Conferencing Case Study

• Customer: Large global Pharmaceutical organization.– Our agent had been meeting with a large

pharmaceutical organization on a long distance deal for one of their locations. The deal was estimated at $500/month and they had been working on the proposal with the customer for 3 months.

– On a final appointment they simply asked what they were doing for conference calling. Within 3 weeks we had 150 moderators set up with conferencing and they are currently billing upwards of $15,000/month.

– All the agent did was ask the question, “What are you doing for conferencing?”
