<h1>Taking Your Business Global Today</h1><br /> <P>We are working and developing our businesses in a global economy.  So what are you doing to take your business global today and thrive?  Your website reaches a worldwide audience.  Your ezine goes everywhere.  Your blog enjoys an international readership.  But your teleconferences have probably suffered somewhat in the attempt to reach beyond the shores of your own continent due to the prohibitive costs of long distance telephone calls for individual users.</P><br /> <P>Until the advent of web conferencing that is.</P><br /> <P>The use of an internet based conference room removes all of the geographical boundaries and (long distance charges) that a typical telephone bridge line involves.  Users all over the globe can participate in and enjoy the live presentation and interactivity. </P><br /> <P>Some web conference participants are willing to change their sleep patterns to participate in virtual presentations hosted in another time zone.  To encourage global involvement in your web conferences, be sure to provide times in GMT as well as US time zones. </P><br /> <P>You can also consider offering repeating the web conference 12 hours later for those on the other side of the world to enjoy during their regular waking hours.  </P><br /> <P>Another way that web conferencing excels over simple teleconference technology is that it allows presenters to make use of visual tools.  Conference rooms move easily between full interaction modes where users can freely interact by text chat or microphones; and hard presentation modes where the presenter is in full control of everything that the users see and hear.  </P><br /> <P>Many conference tools even allow for simple desktop sharing functions.  You can use this to demonstrate software, or teach the group how to do something with your products.  Participants see everything you do on your computer just the way that you see it.  Imagine the possibilities for training international representatives to provide support locally.</P><br /> <P>If you’re really serious about expanding your business into other countries, web conferencing gives you a tool to reach out to and develop relationships with other business owners in the country you want to reach.<BR>Your conference room becomes more than a presentation hall for big events; you can also use it as a virtual office to meet with potential partners, investors and clients.</P><br /> <P>Developing a profitable relationship takes an investment in time and to truly succeed requires a harvest of trust.  The more time you can spend with your leads and potential partners, the greater your chance of success.  The cost of having your own web conference room available to you 24 hours a day will seem like pocket change when compared to the cost of just a few international telephone conference calls.</P><br /> <P>Whatever your global business aspirations are, web conferencing can help you take your business global today faster and with fewer costs and complications</P><br /> <p>About the author:<br /><br /> Lynette Chandler helps small business owners communicate with their customers through web conferencing.

<h1>Company Holiday Party – How To Throw One Virtually</h1><br /> <p>The holidays are upon us once again and for many of us, that means company holiday party time.

<h1>Streaming Your Teleseminar Audio Online</h1><p>Because teleseminars cost money for participants to attend, one way to help bring more people into a call is to create a streaming audio of your teleseminar over the Internet. Unfortunately, most methods of streaming audio over the Internet are expensive and difficult to setup.</p><br /> <p>The good news is, there’s a creative way you can now broadcast a streaming audio of your teleseminar affordably, and securely. How?</p><br /> <p>Get a web conference room. Web conference rooms vary a lot from company to company. To stream your teleseminar you’d want to look for a few specifics:</p><br /> <p>Streaming audio quality. While every technology is not perfect — even telephones have a lot of annoying beeps and static — many web conferencing services today have little problem with streaming audio. Often, issues with audio come from user inexperience or computer settings but this can easily be remedied with a little bit of help documentation and education.</p><br /> <p>Next, get a room that’ll give you flexible or good number of number of seats. You’ll want this because it’s often difficult to anticipate number of participants.</p><br /> <p>Flat rate web conferencing. This will be a challenge to find because most web conference rooms sell by number of seats or per minute or both but there are companies who sell a monthly flat rate.</p><br /> <p>Don’t get distracted with the rest of the services like video if you’re only looking for streaming audio. Video and other related tools have the tendency to bog down the system because of the huge amounts of bandwidth required to transmit. The point is, it shouldn’t be a major factor in your consideration unless you plan to transition to web conferencing and reduce the use of the telephone bridge.</p><br /> <p>Once you’ve narrowed down the web conferencing service provider of choice, you’ll need a key piece of equipment that’ll pipe your telephone audio into the computer and vice versa. One of the best we’ve seen is the Dynametric TMP 636 or TMP 636S. Simply, hook it up and you’re ready to broadcast streaming audio of your teleseminar online.</p><br /> <p>Why go through all that trouble when you can find a web conferencing service who has built in telephone and streaming audio capabilities? That’s a good question but you’ll have to be the judge. Consider the cost for these integrated phone and streaming audio solutions. They will naturally cost more but beyond dollar amount, are there any limitations? Compare them with the cost of your existing teleconference call line, your (preferably fixed rate) web conferencing plan and the one time telephone patch. </p><br /> <p>One last pointer, consider how often you conduct teleseminars and the number of people attending as these are the biggest variables affecting cost. As a rule of thumb, if you don’t conduct that many teleseminars or you have less people calling in, it’ll work out better to have an integrated solution.</p><br /> <p>Lynette Chandler helps entrepreneurs recognize and apply the power of technology and its trends to their marketing.

