Conducting Online Meetings with Calliflower Conference Calling

Calliflower

In today's borderless world mobility is no longer a competitive advantage, but rather an essential business pillar. Mobility allows businesses to have quick online collaborations between themselves, and their customers. It's critical for organizations to empower their employees with both, the tools and capabilities, to conduct business decisions on the go, while keeping communication channels open and accessible throughout the whole process.

Calliflower allows anyone to conduct simple, yet powerful online meetings without the headaches that traditional conference calls may give you. This is what CATA's President, John Reid, said about Calliflower's usability:

"We particularly like the Calliflower interface— it's an easy to use, interactive dashboard that makes organizing and participating in multiparty calls simple and engaging with a richer call management feature set than our traditional paid service."

To create an online meeting in Calliflower, select the date, time, and agenda for your meeting, and then select the call's participants from your address book. Calliflower will send each participant a notification email, which includes the date & time, their personal PIN, as well as instructions on how to participate. Participants can RSVP to the call, automatically adding it to Outlook and other calendar applications. In addition, Calliflower makes sure that people don't forget to dial-in, and Calliflower sends a call reminder 15 minutes before the call starts.

Calliflower conference call participants can post documents before, during, and after the call. Take advantage of this feature, and make your meetings more productive by providing information beforehand. You can also enter into the collaboration mode, where you let your coworkers provide their input on the documents shown, in the form of text boxes or highlighters. This is exactly how Calliflower can make your meetings more collaborative, thus enhancing the interaction and productivity that your team experiences.

Calliflower also gives you full control of your online meetings. As the moderator, you have the ability to mute and unmute participants, either individually or as a group, and you can even remove unwanted participants from the call. Your participants have the ability to raise their hands without interrupting the ongoing conversations in order to indicate that they would like to speak. Also, the integrated chat wall allows you and your participants to exchange information with each other in a discreet fashion.

Lastly, recording online meetings is always a good idea, as it gives you a fresh reminder of the discussion. With Calliflower, you won't have to juggle between note taking and paying attention to the ongoing meeting. Calliflower lets you record your conversations, and stores them for immediate download.

Calliflower calls are simple and provide you with enough flexibility to create the meetings your own way without needing to be a tech-savvy person.
