Below is a typical best practices format:
Pre-Call
|
• |
|
We work with your wire service bureaus to get your IR call schedule published and promoted. |
|
• |
|
Information is communicated in full compliance with disclosure requirements and everyone arrives for the call on the same page. |
|
• |
|
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. |
|
• |
|
Before the call begins, a Promotional Recording of your choosing can be played – possibly theme music or a recording of the latest ad campaign. This sets the tone for the call. |
|
• |
|
All callers can be greeted by a live operator OR prompted by the system for a PIN code if they registered in advance. If being greeted by a live operator a password can be required, or the callers name can be checked against a list of pre-approved invitees. |
The IR Call
|
• |
|
The operator reads a Custom Script, written by the call leader, to all participants on the line. It sets the stage for the conference and opens the call in a clear and professional manner. |
|
• |
|
The call is conducted in Lecture Mode. All participants’ lines are muted during the presentation to reduce background noise and minimize interruptions. |
|
• |
|
Once the presentation has concluded, the operators administer a Q&A Session. |
|
• |
|
Participants enter themselves into a queue to ask a question using their telephone keypads. When each one's turn comes, the appropriate line is unmuted, an introduction is made and the questioner takes the floor. |
|
• |
|
The call leader’s representative sees who has a question on Queue-View SM . Using the online conference interface, he/she prioritizes the Q&A Queue while discussing her changes behind the scenes with the operator on the Communication Line (Comm Line). The call’s flow continues uninterrupted. |
|
• |
|
Using Streaming, the call is broadcast over the Internet. When the call is completed, the link to your stream is posted on your IR website providing access to those who missed the live call or would like to review it again at a later date. |
Post-Call
|
• |
|
A Participant List report is faxed or emailed showing all of the information gathered from participants as they joined the call. This provides a perfect contact list for post-call follow up. |
|
• |
|
A Transcription of the call will arrive after the call's completion within the turnaround time you specify. This record of the call provides a written account for use in press releases and news wire services. A Recording of the conference is also burned to a CD and sent for your archives. |
|
• |
|
The call is digitally recorded for On-Demand Playback. Caller information can be captured in a Playback Participant Report from those people dialing into the playback providing you with the same information that was collected from the live call participants. |
