Business Meeting Tips Part I

1. Business meetings provide the opportunity to interact with clients, colleagues and others with whom you do business.  
2. Evaluate the purpose of your business meeting. If you can’t find a good reason to have it, maybe you shouldn’t.  
3. Don't ask people to attend a business meeting if you can accomplish the same goals with e-mail or a conference call.
4. Have an agenda for your business meeting but be flexible.  It’s okay to digress if more important issues arise.
5. Involve everyone during a business meeting.  Don’t make statements, ask questions.  Don’t make objections, ask more questions.
