Audio Conferencing Tip: Distribute a Clear Agenda Before the Meeting

If you are the phone conferencing organizer, put together a clear agenda for the meeting and make sure everyone receives a copy prior to the start of your meeting. It is recommended to include the agenda with a reminder email about the phone conference, to help ensure it is received by your participants. Once the conference call begins, follow that agenda as closely as possible to keep yourself within time constraints. When other people will be presenting, make sure you delegate their roles ahead of time so all speakers can be fully prepared.
