Company Overview

My company will focus on the sale of engagement services, primarily the Virtual Town Hall. This technology turns the phone system into your personal talk-radio broadcast. The system dials out and connects online to hundreds, thousands or hundreds of thousands of people at one time across any geographic area. You can reach your most important stakeholders in the comfort of their own home, overcoming many traditional barriers to engagement, such as transportation, childcare, domestic duties, weather and many more.

As each person connects, they hear a brief recorded message from your organization and then they are placed into the event. Everyone who joins is muted, but they can raise their had to ask a question (by pressing *3 on their keypad). They are then routed to a screener who takes their question and enters it into a dashboard that is then visible by moderators working on the event. You are then able to select the questions you want to go live from the questions queue.
