Ready? Here they are.
1. Dedicate 15 minutes for preparations
Preparing for a great start is essential. That’s not any different when it comes to meetings. 15 minutes of preparation enables you to know exactly what you want to talk about.
2. Build a clear agenda, and follow it
This is a great follow-up of our previous point. You know which topics there are with a solid agenda. That way, you’ll get to the core of the topic much more easily.
3. Get better meetings with direct follow-ups
Take action right after the meeting is over. That’s why it is a good thing to immediately start with your agreements. By doing this, everything’s still fresh in your memory.
4. Communicatie your goals clearly
What concrete goals do you want to work towards? Make sure those are formulated as clearly as possible. Not just for your (potential) client, but for your own team as well. That’s how you get everyone to follow the same procedure.
5. Keep investing in a healthy meeting-culture!
If you start something, it helps to do this with energy. Having meetings is no different. If you all work on this, you’ll eventually get better meetings.
