Web Conference like the Fortune 500
With hundreds of web conferencing providers to choose from the task of choosing the right provider can be very confusing. What newcomers to web conferencing need to know is the web conference starts at the invitation that you send. For the most part, the largest companies in your industry are using one of three providers. Most of the other providers are reselling one of the three services and put themselves between you and the actual provider.
Your image starts when you send the invitation.
No matter which industry you are in, the leaders of your industry use one of the top three services and a standard has been set. When you send an invitation you’re letting your industry know whether you are in touch or out of touch with the industry standard. Since most of the smaller web conferencing providers are resellers, the platforms they provide often require software and system checks for the participants, this results in 15%-20% of participants unable to join because they do not have admin rights on the computer they are using. This adds frustration for your participants and can make your business look small and out of touch.
Top 5 tips for choosing the right web conference provider.
1. Make sure the provider has toll free audio for USA and Canada.

3. Provider must have operator assistance available 24/7 for each call.
