[asterisk-biz] Conference Services

[Jon Weisman]

Dean,

Last time i checked this was a biz list where people are free to discuss business opportunities, insight, opinions and advice. I'm just trying to gain some general knowledge regarding conference calling and have no interest in competing with him, this isn't even for the US market. But if David doesn't feel comfortable in sharing any more information then lets leave it up to him ok tough guy?

  I'm sure if you offer to pay a small consulting fee to David he would be happy to tell you how to set up in competition with him.

   

  Lol - I know the answer but I don't do this kind of consulting.

   

   

  Needless to say you should be prepared to pay for 2 or 3 hours of consulting for him to help redirect your company's efforts into a longer term recurring revenue stream.

        Dave - 

        I'm intrigued to know how your advertising covers the costs of the calls. We offer free messaging with advertising, but the ads barely cover the cost of a one minute call. How do you make any money on say a 30 minute conference call with a handful of connected parties?

        jon,
        I offer a free conference calling service, I decide what the number inbound is and I play my advertisement on the inbound calls.  then I give them a conference code and a conference PIN.
        if they want a custom or local DID, then they pay for that plus a minute charge of $0.03 per inbound leg.  advertisement on the inbound calls if I can get it.

Anybody here using Asterisk to host a conferencing service? I'm curious as 
to the business details of the whole thing. How are you guys charging 
monthly? per minute, both? What sort of features are "industry standards"? 
What are the permium features? Bells & whistles?
  
Thanks,
Jon
