15. Networking meetings

17. Sales meetings
In general meetings are held to set goals and objectives for teams and work groups, resolve conflicts, report on new work processes, policies and procedures
Also the main reasons to have meetings are:
--keep the business profitable to expectable level
--sustain high level of occupational health and safety environment and minimise the possible harm
--maintain high levels of customer satisfaction
How do you ensure that the formal meetings you organise are productive and effective, not simply time-wasters?
All business activities must make sense. And meetings held for the sake of holding a meeting are waste of time and resources. If there is no clear purpose or identified outcome, there is no reason to hold the meeting.
That is why before meeting can take a place the purpose should be clearly identified.
We should clearly answer the questions:
--Why the meeting needs to be held
--What do we intend to achieve
--How urgent is the meeting
--Draw a time frame and items for the meeting
--Previously ask the attendees if they have any other issues which they wish to discus so we can include them as well in the final agenda.
--Prepare any other documents we might need at the meeting such as: financial report, correspondence, statistical reports, research and marketing reports, blank
