2. Business Meetings
• A business meeting should be effective and focused on
resolving the issues the company faces in order to be able to
solve the problems.
• Here are some tips on how we can ensure that a business
meeting achieve its goals:

3. 1.- Having an Agenda
• A well written agenda is a key
component of the success of a
meeting.
• It is a tool that maximize the
efficiency of the meeting and
gives a broad picture of what
the meeting will be about so
that the attendees can prepare
before hand and familiarize
with the subjects.

4. 2. Having Key Players Involved
• Meetings can be time consuming and unnecessary. For these
reasons it is important to asses if the meeting is really
necessary.
• If the meeting is in fact required, it’s essential to have the right
people involved because they may share good ideas about the
subjects that will be discussed.

5. 3.- Setting a time limit
• Establishing a time frame will
help to have more effective
business meetings.
• When you don’t have a time
limit, people tend to ramble
about the topics instead of
making clear points which will
waste a lot of time.
• A clear time limit leaves no
room for anything outside of
what really needs to be
discussed.
