How to conduct a successful conference call?

Before the call:

• Advise participants of the date, time, dial in number, access code and planned duration of the call.
• Prepare an Agenda so you will have a structured meeting
• Send all printed materials to participants or share your material online using Conferencing Link Webconferencing Lite & Pro, so you and your colleagues can share files and work on presentations and documents during the call.
• Need to listen to you conference call at a later date or provide a recording to those unable to attend your live conference? Press *4 recording feature at the beginning of the call so you can keep a record of your conference.
• Always call in from a quiet location
  

During the Call:

• Ask participants to speak clearly, identify themselves before speaking
• Direct questions/comments to specific individuals or locations.
• Use the "Mute" button on your phone when you are not talking to prevent background noise from disrupting the meeting or use the *6 function to mute and un-mute your phone.
• Avoid putting phones on hold. "Hold music" could disrupt the conference.
• Use the ## feature to disconnect all lines and properly end the call.
