Every successful business is constantly looking for new and effective ways to cultivate more business. One of the easiest and most economical ways to do this is by employing a conferencing service. Conferencing services have become an indispensable tool for today's businesses, primarily because they give you the power to do more with less.

You're probably already familiar with audio conferencing, web conferencing and video conferencing – it's pretty much all we talk about on this blog. However one term that is not used as often is reservationless conferencing. What exactly is reservationless conferencing? So glad you asked! As its name suggests, reservationless conferencing allows you to bring together participants from multiple locations to conduct a last-minute conference without the need for reservations, operators or time limits.

Reservationless conferencing is more than just a method of communication and collaboration between your branch offices; it also allows you to reach current and potential customers, partners, shareholders, and vendors at your convenience – anywhere, anytime. Sure, you probably won't find the word 'reservationless' in any dictionary, but reservationless conferencing provides many important benefits for businesses, including:

  • Freedom: no time limits, reservations or operators
  • Anytime availability: conduct your conference anytime you wish; whether that's at 12:00am or 12:00pm – or any time in between
  • Increased efficiency: if you hold meetings on a daily/weekly/monthly basis, reservationless conferencing eliminates the need for you to call in every time to schedule meetings. This not only saves you time, but you also avoid the hassle of calling into your provider prior to every meeting
  • Cost and time savings: reservationless conferencing services eliminate the need for expensive business travel and allow your staff to spend less time on the road and more time in-house

Reservationless is ideal for recurring status meetings, project updates, training, crisis management, on-the-fly conferences, etc. Moreover, reservationless conferencing services offered by today's leading providers, such as InterCall® and PGi, offer a comprehensive list of features, including:

  • Private greeting rooms
  • Optional entry and exit tones
  • Listen only mode
