CEO Blog: Associations

Conference Coach Alycia — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:30:26 +0000

Carolyn Bradfield

It’s amazing to think about the number of associations around the country. For just about every professional group, for every trade, for every cause, you will find an association. Associations are quite helpful for their members because they provide information about the industry or membership, training, advocacy, events and access to resources.

Associations are usually divided into management teams, committees or member organizations. Getting these groups together to discuss their objectives and agenda is often managed over conference calling. To give you a good example of how associations function, I’d like to go inside one of our customers operation – a bar association for a major city. Even though the members are all contained within the city, managing schedules and fighting traffic makes live meetings hard, so conferencing is used to get these groups together on a regular basis.

This particular association has an executive director and a management team that run the overall association. This team meets monthly to discuss budget, initiatives, strategies to increase membership and strategies to serve their membership with valuable services.

Because the practice of law is specialized, this association is divided into “sections”, each of which is devoted to a specific practice of the law such as litigation, commercial real estate, or family law. Members of these sections meet via conference call quarterly to discuss issues affecting their particular practice of the law and to develop strategies to offer Continuing Legal Education for their particular specialty.

The association also has a number of committees. Committees are usually formed around a specific event or issue. For example, a number of committees exist to run charitable events and raise money for causes. Additionally, this association is politically active, discussing their positions on tort reform and governmental regulations.

Each section and committee has a budget that is set by the association management team and conferencing expenses must be tracked back to the committee or section. Conference call moderators can input a billing code into the system at the time of the call that will show up on the invoice. Using the Connect To Copper customer portal, administrators can look at conference call usage reports and add their billing codes prior to the conferencing invoice being delivered. This makes it easy to separate expense and meet budget requirements.

Conferencing makes meetings, trainings, and committee activity logistically possible and affordable. Webinars are also used to offer informational and training sessions for the membership creating further value for the association. It’s hard to imagine how associations would function without this communications tool.

Becoming a Webinar Guru is Easy – I Did It and You Can Too

Conference Coach Amanda — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:29:25 +0000

I am a webinar guru. However, six months ago I could not have told you what a webinar was or how to leverage a webinar in a business setting.

Working for Copper Conferencing has opened my eyes to just how easy, fun and valuable webinars can be. First, let’s define webinar. Simply put, a webinar is a “web-based seminar.” Webinars come in different shapes and sizes. Some are formal and some are informal. Some have 10 attendees and some have 200 attendees.

Whatever shape webinars take, they are a great way to market, care for customers or keep your company on the same page. Let’s look at how different business departments might use a web conferencing service.

Marketing
I work in the marketing department at Copper Conferencing. Hosting webinars is a weekly occurrence in our department. We can’t get enough of them. We LOVE them! For marketing, a webinar is a great lead generation tool. For example, we created the Business Webinar Series. We solicited the speakers, promoted the events and moderated the webinar. The speakers were able to reach more attendees by using web conferencing which resulted in many new leads. Participants were able to learn new business skills and ideas while never having to leave their office. And Copper Conferencing was able to showcase web conferencing services in a very real and practical setting.

You could use webinars to promote a product, sell a service or increase general awareness of your business.

Customer Service
Customer Service is all about maintaining the relationship. Hosting a webinar is a great way to reach many customers at one time or provide individualized interaction. Our customer service department uses web conferencing almost daily.

For example, a customer service department could host a monthly “Ask the Expert” webinar. This webinar could include new product releases, product updates or current technical issues and a question and answer session at the end. Showing customers you care about their concerns is important. Take it a step further and use webinars as your platform.

Human Resources
Web Conferencing is a tool that HR departments need to use. Human Resources could also use webinars for new-hire training, product knowledge seminars or company-wide safely and regulation meetings.

For example, the hiring process is perfect for webinars. We used web conferencing to hire our web designer who lived out of state. With video streaming technology, the interview process was just as good as meeting face-to-face.

Become a Webinar Guru Too!
Becoming a webinar guru is easy. If I did, you can too! You just need the right tools to do it. Check out Copper Conferencing web conferencing services at www.copperconferencing.com/services/web-conferencing.
