2. 1. Find a conference call service provider.
To make a conference call
you’ll need to use a
conference call service
provider.
Many business phone
system providers include
conference calling
functionality as part of the
package.
2. Get the information for joining the call
Follow your service
providers instructions for
creating a new call.
When you’ve done this
you will usually be given a
phone number and pin
code which others will use
to join the call.
3. 3. Test that you can join the call
To save an
embarrassment it’s a
good idea to check that
you can join the call
before you give others the
info for joining.
4. Set a time and invite people
When inviting people
remember to give them
the details for joining the
call.
Always double check that
they have the right
information.
4. 5. Find somewhere quite to call from.
It’s a good idea to find a
quiet area to make the call
from.
If you can’t find a quiet
space try and find ways to
reduce the background
noise where you are.
6. Start the call
It’s good practice to join
the call early. It means you
can double check
everything’s working ok.
It’s also polite to make
sure others don’t have to
wait for you.
5. 7. Check that everyone has joined
Before you start it’s a
good idea to check that
everyone who is
supposed to be on the call
has joined.
You may occasionally find
that people can’t make
the call, but at least you’ll
know who’s on the line.
