Get Green with Leader Phone® Web 2.0 Audio Conferencing
Higher quality
and more features at less cost… and it’s green
Columbus, Ohio (July 21, 2008) — Leader Technologies® announced today its Get Green initiative,
which will implement special programs with green non-profits to reduce
communication costs and reduce the carbon footprint of participating
companies simultaneously.
Chairman Mike McKibben points to Leader Phone audio conferencing as an
obvious way for companies to “get greener.” “Our
patented Web 2.0 innovations in phone conferencing have greatly improved
calling quality and service while reducing cost.”
Conference calling has existed almost as long as the phone company, but
Leader has been able to put a new face on conferencing. “A short
time ago, calls could be as high as $1.00 per minute. We’ve
brought the price down to 9.5 cents per minute, with more features and
higher quality.”
McKibben calls the numbers “impressive.”
“Leader Phone saves you over $1,000 in time, materials, and expense
for the average meeting of six people driving 25 miles to attend. Not
only is this a 224% savings for the company, but it reduces carbon emissions
by 165 pounds.”
McKibben adds that a meeting to which six participants fly a distance
of 500 miles offers an even greater incentive to switch to audio conferencing –
“an estimated savings of 1,487% in dollars, and a reduction of carbon
emissions by 6,900 pounds.”
Leader’s Get Green Coordinator John Needham applauds the company’s
efforts. “Audio conferencing as a hedge against higher
travel and fuel costs is a serious business alternative. And, as
we like to say here in the office – every call makes the world
a greener place.”
