I remember reading an interview with a cyclist after he had achieved a record haul of three gold medals at the last Olympics. He was asked what made the winning difference. His response was that he could not point to one major change or improvement he had made to his bike; rather the success was down to lots and lots of smaller changes. I think of GlobalMeet as a bit like that – its greatness is the sum of all the little ways in which it improves your meeting experience.

Over the last 7 years, I have worked on European and Global project teams. Online meetings have been an integral part of doing my job. However, it was not until I tried GlobalMeet that I realised how the right conferencing tool could be something which I could use to do my job better, as opposed to simply doing my job. GlobalMeet does so many things better than other conferencing tools.

Take the GlobalMeet Outlook Toolbar; I spend approximately 60% of my time at work in Outlook, so the Outlook toolbar from which I can schedule web or audio meetings that go straight into my Outlook calendar, is a dream come true. From this toolbar, I can also instantly start web meetings. One click and my web meeting room is launched, two clicks and I have initiated the meeting dialing out to me – that’s it! Two clicks and I have am ready to start!!

Another thing I have noticed since I moved to GlobalMeet is the wonderful absence of those lost five minutes at the start of meetings where someone did not have a dial-in number or passcode and emails would be flying to try and get everyone into the meeting. With GlobalMeet, the meeting invites are generated with all the meeting information you need always included. What’s even better is that with the ‘Join Meeting Now’ button within the invitation, the attendee doesn’t even need to dial-in to the meeting. They simply click the button, enter the meeting room and they will be able to simply enter their phone number for the meeting to call them. No more passcodes, no access numbers!!

GlobalMeet makes my online meetings better; it takes the pain out of organizing and running them and for me has changed my perspective on just how powerful the right conferencing tool can be. Try it today for free to see what I am talking about.
