I sat down to write about how conference calls help manage your way around the crazy busy world we live in and guess what? I got interrupted, had to handle multiple emergencies and yes, attend several conference calls. So, it is certainly not a cure for the crazy busy lifestyle I am so familiar with but it certainly helps. Conference calls simply provide a way to get more done in the same amount of time. If I couldn’t attend those conference calls, I would have had to get in my car and drive, along with all the other participants to the office and find an open conference room, and have our discussion there. That is bad enough that I have to spend the time commuting and the expense to get there, but then I would be in a location where I am limited in what I can do. In my case I would have encountered the other emergency that happened to come up and I would have had to get back in my car and travel back to my home office again. Again wasting time travelling, etc.
So, instead opf taking up all this time traveling I was able to jump on a conference call from wherever I am at the time, thanks to cell phones, take part in a productive meeting, simply hang up my phone and immediately return to the task I was on before the meeting, deal with the emergency, etc. And I think that while we take many of these modern day marvels fro granted, the conference call is as important to helping us manage our busy lives as many of the other conveniences we now take for granted. Cell phones are great but you can’t meet with ten people at the same time without the conference call. The ability to carry around your email box on a handheld device is super, but after you get an email saying that you need to meet on a particular topic it would do you no good if you had to drop everything and come back to the office to meet instead of just jumping on a conference call.
Maybe you appreciate the conveniences that help you manage your busy world, maybe you feel like you can’t escape from them, but one thing is for certain, conference calls help us manage today’s busy world. www.zipconferencing.com
