What is a conference call?

Modern businesses have offices and branches not only all over the country but even all over the globe. In such a scenario, travelling expenses can form a major chunk of total business expenses. Where cost cutting is the order of the day, many multinational businesses have adopted teleconferencing as the most effective tool for communication between different employees, stakeholders and customers.

A conference call is no different from a regular phone call, except that there are three or more persons connected with this kind of call. The persons may be physically thousands of miles apart, but telephone conferencing helps them to effectively communicate and co-ordinate between themselves. Teleconferencing lines are available 24/7 and so there is no need to wait in matters that require urgent communication. It only requires good network support and a simple phone.

Conference call services are useful not only for business meetings, but also interviews and social calls. If you want to conduct an interview over the telephone, you can make use of the teleconferencing services provided by reputed companies.

These days more and more companies are relying on conference calls to find the right candidate. This is especially relevant in a global economy where the candidate with the right skill sets could be located anywhere in the world.

Conference calling is not just for business users

Businesses have always used conference calls as one of the most cost effective means of communicating with employees, customers and business partners who are spread all over the world. And they do that without even stepping out of the office. This saves a lot of time and money on travel and accommodation, especially if the people you need to communicate with on a regular basis are not based out of your local office.

Call conferencing is used extensively to gather members of a project team to get daily updates, immediate feedback about a businesses decision etc. Through a voice conference, miscommunication is eliminated because all delegates can be present at the meeting. There is no dilution in communication as is expected when someone relays the information or even when it is read from a written summary.
