Conference calls can be crowded, noisy affairs. Help keep things running smoothly by being a considerate guest. Practicing these simple habits can help!
Be on time, and be prepared; it’s bad form to show up late and unprepared.
Test your line before the call to ensure that it’s working.
Don’t mumble, rush your words, or chew gum when speaking.
If you’ve got things going on around you (a crowded office, street noise, etc.) mute your line when you’re not speaking. It will allow the other parties to hear with more clarity.
Focus on the call you’re on. Try to avoid multitasking during your conference call. Come to the conference ready to focus solely on what’s being discussed.
If you use your cell phone to join the conference, make sure the battery is charged and ready!
Make sure your call waiting is turned off before you enter the conference. You don’t want to have to put your CEO on hold to take another call!
Conference calling service comes complete with a whole host of options, from participant muting to scheduling. Take some time to familiarize yourself with all your service options BEFORE your conference.
