The Upside: Killer Sales Tips from the folks at Glance Networks

We're Offering a Free Month of Glance Web Conferencing to Frustrated Business Travelers

The past month has visited new levels of pain on weary travelers, leaving them stranded and unable to attend meetings. Recently, the Airline Quality Ratings (AQR) survey reported that 2008 is the worst year since the inception of the survey, and American Airlines cancelled more than 2,000 flights in the wake of FAA inspections on its MD-80 fleet. On top of that, Aloha Airlines, ATA Airlines, Frontier Airlines and Skybus are either shutting down or filing for bankruptcy protection, which means more canceled flights.

These kinds of delays have amounted to a loss in productivity that is nearly incalculable. I've heard reports from recent weeks of more than 300,000 displaced passengers who missed meetings and lost sales. Why put yourself through it?! Our Glance customers eliminate or dramatically reduce their business travel by meeting remotely through Web conferencing.

We wondered what we could do, here at Glance, to help people get out of the travel habit. We figured anyone who’s recently fallen victim to air travel delays has an extra incentive to look at alternatives. So we came up with the idea of offering a free month of Glance to help them experience this change in behavior.

Here's the deal. Any frustrated business traveler can click on http://glance.net/airlinewoe, briefly tell us their tale of airline woe and we'll set them up with a free month of Glance Web conferencing.

It's worth $49.95. (The offer is good through May 31, 2008.)

Web conferencing really can be better than being there. No jet lag. No worries about getting lost. No time away from family and friends.

And you can't beat the price. Parking at
