All bridge line providers offer a number of controls for the host. The biggest one is the mute button.
You should test everything the day before, just like a speaker at a conference inspects the room and sound system. Get a friend on line and test quality and the mute button. And test the recording mechanism if you use one connected to the bridge line.There are a number of free conference services that offer recordings at the touch of a button.
On the day of the event you should be online at least 5 minutes before, listening for any problems and turning ON the mute botton and turning OFF the bongs that announce new connections.
You should use a recorded countdown that tells those who dial in "The seminar will begin in 90 seconds.." When the countdown hits zero, start with a bang, don't hang back. A socko headline will back up and confirm all your pre conference fluff. "In the next 60 minutes, you will discover twelve reasons why..."
It is not in your best interest to engage attendees in idle chit chat before hand. A speaker at a conference does not hang legs over the edge of the stage and talk to the front row until introduced.
Your teleseminar is a deal just as big as the speaker at the convention. It takes as much preparation, precision timing and a flair for show biz. Luck for you, you can do it in your jammies and use crib notes.
