What’s a greener, cheaper, less exhausting solution to commuting to work every day? Conference calls! The newest trend catching on with businesses, particularly those that fall into the small to medium enterprises bracket, is conference calling.
Most organisations now have a global presence, with employees scattered not only across the country, but the world. Web conference calls help organisations bypass having to pay for their employees’ air or train transport and provide a means for them to brainstorm and share ideas with each other and their bosses in a work-like environment without having to travel.
It doesn’t stop there. Some of the more bizarre jobs virtual personal assistants have admitted to having taken on include talking to their clients’ parents on their behalf and reading bed time stories to children. Some also offer daily telephone reminders, weather updates and wake-up calls. There are two much less trivial and more important times to be using a virtual personal assistant.

It’s just the sort of credibility that could prove the quality and professionalism of your product and your company.
Services such as web conference calls are seeing a rise in demand as the market for them emerges. As such this means that these service providers, the conference call companies, now cater to businesses by offering better quality in terms of customer support, connectivity – all at cheap, affordable prices.
