Globe.ToileConference.jpgI'm on teleconferences several times a day. They're either great or a mess. Some people don't know how to start one, other times there's no one in charge of moving the call forward or there's no agenda. Sometimes you don't know who is on the call. Save yourselves! Here is a great set of guidelines that help to ensure that you don't have a botched call. They cover everything from freeconferencecall.com (my fav) to how to prep and behave on calls. They even include this key advice: "an audible toilet flush is never acceptable, so if you feel you must take a bio-break during the call without missing a single comment, make sure your BlueTooth headset and mute button are functioning properly."
