Conference Call Etiquette
If you know the basic etiquette for conference call you will stand comfortably and will not meet some judging from you co-workers if make a mistake because of not knowing the rules.This will make you comfortable and looking professional in front of the participants of the meeting.
The etiquette itself for using conference calling services is not hard for learning and difficult. You will need to practise it and from the time spending on conferencing you will learn it. I am not here to offend something not you or the people you are working with. And there is one crucial thing when you are in a call – the people can not see your reactions or your body language they can hear only your voice expressions.
The most annoying thing when doing conference is the background noises, so go and find some quiet place at the office. You have to take sure that the place is not open and other colleagues can be heard when they are working. This type of noises is so distracting so keep it down please. And you may give the other people the feeling that they must not have
have your attention on them as they do to you.
Other thing you have to make sure that all of the conferees have the proper log in information or the access codes that you have to provide them in order to join the meeting. They have to call you several minutes before the meeting’s start that is needed because everybody need to be there so the conference can start on time. It is the same thing when you are late for a meeting and when you are calling late too. All of the participants should be introduce to the other before the key part start. If the meeting is by group of several location across the globe the meet should very brief.
Every single person who is going to speak at the conference call must state his first and his last name before he start talking. This will help the listener to recognize who is participating the meeting. Also when the attendees are not talking they should mute their microphone this will give much more clear voice call for the other listeners. And before he will talk again to un mute it.
