More tips on conducting a successful conference call.

1. Get all the information that the participants will need to call in. Usually this is a phone number and some kind of password.
2. Test the conference bridge in advance if you are unfamiliar with the tool you’ll be using
3. Schedule your conference call and invite other people to attend.
4. Make sure you can make the call from a quiet location with minimal background noise.
5. Start the call. Be on time. Log on to the conference call 10 minutes early if possible. Some tools won’t let you log on until the time scheduled and others won’t let anyone communicate until a leader with a special password logs in.
6. Wait for everyone to join and then start talking!
