To ensure successful conference calls, there are three things participants should avoid:
1) Multitasking, as it leads to drops in productivity and IQ. Participants should focus solely on the meeting.
2) Forgetting to mute oneself, as it can allow interruptions like barking dogs or eating chips to disrupt the call.
3) Coming unprepared, which risks falling behind or awkward interruptions, especially without visual cues over audio-only calls. Preparing ensures positive contributions.

If you’re in a meeting, be in the meeting mentally. Put away the social

Your colleagues – and your sense of professional pride –
will thank you.

We've all been on a conference call that
was interrupted by a barking dog, an
ambulance wailing or someone chowing
down on a bag of chips. Not only is it
totally unprofessional to interrupt a
meeting, but it can also absolutely be
avoided. Far too often people forget
about the mute button. Remember this
trusty feature the next time you're on a
conference call.

It really should go without saying--don't
come to ANY meeting unprepared. But
what makes a conference call different?
When on an audio-only call, you have the
disadvantage of not being able to see
cues on when it's okay to jump in and ask
questions about what's going on. To
avoid falling behind and risking awkward
interruptions, come prepared so you can
positively contribute to your meeting.
