Operator Assisted Conference Calling requires well-trained operators who organize and manage conference calls for large organizations each and every day of the week. They must be highly qualified and able to manage complicated premium conference calls without any issues for the client.
If you ever have a large volume conference call with 100’s of participants, conference calling companies like CIA Omnigage have live operators that are trained to assist you every step of the process. With a live operator at your disposal, a company will have confidence that conference call with run smoothly.
Before every call, a live operator meets with the assigned chairperson(s) to go over all vital information that requires discussion prior to the conference call. A business can choose between Dial-In/Dial-Out calls or Dial-In Only calls, wherein participants will dial into the conference or a live operator can dial out to specified participants at the scheduled start time. The live operator will give a customized introduction and discuss the details of the conference call. Lastly, the live operators will monitor the sound quality and make sure everything is operating the way it should be.
At the end of a call, a company can request a participant list and a recording of the conference call to share with anyone you want.
Benefits of Operator Assisted Conference Calls
Access to an Active Participant List
Live Operators collect information from each participant on an operator-assisted conference call. This allows clients to track who participated on the call and also acts as a detailed reference for future conference calls.
Premium Tools For Q & A Sessions
During a Q & A session, the live operator managing the call has the option to unmute and introduce participants who may have a question.
Control Over Approved Participant
On many conference calls, privacy and security with operator-assisted conference calls could be a critical factor. Live Operators have control over participant callers based on if they were invited to the conference call or not.
Custom Introductions by Live Operator
The live operator can read a custom introduction at the start of each call, which may convey the chairperson(s) name, as well as a description of what the conference call will be about.

Blast Voicemail from Client Instant Access offers a reliable solution to the challenge of blood shortages
Nearly 12 million units of blood are used every year, and the lives of 4.5 million Americans depend on these transfusions. No matter what the circumstance, whether it is open-heart surgery, a serious laceration, or a large scale emergency, hospitals are always in need of units of blood. A steady supply of donations is critical and individual donors are the key factor to ensure the blood supply is full and ready for any contingency.
However, of the 115 million people who are eligible to donate blood in the United States, only 6.8 million actually do so, often leaving blood banks, hospitals, and medical personnel to scramble to keep up with demand. Client Instant Access (CIA) offers a reliable way to facilitate the process of soliciting blood donors to help maintain the blood supply. With CIA’s Blast Voicemail, blood banks, hospitals, and other health care facilities can quickly and efficiently inform a contact list of registered donors that blood is needed.
The contact list for blood donors can be culled from many sources: blood drives, the Red Cross, and other health care organizations. Donors have the option to opt-in to be alerted during a critical blood shortage, an upcoming blood drive, or a need for their specific blood type. This contact list can easily be organized by blood type and/or availability within the Blast Voicemail platform. Blast Voicemail’s high success rate also makes it certain that most donors will know about the blood shortage.
The efficiency of Blast Voicemail can lead to a higher volume of blood in the system at any given time. Blast Voicemail can get the message of blood shortages to potential donors as well. Of the over 100 million people who are non-donors, 17% said they “never thought about” giving blood. Blast Voicemail can reach out to this population using any contact list created from any source. Users can customize a message for this critical need.

Client Instant Access is your most important telecommunications partner
How can Client Instant Access (CIA) make a typical day in the life of an analyst simpler and more productive? With a suite of products designed to tackle all of your telecommunications needs, CIA is a valuable partner to boost your efficiency, cut costs, and streamline your processes.
Meet Sara, a busy research analyst with insight into a stock that she needs to share with a specific contact list of 500 people. CIA’s Blast Voicemail service allows her to easily send out a customized voicemail detailing the information. Sara simply records her message, selects her contact list and hits send. If she was using the premium service, her contacts could receive this blast first thing in the morning in their voicemail. It’s that simple.
On the blast, Sara scheduled a conference call for 10 am to field any questions. The next morning, she receives a report from the blast, itemizing the statistics of who received the blast, which calls dropped to voicemail, and what numbers were inactive. Typically, voicemail blasts achieve an 80% success rate. Sara conducts the conference call. This interaction is the most convenient way to ensure that her message is being completely understood and received. CIA provides an operator that opens the floor for questions after Sara finishes her presentation.
After the conference call, Sara reaches out to anyone who did not receive the initial blast. She uses the Integrated CRM Dialer to efficiently call 100 clients. She simply clicks to dial her clients. If a client doesn’t answer, she can quickly provide them with a customized, prerecorded message and move on to the next person. If they do answer, she can easily talk and have a conversation.
The simplicity of these products has made Client Instant Access the first choice for many major Wall Street banks and financial firms. Users can employ Blast Voicemail, Conference Calling, and the Integrated CRM Dialer to expedite their workdays and get their message across, every single day.

Get Proactive: connect with clients, motivate your team and build revenue with a web-based dialer application
It is a common dilemma: how does a company reach out to customers that have fallen off the radar, either because of expired billing information, lapsed renewals, or any number of factors that conspire to disengage them? Customer retention is a problem that plagues companies across industries, in firms big and small, and is especially prevalent in our subscription-based economy. Improving retention requires outreach, rep motivation, and a robust response rate. Often, companies rely on email reminders to find and re-engage their lost customers. And yet, with a click of a mouse or a swipe of a screen, an email is likely to be deleted and unread, with no means of tracking the receipt or verifying the accuracy of the address.
There’s a better solution. To truly retain customers, companies must abandon their passive approach and embrace a proactive method that is data-driven and designed for maximum customer contact. A web-based dialer application that is proactive is the superior solution: it is cost-effective, provides instant feedback, and can be used to incentivize a customer service team to transform into a customer search and rescue party.
Web-based CRM Dialer applications, such as CIA’s Integrated CRM Dialer, are proactive because they engage customers in personalized contact and meaningful outreach. A CRM Dialer efficiency allows a team to quickly and easily call and communicate with large numbers of customers at minimal expense. It integrates in-depth reporting data and real-time feedback. A CRM Dialer also offers a “voice drop” feature, enabling users to record a voicemail message prior to beginning their call session. Each time a user reaches a contact’s voicemail they can “drop” the pre-recorded message into the contact’s voice mailbox and proceed to their next call.
Using a CRM Dialer, a proactive communication campaign can be mounted that motivates customer service representatives to re-engage lost customers and build retention. First, managers can mandate a specific number of calls per month per representative. Second, if an employee exceeds the mandated number of calls he/she would receive a small commission. Third, an additional commission would be given for amassing a certain number of minutes engaged with customers. And finally, a more generous commission can be paid on any revenues gained as a result of their calls. CIA’s Integrated CRM Dialer application provides all the data required by management to effectively monitor this type of incentive campaign. It provides real-time feedback, including information on the calls made, the call result, and total time connected.
The end result of this search and rescue campaign? More customers found, more customers re-engaged, more customers retained and, of course, more customers adding revenue to your bottom line.
