Preparing for Your First Call

  • Before the office call with your expert, try a practice call with a friend or colleague. This will allow you to double check microphones, web camera and internet.
  • Set an objective. Share it with your class and expert caller.
  • Prepare to interact: ask questions and comment.
  • Have fun during the call and follow up with a personal thank you after.
