如何有效且自信地主导/主持一个英文视频会议 conference call？

参与电话会议对许多人来说都是很困难的，而主持一个电话会议就更难了，但如今的外贸形势可能已经让你必须以电话会议的形式来开展商务沟通了。下面的内容将帮助你有效地组织和主持一个成功的视频会议。

另外，关于如何作为一个参与者加入视频会议，请参考这篇文章《害怕跟你的国外客户开视频会议？这些技巧和短语可以让参与者更自信更高效》

每个与会者都应宣布他们的存在。如果是你主持会议，应单独欢迎每位与会者。确保所有被邀请者都在场，也应将新成员介绍给其他与会者。

问候语

Good morning. This is [Alex] from the [your company name].

Good afternoon [Rachel]. Thank you for joining us today.

I would like to welcome everybody here today.

Thanks for attending.

Could you all when speaking state your name clearly?

Please indicate (say) which office/department you represent so that the minutes are recorded properly.

出席会议

Before we start, please could you introduce yourselves?

I’m afraid [Jacky] is absent today. We will have to proceed without him

核对姓名

[Ralph], please could you correct my pronunciation before we begin?

Today we have two [Toms]. Please could we add surnames when speaking: Tom Smith and Tom Taylor.

介绍新成员

I’d like to introduce [Paul]. He’s in charge of Sales in the Paris office.

提醒参与者从一开始就清楚地进行表达，避免太多的人同时发言，同时提醒参与者如何使用视频会议的技术。

最大限度地增进了解

We have 3 nationalities here today. Please speak clearly and slowly so that everyone understands.

Please could you speak one at a time?

May I remind you to speak one at a time?

技术方面

Could you check your microphone please?

Remember to switch off the mute button when you are speaking. Switch it on when you’re not speaking.

如果有超过三或四个人参与，设定一个发言顺序将有助于避免混乱或中断。

例如：参与者可以按字母顺序发言。无论你选择什么，重要的是在一开始就明确说明顺序，这样人们就能在轮到自己时做好发言准备。

在你介绍完主题后，你可以补充说：

We’ll follow an alphabetical speaking order. We’ll begin with Mr. Baldwin, followed by Mrs. Brown, Mr. Chatterjee, Ms. Evans, Mr. Richards, Ms. Stalling and Mr. Yaxley.

确保所有与会者都能听清楚。当你遇到声音方面的问题时，要让其他参会者知道，也可以礼貌地要求呼叫者重复。

检查音量

Can you hear me ok?

Could you check your microphone please?

声音有问题

I can’t hear very well.

I’m sorry. I have a problem with my microphone.

There’s a lot of noise in the background. Could you check your microphone please?

John, you need to switch off the mute button if you want to speak.

理解口音

I’m sorry [John], but I’m afraid I didn’t understand. Please could you repeat that?

I’m afraid I didn’t understand, Mr [Chopra]. Please could you speak more slowly?

理解某个句子的一部分

I’m sorry [Mr McKay] but I didn’t catch that. Could you repeat that please?

I’m afraid I didn’t understand [Mr McKay]. Please could you say that again?

I’m sorry [Mr McKay]. Please could you clarify what you mean by…?

但出现多个声音时

There are two people speaking. Mr Chopra, can you continue? John, we’ll come back to you in a moment.
