One of the most powerful way to generate tons of leads for
your business is by web or audio conference calls. Most
savvy marketers are using this method of lead generation
to bring in tons of attention to their product or services.

To get the maximum out of your listeners, there are some
etiquette you must adhere to.

1. Moderators should be on time.

A moderator should arrive a few minutes early to greet each
of the participants, and let them know when everyone is
present and ready to start the call.

2. Always introduce yourself when speaking for the first time.

It is important to introduce yourself when first speaking as
other participants may not recognize your voice.

3. Avoid putting your phone on HOLD.

Putting your local phone on hold could introduce music into
the conference, so when considering the hold function please
use #6 instead. Otherwise your hold music will play into the
conference call, and make it impossible for the other
participants to continue the meeting in your absence!
(Remember to un-mute yourself when you come back.)

4. Create an agenda and keep to your schedule.

Remain consistent with the time line and agenda as prescribed
in order to respect the time of the other participants.

5. Clearly state when calls end.

If participants linger after you have hung up on the call
you will get billed! Ensuring that all participants
understand when a call has ended will avoid any possible
confusion so stay on the line and make sure everyone has
left the call.

Southern California, the all everything team with amazing speed and an abundance of depth in all the positions is the number one team in the nation. Only one team, on October 1, 2005 has a chance to upset the Trojans. That one team is Arizona State and that is a long shot.

2005 Predicted Order of Finish

1. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Defending national champions have return quarterback matt Leinart and running backs Reggie Bush and LenDale White (1,000-yard rusher) along with wide receiver Dwayne Jarrett with wide open arms. This array of offensive personnel will be impossible to stop. The defense did not fare as well on returning stars and may be the only weakness of this team.

2. ARIZONA STATE
Sam Keller will take over the quarterback duties and with a strong previous showing for the Sun Devils. In leading Arizona State to victory over Purdue in last year’s bowl appearance, Sam had stellar performance. Their will be many receivers that are capable of being stars in their own right. These include perhaps one of the best receiving one-two receiving combos in the nation in wide receiver Derek Hagan and tight end Zach Miller. There may be a problem with defense.

3. OREGON
Quarterback Kellen Clemens and the spread offense will be giving their opposition a new headache to handle. Throw in the outstanding abilities and talents of Terrance White, the defenses will be thrown off balance. Newcomer Derrick Jones, with his blazing speed will also add something new to the mix. The defense is solid and is anchored by Devan Long and Haloti Ngata.

4. CALIFORNIA
Quarterback is one of the unsettled positions for the Bears. Junior-college transfer Joe Ayoob will be competing against Nathan Longshore for the leadership of the team. The other outstanding back is Marshawn Lynch, who was impressive at spring training.

5. UCLA
If quarterback Drew Olson (coming off a knee injury) is ready to start the season, the Bruins will be one of the most entertaining teams in the Pac-10. Olsen will have running back Maurice Drew and tight end Marcedes Lewis to go to. There will also be wide receivers Brandon Breazell, Marcus Everett, and Junior Taylor. Drew will be looking to have his second straight 1,000-yard season.

6. WASHINGTON STATE
Senior running back Jerome Harrison and wide receivers Jason Hill and Michael Bumpus should have a “break out” season. Quarterback will remain unsettled and may affect the showing of the running back and wide receivers. Josh Swogger and Alex Brink will compete for the quarterback position.

7. STANFORD
After finishing 114th in the nation in rushing, the Trojans will run the West Coast offensive in 2005. Considering the talent level of the Trojans, this will be a tall ordrer and may not be filled. Possible quarterback would be Trent Edwards with T.C. Ostrander available to step in if he drops the ball.

8. OREGON STATE
Talent is thin for the Beavers this year. Wide receiver Mike Hass is ready to catch the ball, but it is uncertain who will throw it to him. Will it be Ryan Gunderson or UCLA transfer Matt Moore? Defense has no returning horses.

9. WASHINGTON
With an awful minus-19 in turnover ratio for 2004, the team will have to learn how to hold on to the ball before their game on Sept 24 with Notre Dame. The Huskies are at least two years away from reversing their downward trend.

10. ARIZONA
Where is the talent? If there is any, now is the time to step forward. The Wildcats will have to run the ball and it will be hard for them to win, because they will start out at the low end of the score. Without any passing attack, it will be impossible to win to many games. Syndric Steptoe is young and inexperience at receiver. Defense has too many unknown qualities to list.

