I compiled the results from our pre-call survey. We got information from many on scheduling, calling options, costs (if any), and types of panelists from a number of interested parties. Below are the firm details, along with a list of details to come. Another survey will be posted before the call to help ensure this call addresses specific topics of the highest interest to the most callers. Last time, we did a great job of collecting A LOT of specifics, but had no way to assess how many people cared about what. We'll do better this time. Topic: Current economy and strategies for forming groups. Date: Sunday, December 7 Time: 2pm PST Costs: Free Call-in (with long distance charges, see below) or access the MP3 recording afterward - also Free Details to come: - Moderator - Panelists - List of specific topics to be covered - Sponsor, if any - Phone Call in details (i.e., phone number, code) - Timing of post-call MP3 availability - Timing of post-call transcript availability Invitations to some specific, known prospective panelists shortly. If you have expertise or experience you'd like to share (without any payment) - or would like to otherwise plug into this new Coho/US service, please send me a private email describing your experience and/or credentials and your phone number. On Calling Long-distance: A few people on our last call suggested we offer toll-free numbers - they were frustrated by their long-distance charges. In our survey, fewer than 10% of our respondents wanted us to charge a small fee to enable us to offer toll-free access. As before, scheduling it on a Sunday allows many people with cell phones to call long-distance for free. If you cannot call for free - and want to avoid high long distance charges, you have two low-cost approaches: - listen to the MP3 call recording afterward (free) - purchase a calling card (I've paid 1.9 cents per minute = $1.14 for 60 minutes) More to come...
