Lawn Care Tele-Conference

[lklandscaping]

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a Lawn Care Business tele-conference. I have this program I use on the farm that we could use. I'd be willing to take meeting mins. I gusee if we do it it should be set up something like this:

-Intro

Name
Location
Business Name
Username (GopherHaul Forum)



-Discussion 1
Topic: Going into the Spring Season (Peak Season)

Business to-do
Equip to-do
Client/Customer to-do
Other to-do


-Discussion 2
Topic: Current state of the industry

Current benefits
current problems
Future


-Free Discussion
Remaining time is general talking

If we wanted this to work I'm sure we would have to set up a common time. I was thinking 6:00pm EST this Friday. Does this work for everyone before I set up up.

If you are interested.....

Steve, Please PM me so I can talk about making you an administrator for this call (if you would like to be one...)

I really like this idea. We can compare, share and help each other. I am all for it my only question is what will this do to my phone bill?

[Steve]

That is great!

I had tried in the past to do this on some of the podcasts.

Why not experiment with it and see how it goes?

[lklandscaping]

I have set it up.....

Just to make it eaisier I have limited the phone line to a max of 25 users. I don't think we will get that high of a call volume but in the event that we do we will work something out...

Date: Friday, March 05, 2010
Start Time: 6:00 PM Eastern Std Time
Participants: MAX OF 25
Dial-in Number: 1-218-936-4700
Participant Access Code: 6727458

I hope to hear from all of you this Friday. Sorry for the short notice....

If you have to pay for long-distance calling I would reccomend either using a cell-phone, or try this: http://www.phonehog.com/registration_b.asp

Since everyone is all over the map and we all have internet access, why not use Skype as it's free to everyone

[ritchiem]

I do have unlimited long distance thru North America....however, Skype gets my vote.

I'll try and call in to see how it works out, thanks for setting this up lklandscaping

[XtreemGreen]

Skype would be much better....FREE

[RoyalLawns]

I think this is good, im in.

[justin_time]

There's also BlogTV maybe we can name it GopherHaulTV and even though you don't have a webcam, everybody can participate to the chat and maybe Steve can be our host

I have mentioned this before but nobody is listening to me :rolleyes:

[CHEESE2009]

Now you can all hear the voice behind the text. LMAO


Justin helped me find Skype, I just suck at figuring it out how to use it.

We need a webcam conference. Skype have that?

Just imagine someone goes on in the buff & just scratches their arse. "Oh hey guys"

hahahaha!!!

[lklandscaping]

can skype call landlines?

[Steve]

As far as I know yea but I think there is a cost associated with it. I think it is free to use skype to skype though.

[lklandscaping]

Details
MUST CALL IN BY 6:15
Dial-in Number: 1-218-936-4700

[Steve]

How did all this go? Were you able to record it?

[lklandscaping]

Only two people called in. I think I'm going to have to set up an online or some type of free conference. Everyone give me dates and times that work best for you. I was figuring Friday at 7:00pm EST but if we can get a majority of people to agree on a different time We can do that......
