 FaceTime Appointment� Scheduler - Capabilities and Features Users of FaceTime Appointment Scheduler can research details, profiles and contact information for conference attendees in advance, and then use a proprietary messaging system to build relationships with other attendees even before the event begins. Users can set, organize, view, rearrange, and print appointments, all in one place. Buyers, suppliers, and show managers can view the appointment information differently, as FaceTime can be customized to the specific needs of every kind of event participant. �FaceTime Appointment� Scheduler has been remarkably successful for us,� said Pete Erickson, managing director of The Motivation Show (IT&ME). He concluded, �In the two years of using the technology, 2009 and 2010, our attendees have been able to generate close to 2,000 appointments � resulting in booked business and the solidification of important relationships. In 2011, this robust technology will be made available to all 10,000+ of our early registrants well in advance of the Show to dramatically increase the number of pre-scheduled appointments and improve attendee ROI.� According to Elite, the adoption of FaceTime both reflects and has hastened an industry trend - a movement away from scatter-shot sales efforts on trade show floors, and toward building direct relationships and pre-qualified sales appointments between buyers and sellers before a conference even begins.
