Here are some tips for the moderator who will do the conference call hosting:

Start on time and have an agenda – Late arrivals waste everyone’s time. Encourage everyone to arrive five minutes early and email them an agenda in advance. The agenda should provide a list of topics to discuss and time allocations for each. It’s a good idea to block-in break times or extra time at the beginning/end for miscellaneous “chit chat.”
Stick to your agenda – As the moderator who is doing the conference call hosting, you must follow your agenda. Participants rely on you to move the conversation along and to stay on task.
Keep everyone engaged – By adding visuals and interactive elements to your conference call you will dramatically increase participation, attendance, and retention. Conference call hosting can be enhanced with the following tools (included with every AccuConference account)
- PowerPoint – Use pictures and graphs to illustrate or reinforce your points.
- Polling – Gain valuable feedback and see if people are paying attention.
- Text-Chat – Allow people to contribute to your meeting without speaking up.
- Q & A sessions – host a LIVE Q & A session after or during your call.
- Application Sharing – Access and modify the same document at the same time with others.
- >Desktop Sharing – Let others see what you see, including browsing the internet.
- Video – Use a web camera to stream live video so they not only hear you, but see you.
- White Board – Let everyone add their own thoughts and ideas to the group whiteboard.
Summarize with Action Items – When your meeting is done, summarize everything that was discussed. Assign action items for your next meeting and make note of them for next time.
End on time – You don’t want people dreading your meetings. End on time and follow-up with an email that provides meeting notes and any additional handouts.
