Hold free voice conference through Talkbiznow

BANGALORE: In an age where business is no longer confined to one small locality, and the pressure to engage with a global market place intensifies, more and more people are under growing pressure to manage and develop their networks more effectively.  On a daily basis most people will talk to colleagues, potential buyers, employers or suppliers in markets spanning a myriad of times zones.

Talkbiznow, an online work place for business professionals, allows Facebook style communication using a new suite of tools. A new generation site, www.talkbiznow.com, is the only business networking site to allow users hold free voice conferences.

Whilst the trend for more and more people to do business over the Internet is growing there are very few tools available, which allows people to communicate effectively, unlike the social networking sector.  Talkbiznow combines online networking and business tools to enable professionals of all types to connect.

Features of Talkbiznow

• Host free Webinars (only professional/business networking site to do this)
• Post free advertisements (only professional/business networking site to do this)
• File Share and Post blogs
• Nudge contacts (gentle way to remind contacts)
• iphone application

CEO and Co-founder of Talkbiznow, Martin Warner, says: “The vision behind Talkbiznow is an office on the move for busy people who are free to connect with other professionals, with their own network, blog, advertise, host webinars and trade online wherever they are.”

“The success of online social communities has shown that connecting online using networking functionality is growing at a significant rate.  However, networking for business reasons is not only the next logical step but in fact more necessary than social networking. Almost everyone has a business life. Talkbiznow has brought a completely new dimension and formalised the business networking space, in the way that social networking did when Facebook arrived on the scene. We are about making you more productive in your business network, and it is completely free, even posting your own Ads,” says Mark Parker, former MD of Intelligent Finance and co-founder of Talkbiznow.

Talkbiznow is expected to create a significant paradigm shift in the way that business professionals and companies engage with each other in a global market place. Now that both big and small companies can brand and position themselves and have equal reach across the site, small companies will undergo a considerable level of empowerment as they reach out to bigger markets on limited budgets.

Talkbiznow will serve many purposes starting from the business network itself, such as, sales, general marketing, recruiting, job-hunting, knowledge exchange, and business development (in the sense of strategic alliances, joint ventures and channel sales). Of all these, business development is the one that it supports best. In fact, business development and business networking are closely related. Online networking sites offer unprecedented ways for entrepreneurs to identify and connect with potential partners.
