International Conference Call Tips – To Ensure a Successful Call

Setting up an international conference call should be met with careful review as there are many factors that will influence the success of your call. Calling across international time zones and borders can be tricky and we suggest you are prepared well in advance. Consider some of the following international conference calling suggestions below to maximize a smooth productive call that will obtain the results you hope for.

How is this a free call, is it a limited time offer?

We offer conference calling at no cost to you and it will always be at no cost. The only cost will be normal long distant rates. Participants can use long distance or prepaid calling cards. We do offer 800 numbers at a low cost.

Do you offer recording on conference calls

Yes, we provide free recording, access, and downloads* of your recordings for up to 30 days. When you choose to record your call you will receive a six digit pin number that will allow you to access your recording by phone any time during the 30 days. *free downloads are available with the No Cost Conference with Web Control. Your recordings are stored in wav format so that you can email them to other associates that could not attend your conference.

Can we record personal greetings

If you wish to have a personal greeting recorded contact us. It requires certain amount of minutes used per month in order to make it financially feasible. It is something we do encourage for larger corporations.

Why should I come to the conference call? Can't I just read the leaders guide?

Of course you can read the leaders guide, and for a few people that would be sufficient preparation. However, our experience is that most people want and gain value from a training on the materials so they are more comfortable leading the discussion with their staff.

What's covered in the call?

We'll walk you through the leaders guide for the month's module, and you'll answer the questions that you'll be asking your staff. We'll run the conference call as an abbreviated version of the discussion you'll be leading, so you can see how you can do this for your team. Afterward, we'll open it up to questions you may have about leading the discussion.

When are the conference calls scheduled

The conference calls will generally be scheduled the first week of the month, so you can then use that month's Discussion Guide any time in the month. Additional conference calls will be added as needed, so you can check www.RebeccaMorgan.com to see which time would be most convenient to you. When it isn't feasible to schedule a call the first week of the month, as it sometimes isn't the first week in January, then the calls will be scheduled at the beginning of the second week.

What if I miss the call

You can register for another conference call session that month on a space-available basis. The training will be taped and available at a special phone number for one week afterward. You will need to contact us for that special number if you want to listen to the taped training.

What if I'm on vacation or sick that week?

You may listen to the taped call, or, one time during the year, you may send a substitute to the conference call. This person must register with us as your substitute via an email to us, and the person who attends the conference call briefing needs to also be the one leading the staff discussion that month.

What if I'm traveling that week?

Many people find they can still schedule the half-hour call, even when traveling. Or you can listen to the taped version of the call, or you can send a substitute for one time.
