That might mean across town, or it might mean across the country or overseas. But with modern video conferencing tools, you can now meet with your clients without ever leaving your office.<\/p>\n<p>But running a <a title=\"BEP 359 - Virtual Teams 1: Video Conference English\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessenglishpod.com\/2020\/06\/16\/bep-359-virtual-teams-1-video-conference-meetings\/\">virtual meeting in English<\/a> doesn\u2019t look exactly the same as an in-person meeting. While you use a lot of the same skills, those skills will sound a bit different in action. And there are some new skills you\u2019ll need to develop, as you have to manage not only a group of people, but also the technology.<\/p>\n<p>At the start of a meeting, you\u2019ll probably get things going with a semi-formal welcome, before giving a rough outline for the meeting. At some point, you\u2019ll have to ask for people\u2019s patience while you take care of a technical issue, like sharing your screen or admitting new people to the meeting room.<\/p>\n<p>One big difference between in-person and virtual meetings is how you deal with questions. Yes, you\u2019ll have to call on people that you can see have a question, but you may also need to deal with questions or comments that come through the chat function.<\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s dialog, we\u2019ll listen to a meeting being run by Adam and Cathy, two business consultants. They\u2019re talking with a group of managers, including Sophie and Fareed, at Healthwise, a chain of health food stores that is trying to improve their online sales. You will hear Adam and Cathy demonstrate the skills you need to run a client meeting by video conference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listening Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. What is the rough outline for the meeting that Adam provides?<br \/>\n2. Adam asks for his clients\u2019 patience while he deals with what technical matter?<br \/>\n3. How does Adam know that Sophie has a question?<\/p>\n<p>[tp no_translate=&#8221;y&#8221;]<strong>Premium Members: <a
