My first experience with a conference call was on sales strategy with corporate office. I logged into the conference bridge as per the agreed schedule, but soon realized that most of the other attendees were late.

The whole session was unorganized, there were unnecessary arguments and misunderstandings and no decision could be taken

This is how my second experience with conference calls was, on the same issue with VP- planning as host:
The VP logged in on time and he introduced himself first along with other people who were with him. Surprisingly people from other offices were also logged in on time. I understood the role of punctuality in a conference call.
Secretary to the VP presented the agenda of the meeting, mentioning that she was going to be the time keeper of the meeting and that she was also responsible for circulating the minutes of the meeting.

Before we moved to the next topic on the agenda, the VP summarized the decision taken, issues still open for that topic and clearly mentioned who was responsible for closure of a particular open issue. Thus, we agreed on several issues in a short time span. I learnt that organizing and controlling is the basis of a successful conference call.
I noticed some people were going offline for few minutes after pressing the mute button in the conference bridge. This way, they were part of the conference call and yet able to discuss internally without disturbing others. This helped us to take clear decisions.
