We've all been on a long conference call that veers off topic. Try using the # or other key on your phone to signal it's time to get back on track.
Keeping the conference call focused helps the call end quickly. Entrepreneur has a handy tip to keep on topic:
Establish a ground rule that anyone on the call should hit the # sign when they think the discussion has veered off topic or has gone on too long. This works wonderfully, because no one knows who hit the # sign, but it serves as a great way to reign in the conversation and avoid rambling discussion.
Don't try the # or any other key during a call without verifying your conference system's functionality, since some keys trigger special commands during a call. Be sure to use one that doesn't serve another function.
