Tips For Making Conference Calls Less Awkward

A conference call can get awkward quickly. This is especially true if people start talking over one another or if a silence lasts for a little too long. Below are some tips that can make your next conference call less awkward.

Appoint A Leader

If you forget to designate someone as the leader of the call, the conference call will most likely be very unorganized. To avoid this, be sure to appoint one of your colleagues as the host. That way, one person is responsible for setting up and executing the call.

Use The Best Phone or Video Conferencing System

Nothing is more embarrassing than experiencing technical difficulties on a conference call. You can prevent this from happening by choosing a phone or video conferencing system that the team is comfortable with. A video conferencing tool will allow you to see all of the participants of the call.

Speak Up

Some people are afraid to voice their opinions on conference calls. However, the point of a conference call is to exchange ideas! Do not hold back your thoughts on conference calls in the future. 

There are phone systems that are designed with conferencing in mind. If you need to have a new phone system installed at your business, turn to the professionals here at Reliable Voice & Data Systems. To learn more or to schedule a free estimate, give us a call at (877) 385-6657.
