Organizing Teleconferencing
Setting up a teleconference would require first and foremost a person that would be in charge of the conference call. It is this person’s responsibility to call or email each participant and establish the specific time for the conference call. This will be the same person that will make the necessary calls to assemble the group and establish the reservation with pin numbers and call in numbers to be used by each participant. It should be kept in mind that a large number of people may be difficult to manage in a single teleconference, but Eagle Teleconferencing system is step up for the challenge!

I just love with Eagle Teleconferencing we are able to know how many people are on our conference call right then. It is very exciting that when you hit the *8 the automated voice comes on and tells you that you have 200 or 300 or more people on your call. It is so fun.
Whether you’re the leader or just an attendee, you should dial in on the conference call at the scheduled time. Assuming you’re not a high-up executive who needs to show the world how important you are. You aren’t any more important than anyone else… so be careful of other people’s time, and get on the conference call when you say you will be on. If you must be late for some reason, email another participant and give them an estimated time for when you’ll be on the conference call. If you’re the leader, especially of a regularly-scheduled conference call, make it a habit to start on time. Stragglers will soon learn they should be on time if they want to know what’s going on. You can even give participants forewarning of your punctuality in the email invite to the call: tell them “the conference call is scheduled for 8 pm and begins promptly at 8:02.” Then keep your word.