<h1>Reasons To Stream Your Teleseminar Online</h1><br /> <p>While attending a seminar series which was also streamed live online, I noticed the number of online participants versus the number of phone in participants was on average double if not more. One day, the seminar was held only on the phone. Participant rates dropped to an all time low. The next week we got back on both telephone and live streaming online, total number of participants rose. A simplistic observation but it is clear, given the choice people like to join a seminar session online.</p><br /> <p><b>Conference calls can be expensive.</b><br /><br /> Many teleconference services charge by the number of people and duration of the call. So if you have 15 people on a call together for 60 minutes at a rate of 4.5¢ per minute per participant, you’ll be paying $40.50 per session. May not sound like a lot but remember, if any of those variables change, your cost changes too.</p><br /> <p><b>Go global.</b><br /><br /> No matter where they are, if someone has an Internet connection, they can ‘tune in’ without the hefty cost. I’ve lived inside and outside the U.S. and believe me, no matter how great the information is, it is rare for someone to dial into a teleseminar with a U.S. number because the cost is too much and this sentiment is shared by others. For a great many people in the world, long distance is very expensive. No doubt, they are lower today than they were 5 even 10 years ago but it’s still not as affordable as dialing out of the U.S.</p><br /> <p><b>When’s the last time you dialed International?</b><br /><br /> Simple as a telephone is, many people do not know how to dial International. A lot of times they also have to go out of the home to purchase a calling card from a store. These are all barriers to attending your teleseminar call. If you’re already selling online, your customers undoubtedly have access to a computer with Internet connection. By streaming your audio (or video), you eliminate those barriers.</p><br /> <p><b>Who are they going to call?</b><br /><br /> Even within North America where long distance is very affordable, people still choose to spend their money wisely. In any given week, there are several teleseminars going on. If people choose to call in to several seminars, it could add up to a small fortune at the end of the month.</p><br /> <p>This doesn’t mean teleseminars do not work. They work very well indeed and have a great track record. But the world we know is changing; so are people’s preferences. And the technology available today makes streaming content and web conferencing easy and affordable. So if you could reach a few more people by streaming it online or adding a web conference component to your teleseminar, why wouldn’t you?</p><br /> <p>Lynette Chandler helps entrepreneurs recognize and apply the power of technology and its trends to their marketing.

<h1>Need Leads? You Should Hold A Webinar</h1><br /> <p>Seminars are a proven lead generation technique. With the Internet, seminars are less costly to organize and people can attend right from their home or office.</p><br /> <p><b>What Is A Webinar?</b><br /><br /> Webinars (also called web seminars) are conference calls delivered primarily through the Internet using a web conferencing service. Participants log in to the seminar through a web page or software provided by the host. When participants successfully join the call, they can hear the speakers, converse with them and others in the room through a microphone attached to their computers, view slides, web pages, video of the speakers and even a virtual white board.</p><br /> <p><b>Webinars Work</b><br /><br /> Studies have shown that webinars can create more leads than traditional methods* and prospects prefer these events because there is less pressure than a traditional in person meeting.</p><br /> <p>Webinars on the other hand, are often arranged for a large group of people and prospects can attend anonymously if they wish. They can enter and leave the seminar whenever they choose, gather information, learn, digest and decide on their own time.</p><br /> <p><b>What Kind of Webinars Can You Hold?</b><br /><br /> There are many ways. If you want to spread the work load, hold one with multiple speakers. You also benefit from the power of group promotion. </p><br /> <p>For more targetted events, you could do different angles for different dates or different market. For example, if you sell candles, you could do “Don’t settle for musk during spring cleaning, Bring spring into your home” webinar or, if you sell time management software, you could do “Time management for Realtors”, “Time management for students”, “Time management for busy moms” webinar and so on.</p><br /> <p><b>List Building</b><br /><br /> This is the reason you’re holding a seminar right? Get the contact. Set up a page to collect names and contact, at the very least an email address so you can follow up with them again.</p><br /> <p><b>Maximize Your Efforts</b><br /><br /> Record your webinar. Many web conferencing software used for webinars have recording and takes little to no extra effort to do. For example, MeetingOnNow’s webinar software comes included with a record button and it saves your recording into the popular MP3 format. You can use the recording as bonuses, give aways or packaged with other material to create a new product. </p><br /> <p>*Source: Unearthing the True Value of Web Seminars and On-Line Events, Wainhouse Research - Andy Nilssen, Andrew Davis http://www.webconferencingworks.com/white-papers.html</p><br /> <p>About the author:<br /> Lynette Chandler helps entreprenuers leverage web conferencing technology for their marketing.
