Quick Tally^® will enliven and electrify your meeting, engage your audience and enhance your effectiveness...

With the Quick Tally^® anonymous response feature, you learn what your audience really thinks. In less than two seconds, their candid answers are right up there on the screen, challenging them to own their opinions; knocking down barriers and opening minds. Quick Tally^® creates involvement and helps achieve consensus.

When the people in your company all get together for a meeting, there is one undeniably influencing factor: the boss is in the room. Your group meeting is the rare occasion in which the experiences and expectations of each and every person come together in one room. And it could be a rare opportunity to communicate, if you could eliminate the politics. That's what interactive sessions are all about. Through the power of anonymity, your company can communicate freely and openly, boss or no boss.

Many companies unwittingly structure their meeting to discourage participation. Most conventional meetings are set up as talking heads behind an elevated podium, lecturing to a hushed audience sitting in the dark. Although questions are invited and opinions solicited, the message delivered by the physical positioning, the lighting, the dress, etc. is clear: the true job of the audience is to listen. This is clearly not an environment conducive to participation.

We've all experienced the uncomfortable silence when the listeners are suddenly invited to risk a question or vote with a show of hands. A Quick Tally^® meeting is different. Instead of tentative, reserved, self-conscious hand-raising, Quick Tally^® allows private, anonymous responses, and introduces an instantaneous visual portrait of the group's replies that changes the character of your meeting.

The first time members of your audience see their responses before them on the screen, a ripple of anticipation and appreciation goes through the meeting. It is a uniquely powerful experience the audience won't soon forget. From that moment, the meeting is usually transformed from a ho-hum "them" gathering to an "us" event.

The Quick Tally^® process enables the group to learn from one another, break down assumptions, move quickly toward conclusions, and arrive at a consensus.

By using the system intelligently and judiciously, Quick Tally^®:

• Speeds the Decision Process

The Quick Tally^® Team

• An Account Executive to work with you on the design and application aspects of your session,
• a highly skilled Systems Operator to run the system and input your impromptu questions, and

You are not just renting a piece of AV equipment. You are employing a full-service interactive audience response company's experience to guide you through every step.

The Participants
The most important objective for the speaker is to empower the audience in this new interactive environment. The Quick Tally^® questions you ask will create enthusiasm in the audience. The result will be not only the acquisition of new, unbiased information, but also a process of discovery within the audience, a feeling that there is true concern and value placed upon their responses, and an eagerness to participate.

The Speaker/Moderator
You are like a network-sports commentator, adding color to the session. When you are posing questions, it is good technique to ask the question and go over the list of possible responses. However, when the Quick Tally^® results appear on the screen, your job is NOT to read off the responses. Instead, provide commentary. Interpret what you see on the screen and encourage discussion of the possible implications of the responses.
