subject: Net Meeting Blunders to Avoid [print this page] More and more small businesses are going to the internet for all of their conferencing needs. Net meeting appliance, such as TurboMeeting from RHUB that requires no downloads of any kind, allows you to host your own web conference right on your computer desktop. The advanced technology of web conference solutions can be amazingly beneficial to your business if used correctly. However, there are a number of common mistakes made by web conferencing hosts and participants that can be avoided. One of the most common mistakes made in web conferencing is getting started late. The cardinal rule of online meetings is to never be late with your sales presentation, distance training seminar or other type of web conference. Make it a point to be at your computer at least ten minutes before time for your web meeting to begin. Take this time to get into the net meeting zone and organize your web conference presentation both mentally and physically. Another mistake you want to avoid is running conferencing software that is not compatible with all parties attending the online meeting. Steer clear of the smaller web conferencing service providers to avoid incompatibility disruptions. TurboMeeting from RHUB allows you to run multiple sessions on a single desktop, transfer files and a number of remote access solutions. In addition, all TurboMeeting web conferencing products update automatically, so there is no need for net support. Another common mistake that many people make when hosting and attending internet video conferencing, is failing to turn off all email, IM and social networking notifications. In addition, your web conference or webinar content should be interesting and keep participants awake and paying attention. You also want to ensure that the flow of the meeting is smooth and productive. Be sure to fill your presentations with content that will peak the interest of those attending your meeting so that they will be compelled to stay awake and listen to all of the points that you need to make.
