In this age and time when people are getting more mobile, the traditional meeting is a near impossibility. Which is why I feel that conference calls are a godsend. Given the right equipment and proper arrangement, conference calls could even be a better experience compared to meetings.
When arranging conference calls, there are a few key elements which you need to take a look at:
- Location
- Quality of Service
- Number of parties involved
- Cost of implementation
Arranging a conference call requires meticulous planning, not unlike organising a traditional meeting. Each party should already have the meeting minutes beforehand and be prepared to discuss key issues.
As for professional conference call services, there are a few to choose from. Companies in Malaysia could opt to use services provided by TIME dotCom or TM to name a few. Feel free to comment on other companies you know of that provides conference call services.
