GoToMeeting

Let's face it; reality is not having all of your clients in the same geography and not having all your employees under one roof. In this industry, we are certainly movers and shakers. We pencil in meetings because of our hectic schedules. We fall victim to weather, flight schedules, and the fact that there are only 24 hours in a day. It's simple; there aren't enough of us to get everything we must accomplish done quick enough! <<Cue the cheesy super-hero music>> GoToMeeting is an online service that provides many small and large businesses with the ability to hold meetings over the Internet, maximize productivity, lower travel costs and save time.

GoToMeeting's mantra: Do More. Travel Less. Enjoy the freedom of online meetings.

Demonstrate, present, and collaborate on the go, or from the comfort of your personal PC or MAC. The service allows functions such as client meetings, sales presentations, or project updating to be done from anywhere at anytime both securely and reliably.

We know that we are all too busy to sit around and waste time on something that isn't user friendly, affordable, and serves no purpose. Once set-up with an account, share a meeting link by email or instant message and voila, you have officially invited others to join your online meeting. Attendees have the choice of participating via phone conference or using their computer's microphone and speakers.

Attendees see what you show. Choose to show the entire screen, or only the specifics. Interact on the screen using tools such as a pen, highlighter, arrow and spotlight. Unlike an actual meeting where Mr. Know it all or Chatty Cathy won't keep their mouths shut, GoToMeeting allows the host the power to mute individuals or the group collectively, and the ability to transfer keyboard and mouse control.

Obviously, businesses have different needs. This is a service that appeals to both large and small businesses. The most affordable plan allows up to 15 people per meeting for $49 per month. For this cost, you are allowed to hold as many meetings a month as you want for however long they may take. GoToMeeting is even available for iPad users. Currently, the app only works for attending a meeting, not hosting one.

There is only one thing better than affordable and that is FREE! GoToMeeting offers a free 30 day trial. The free trial can be cancelled at any time if you are not interested and your account will expire when the trial ends. If you do not however cancel your free trial, you will automatically be subscribed at the monthly plan price upon free trial completion.
