Welcome to FLYers Blog: Fly Conferencing Inaugural Blog Posting
Posted by Kathleen S on Wed, May 06, 2009 @ 12:36 PM
Welcome to the first blog posting of FLYers Blog (of Fly Conferencing). We hope you can visit periodically (even daily) to read our postings on relevant, timely information related to audio and web conferencing services.
We will do our best to provide practical uses of audio & web conferencing, ways to cut down on organizational costs, new services and tools and some basics on conference call etiquette, how to run a better conference call and of course, how to set up a conference call!
For those who are more advance in the ways of conferencing we hope to provide details of innovate uses of conference services such as saving the environment, conducting recruiting sessions and interviews, lowering travel costs and how to continue to service your clients and constituents in this economy without spending a lot of money.
On the topic of spending money; I will start our blog with one brainstorm idea: What does it cost for one overnight business meeting? $500, $1000 or more?
For example:
Airfare: $450, Hotel: $200, Meals: $50, Taxi/Car Rental: $50, Binder/Presentation Materials: $50. Total cost: $800*
One conference call : 60 mins x 4 participants x .05 per minute =
Total Cost: $12.00*
Even if we add all the bells and whistles including web conferencing with recording, personalized greetings etc...60 mins x 4 participants x .14 per minute =
Total Cost: $33.60*
*Pricing & actual costs varies of course*
The question is---was the extra $750 plus really worth it? What was the return on your investment of time and money?
