Entrepreneurs -Meetings – Make Them Effective And Profitable
Meetings – in business they are very important, but you can have too much of a good thing. Meetings are also time consuming and expensive and often take you and your staff away from more profitable activities. So how do you make meetings effective and profitable?
Master Your Game: Meeting Effectiveness
Excellent meetings are productive, engaging, and synergistic; participants emerge from these sessions filled with great enthusiasm, energy, and a greater clarity of purpose. Effective meetings facilitate collective decisions that people will actively support by following through and taking action. Unfortunately, not all meetings are effective. Meetings can be energy-draining, time-wasting and costly.

Never Leave a Meeting Feeling Good
Do your meetings result in everyone feeling good after they leave? Does very little get done in your meetings? If so, your meetings function like most, and they are probably worthless! Most often leaders are concerned with there being too many meetings, or meetings being too long, or some other wrong measurement. I would like to suggest that you change your measurement systems. For example, a good leading indicator that something important is being discussed is conflict. Other indicators of good meetings are the number of decisions made and the number of people held accountable for decisions made at the prior meetings. These are real indicators that your meetings are worthwhile. If you have a really good meeting, then everyone leaves feeling uncomfortable because there is so much more to be done, and they have a stake in it!

Sales Meetings
Have you ever sat through a pointless meeting and calculated how much of the company’s money was being wasted on individuals sitting around a table completely zoned out?

Successful meetings require a range of skills, a disciplined approach and an effective leader. Here are some handy tips on how to prepare for and conduct effective sales meetings so that you and your team get the most out of them.
Are We Online Network Marketers Destined To Become Members Of The Lonely Hearts Club Band?
At times as we work our network marketing businesses, we can get a feeling of loneliness. Gone are the traditional ways we market our business having meetings practically every night of the week. These meetings being replaced by online webinars and conference calls. Gone too are the social “meetings after the meetings”.
The Dreaded Monday Morning Sales Meeting
Do They GET TO GO or HAVE TO GO? For years as a speaker/trainer/coach, salespeople have approached me with feedback regarding their regular company sales meetings. This is what I hear: -The meetings are boring with little to no direction -The meetings turn into individual gripe sessions -The meetings turn into complaint sessions by management -The meetings tend to “bring down” the reps rather than “pump up” the reps -The meetings tend to be filled with reports, data, stats, and rules -The meetings never start on time -The meetings never follow an agenda -The meetings never end on time Does any of this sound familiar to you? Do your people tend to “go through the motions” in your sales meetings? Do they complain about having to come to these meetings regularly? Do you sometimes agree with them?

Building A Winning Team – Making Decisions Stick
Many leaders complain that they hate to go to meetings because they are non-productive. It is common to find that decisions taken at meetings do not stick. Instead, group decisions at meetings become the subjects of post-meeting lobbying.
Motivate Your Sales Team by Making Your Meetings STICK!
If you really want to motivate your sales team, you need to hold regular, productive meetings. What does that look like? Sales meetings should equip your sellers to sell more and should be about more than operation and product updates. The key is to make your meetings STICK.

Every leadermanager™ is responsible for succession planning
Succession planning concerns every role. As I share with my audiences “succession planning is not just about executives, it is about every role in your organization.” As a financial services branch manager in the 70’s two files in the bottom right hand side of my desk played a vital role in my success, one was my employee bank and the other contained the minutes of my weekly meetings with my staff. Do you have an employee bank? Do you have weekly meetings with your staff?
How to search your employee’s computer and email (legally)
You begin to notice that your employee has more meetings outside the office than normal. You don't know who these meetings are with. Are you suspicious? You then notice that the same employee always leaves the office to take calls on his mobile phone. Does this make you more suspicious? And then, whenever you approach this employee's desk, you notice that he switches screen from his web browser to word before you get close. Now are you suspicious? Whilst we would all like to have explicit trust in all our employees, there are some behaviours that just arouse suspicions and the answers to these questions will often lie somewhere in your employee's hard drive.
