There are so many cool services out there that will make your small business run like a big business. And like Internet fax technology, they’re very inexpensive. Did you know that you can get free conference calling? Gene Marks, in his article at Businessweek.com, points out this great service to check out.
He does clarify that they you do have to pay for the actual call. If you’re going to have a 10 hour convo with a vendor in Moscow, that could get spendy. But conferencing others into that call is free. You can have you’re whole company on that one call for nothing. For some of you, that might only be two people working out of a basement. Which is what this technology is for–small businesses that don’t have a lot of extra money to spend on office supplies and services.
How exactly does this work? Marks explains:
“Once you sign up on this Web site (no credit card needed) you get assigned a unique conference code and a regular phone number to call. Mine starts with 712, which I’m told is in Idaho. Who cares? I pay for my call only. Everyone else calls the same number and uses the conference code I give them.”
Sounds like a great service worth checking out.
