New website and logo coming soon

We’re in the process of building a new messageimpact.com website and should have it online within the next 15 to 30 days. You’ll see improved layout, more content and a much easier to navigate site. I’ll be looking forward to any of your comments on this once it’s up and live.

Not only will we have a completely new website look and feel, but we’re also in the process of getting a new logo for Message Impact. We would also like to hear your comments on the new logo once completed. LogoWorks is doing the design for us. So far it’s been a rather lengthy process with Logo Works and their customer service seems very inconsistent. I will comment more on this once the logo is complete. If you’ve used Logoworks or any other logo design company before please feel free to post your comments.

Double your teleconferencing results

Did you know that we only retain 20% of what we hear? Kind of disappointing when you think of the kind of money, time and effort that you can put into organizing and conducting a conference call. Not only your valuable time, but the valuable time of your customers, prospects or employees.

Also we only retain about 20% of what we see. But when we see and hear something together our retention level increases to over 50% retention. If you want to increase retention levels even further simply add participation or interaction into this equation. Now you have retention levels well above 50%.

By adding Web conferencing or collaboration to your regular teleconference calls you can over double the results you currently get. Try adding some polling questions in your Web conference or ask one of your participants to show you what they mean on a white board or by sharing out their desktop. With the conference polls it becomes quite easy to see who is really paying attention because you as the moderator can see who’s answering the polls or not.

If you’re already using teleconferencing it may well be worth a test to see if you can improve your desired results. these results will vary depending on who your audience is and what your subject might be. Now it’s just a matter of finding out the right Web conferencing or collaboration tool that’ll work for you and your participants.
