Welcome to the 6th video in the series where we'll discuss how Strategic Conversations leverages simple free technology to defeat time & distance - allowing you to have very strategic conversations across the miles and around the clock.

Your prospects do not care how much you know, until they know how much you care. Strategic Conversations provides the opportunity to "give" before you "get" - the secret to lasting relationships!

When we began having peer group meetings over the phone, a revolutionary idea at the time - the available technology was not simple and it was far from free.

All that has changed, making it a key feature of the Strategic Conversations process - because this simple technology totally empowers and connects you at no charge whatsoever.

The most important tool for Strategic Conversations, is the teleconference call capability. Simply described, it allows each member to call a single number - one than none of you own, rent, maintain, etc.

And teleconference calling services today are easy to use, and are available at no charge whatsoever. You are probably familiar with how they work - as an attendee, since they seem to be used by everyone every day.

One of the best known free services is www.FreeConference.com which would be our recommendation as a starting point when investigating the available services. Once the free account is set up, and the time of the calls are reserved, members simply call a pre-arranged number and enter the pre-assigned access code.

One feature www.FreeConference.com offers - that the other services probably offer as well, for a small fee, is the ability to record the call with the simple click of a mouse. By now you know the importance of everyone being at every meeting. This is a critical component of creating strategic, and dynamic conversations.

However in real life, we know that occasionally circumstances interfere. While members can and do call in while they are traveling, sometimes they just can't make it.

In the event a member cannot make the call, a recording can be made easily, so that all can stay connected to the ongoing group discussions.

There are other free teleconference services available. Do a search on the internet and see which one best meets your needs.

We have found that to be truly strategic, conversations need to be ongoing - continuing between the bi-monthly calls.

The best way we've found to do that is with a group email and discussion service. With this, any member can send an email that is automatically sent to all the members - this might be a follow up from last time, or a new question.

At the time of this recording, Yahoo and Google are two providers of these free group email services. Your private discussion group will have its own free "home" page. You may want to use that as a place to post pictures or upload documents.

When members post pictures of themselves, their company, their families, etc., it helps their fellow members see them more completely, and creates a very real person behind the voice they are talking to on the phone.

The capabilities of these free tools are vast - I have barely scratched the surface. You and your group will take advantage of these additional resources as you see fit.

In the coming days, research these communication technologies and see which ones would be best for your group. You can start simply and upgrade to more sophisticated services at anytime.

In the next and final video, I will be speaking about long-term success for the group.
