can take the conference
call at their personal desk.
Conference calls can be crucial to sealing the deal even
when they involve only members from one side of a deal.
Conference calls are en effective way to disseminate information
across a corporation quickly. Conference calls packages
that allow for calls without reservation and at any hour
of the day afford companies instant access to all members
of their team. This means that company personnel assets
in one place can also positively impact company actions
in another region.
Conference calls to seal the big deal also offer some
unique services. Operator-assisted conference calls ensure
quality communication for all parties involved. Operators
can be available for only the onset of the call, or can
stay online for the duration of the call. Operators monitor
the quality of the call, and ensure that all participants
have a clear connection and can hear what is being said.
Operators can record conversations held during a conference
call, providing a record for all interactions during the
call.
Conference calls can be beneficial for large-scale important
meetings, as well as smaller meetings. Confernce calling
occurs regardless of the weather, and can be an effective
substitute for personal meetings when inclement weather
arises. Conference calls provide increased opportunities
for emplyeees at one job site to communicate with employees
at another job site. This inexpensive method of communication
increases the avenues of communication and opens new doors
to coporate communication. Foreign deals, intercompany
meetings, and other opportunities to interact that were
once neglected due to travel costs can now be successfully
completed with conference calling. When closing the big
deal, companies can utilize all of their best players
at a fraction of the cost with conference calling.
