Tips For Sticking To An Agenda On A Phone Call

Have you ever been on a conference call that seemed to be all over the place? If so, it is possible that an agenda was not introduced at the beginning of the call. Below are some tips that will allow you to stick to the schedule. 

Set The Agenda

Every call you have should contain a clear purpose. That is where an agenda comes into play. The agenda spells out the point of the call and what exactly will be discussed. Sending this agenda out to the team prior to the call will keep the participants in the loop.

Invite The Right People

The more the merrier does not apply when it comes to business meetings. After all, people are less likely to pay attention if the meeting does not pertain to them. To prevent this from happening, only invite the employees who need to be there. 

Reserve Questions For The End

The participants might have questions throughout the presentation. However, it is best to ask the host all of the questions at the end of the call. That way, the presenter can explain all of the agenda items in chronological order before answering questions.
