Conference Call Etiquette - Tip #2

Stick To The Agenda
Follow an outline for your conference call agenda. This keeps the meeting focused and provides cohesion so your conference call will be more productive. The easiest way to stick to the agenda when hosting a conference call is to outline the agenda on index cards. Write down each point you need to cover on a separate index card and stack them in order. Flip through each card as the topic of discussion is covered. You can even take notes that are appropriate to each topic on the the back of the index card.
