Steer Clear Of These Common Conference Call Mistakes

Have you ever witnessed an awkward moment during a conference call? If so, you know how uncomfortable things can get. Below are some tips that will help you steer clear of conference call pitfalls.

Technology Fails
On a conference call, there is nothing worse than an embarrassing technology faux pas. It is so important to make sure that your computer and phone are working properly prior to the call. After all, you don't want your computer or phone to malfunction during an important presentation.

Becoming Distracted
If the conference call is not particularly interesting, some workers can become distracted and start doing other things.  For instance, a worker might play games on their computer to pass the time. However, you do not want to be known as the employee who can't pay attention in meetings.

Not Introducing Yourself
It is no secret that there are usually a lot of participants on conference calls. If you decide to speak up and say something, do not forget to introduce yourself. This oversight can confuse the other participants of the call.