The SEC takes on a new look this year with the high-profile coaches at the helms of their respective teams. Steve Spurrier has returned to coach South Carolina. Florida is now under the direction of Coach Urban Meyer and Les Miles is the new coach at LSU. If recent history holds true, the SEC Champion will come from the West (three out of the last 4 champions) even though the East appears to the stronger division.

2005 Predicted Order of Finish

EAST

1. TENNESSEE
The Volunteers will be returning 16 starters from last year’s 10-3 season record. It is possible that they could be making a litigable run for the national title. Sophomore quarterback Erik Ainge (17 touchdown passes as a freshman) will be a formidable field general. He will have running back Gerald Riggs (1,107 yards rushing) returning also. Linebacker Omar Gaither and safety Jason Allen will lead the very strong defense.

2. FLORIDA
New coach Urban Meyer can thank his predecessor for the talent and ability left to him. The gators are able to make a strong case for winning the SEC Conference title. Junior quarterback Chris Leak is coming off a 3,197-yard, 29-touchdown season in 2004. One of the top receivers in the conference, Andre Caldwell, is also back. Last year’s “SEC Freshman of the Year” in 2004 will be back in linebacker Brandon Siler.

3. GEORGIA
Backup quarterback D.J. Shockley will finally be able to take over under center. He will be supported by tight end Leonard Pope and running backs Thomas Brown and Danny Ware. Pope caught 25 passes in 2004 and sophomore Brown and Ware have the potential to be breakout players.

4. SOUTH CAROLINA
Steve Spurrier has his work cut out for him. He will have to fend a quarterback since moving Syvelle Newton to receiver. His one bright spot is in cornerback Ko Simpson, who had six interceptions in 2004.

5. VANDERBILT
The defense should be better than in 2004 with all three linebackers returning. Leading the defense will be Moses Osenwegie, who had a team top number of tackles with 94 in 2004. The offensive has Jay Cutler, one of the best quarterbacks in the SEC, but nothing else. One receiver, Erik Davis may turn out to be Cutler’s favorite receiver and only support on the team.

6. KENTUCKY
With a record 2-9 for last season, it appears that this will be the same for 2005. Quarterback Andre Woodson had a decent 2004 in limited action and may be the savior for this season. The defense was non existent against the run in 2004. They were better against the pass and if all the other teams do is pass, then the Wildcats may have a better record that 2004. The secondary will see safety Muhammad Abdullah back and performing admirable.

WEST

1. LSU
The No.1 rushing team in 2004 has 10 starters returning and the defense has 8 starters returning. The offense includes standout backs Alley Broussard (6.1 average and 10 touchdowns), Joseph Addai (6.7 average), and Justin Vincent (4.2 average), as well as a very good offensive line. A stout defense will be anchored by defensive tackle Claude Wroten and safety LaRon Landry.

2. AUBURN
It will be tough for Auburn to repeat their 2004 season with no defeats in conference or bowl games. The Tigers have lost a lot of their 2004 team, but will have the momentum to compete. On offense, there will be wide receivers Anthony Mix, Devin Aromashodu, and Courtney Taylor returning as part of the offensive line. The defense has linebacker Travis Williams and a very good secondary with Will Herring and Montavis Pitts.

3. ALABAMA
Linebackers Freddie Roach and DeMeco Ryans return with seven other defensive personnel from the No. 1 defense in the SEC in 2004. On offensive, quarterback Brodie Croyle and running back Kenneth Darby will have to stay healthy to put Alabama in the race for the conference title. The most lethal return man in the SEC in the body of Tyrone Prothro.

4. MISSISSIPPI STATE
After a disappointing 3-8 season in 2004, the Bulldogs should have no problem showing improvement. This will depend on second-team ALL-SEC running back Jerious Norwood (1,050 yards, and 7 touchdowns) and defensive end Willie Evans (5.5 sacks.)

5. ARKANSAS
Sophomore quarterback Robert Johnson will guide the offense. The running back position is still open and needs to be filled if the team is going to win. Peyton Hills may be the answer with his 2004 record of six rushing touchdowns. Nine defensive starters are back, including safety Vickiel Vaughn.

6. MISSISSIPPI
Running back Vashon Pearson has a chance to be first-team All-Conference if he can overcome playing behind an inexperience offensive line. The defense, which ranked ninth last season will have to improve and will rely heavily on defensive tackle McKinley Boykin.
