A Typical Operator Conference Call

Pre-Call

• Your assigned a dedicated account manager as a single point of contact to assist with anything that you need.

• Scheduling your calls is easy. Our advanced reservations system captures and stores your call profile including all necessary call features. When scheduling subsequent calls you do not have to repeat everything.

• Conference call information is communicated in a clear, easy-to-understand format to attendees.

• The call leader and the scheduled speakers gather in a Sub-Conference before the call begins to go over the agenda and discuss last-minute updates. The operator will finalize any last minute logistics such as who to turn the call over to, how to pronounce speaker names, Q&A, polling, etc.

• Callers can dial either a toll-free or toll number to access the call. For international attendees we offer international toll-free access numbers in 98 countries and local access numbers in 23 countries. You can also choose to have the operator(s) dial out to speakers and/or attendees to connect them into the call.

• The operator(s) gather any necessary information (e.g., name, affiliation, etc.) and place them into the call.

• The participants hear music (or custom announcement) until you are ready to start.

During the Call

• All operators are voice talent trained and perform a professional speaker introduction. You can use the standard introduction script or customize as you'd like. It sets the stage for the conference and opens the call in a clear and professional manner. You can provide an approved attendee list (optional) to make sure only certain approved attendees can join.

• A dedicated communications line can connect the operator handling the call to a point of contact at your location for instant support access.

• The call can be conducted in Lecture Mode so that all participant lines are muted during the presentation to reduce background noise and minimize interruptions.

• Once the presentation has concluded, the operator can administer a Q&A session. Participants indicate that they have a question using their telephone keypad, while the operator manages the question queue in a professional and orderly fashion. When each one's turn comes, the appropriate line is unmuted, an introduction is made and the questioner takes the floor. While in queue the attendees will still hear the conference.

Post-Call

• An attendee report is emailed immediately following the call showing all of the information gathered from participants as they joined the call.

• Transcription service is available if you need a written account for use in press releases and news wire services.

• The call can be digitally recorded for playback via online streaming, MP3, CD ROM, tape, or toll-free dial-in number. Added information is captured in an online report from those people dialing into the playback providing you with

the same information that was collected from the live call participants.
