very unpleasant.

apologize and retire somewhere private to make or receive the call.

interfere with your conversation..

language or being rude.

hinders communication (cigarettes, candy, gum, drinks,
etc..).

have a small notebook and pen to take notes.

25. 5. Virtual Meetings & VideoConferencing
• Virtual meetings take place
over the Internet, where
individuals, partners or
employees attend through
their computer without
physically traveling to the
meeting.

26. VIRTUAL MEETING PROTOCOL
• The first thing to understand when conducting a virtual meeting is that it is not
really a virtual meeting at all.
• The meeting is real, the activity is real, and the importance of the results are real.
• This is a real meeting that happens to take place in a virtual environment.
• Consider the processes that take place:
o Before meeting
o During the meeting
o After the meeting.

27. BEFORE THE MEETING:
The place to conduct the meeting.
1. Technology? Does everyone have the necessary resources?
2. Who are the participants and how will they be invited?
3. What time will the meeting be, and are there participants in different time zones?
4. What language will be spoken during the meeting?
5. Do you make and answer questions during the meeting, or after?
6. What materials will participants need? How will they be sent? Email? Fax?
Overnight Delivery?

28. DURING THE MEETING
1. Try to call or arrive a few minutes early.
2. Introduce all participants.
3. Follow the agenda.
4. Be accurate, use examples to ensure understanding, recap and
summarize.
5. Refer to the slide number or page number if you are using a
presentation previously sent.
6. Direct questions to each participant instead of saying "Are there any
questions?"
7. Listen to the views of all participants.

29. AFTER THE MEETING
1. The meeting does not end as soon as participants hang up or log off.
2. Sending notes shortly after the meeting helps ensure that everyone has the
same understanding of what happened and what will happen next.
3. Well documented decisions and action items with clear deadlines help
people understand how to proceed once they have been disconnected or
dismissed from the meeting.
4. Considering that people may be located in different time zones, the more
you can help people to be successful, the more willing and able they will be
to attend future meetings and take on additional responsibilities.
