Following a short experience with a paid conferencing provider and the pains of dealing with call invitations, MBSconnect conducted a search on free conferencing and selected FreeConferenceCall.com after testing a few providers over the course of two weeks. "Prior to FreeConferenceCall.com, we had no method to gather these large groups of people in one forum, at the same time," said Lisa Rittberger, Founder and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"In order to assess, train and organize the providers we were adding to our holistic network, we needed a tool to regularly communicate with the providers. FreeConferenceCall.com gave us the critical communications tool we were seeking." MBSconnect is presently using 10 to 15 conference lines with each person on staff having their own number.

Rittberger and her team conduct three information calls per week that run an hour each as well as another five to 10 hour-long conference meetings per week with providers and other network members -- five to 12 people are typically on each call. "If we were using a paid conferencing service, we would have had to pay anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000 per month," said Rittberger. "Not to mention, if we had to pay for the service, we wouldn't have relied upon it so heavily to power our business." MBSconnect has also used the free conference recordings on its web site as audio advertisements of its services. "When we started MBSconnect, we had no start-up money and were forced to build our business through sweat and tears," added Rittberger. "There was no pocket of change to pay any conferencing bills based on our call volumes, but now FreeConferenceCall.com allows us to operate as a virtual entity since we can easily gather all the staff and providers on the phone." "It is truly rewarding to see our solutions helping to build a business like MBSconnect," said David Erickson, founder and CEO of Free Conferencing Corporation of America.
