Let’s accept that nothing feels greater than the sound of those hands beating against each other after a successful meeting and if they give a standing ovation, it just makes everything a little sweeter. And nothing gets your heart beating more than when those eyes stare across you and you know something has not clicked.
What makes a meeting “Successful” or “Unsuccessful”?
Well below are some of the factors which can make or break that important client meeting.
Agenda setting ✓
Scheduling ✓
Managing attendees ✓
Time management ✓
What else?
Did you check the location you are going to conduct your meeting at? If no, then let me tell you that location plays a crucial role in making a meeting successful. Out of the 10 factors considered important for a meeting to be successful such as setting a clear objective, preparing, communicating and more, location was rated the most supreme factor by the experts.
Now-a-days, off-site meetings (somewhere similar to destination weddings ;) ) are becoming more popular among the entrepreneurs. Businessmen are choosing to influence their clients with lucrative locations. These locations can vary from a formal conference hall equipped with the latest gadgets in a grand hotel or a picturesque spot in a beach side restaurant.
Other than choosing the place, the accessibility to the place is also important. You have to keep in view-
• the comfort of your attendees
• meeting room capacity
• layout of space
• quality and capability of equipment
• décor
• support staff
• price flexibility etc.
to ensure productive meeting results with good participant experience.
And to fulfill these purposes, there exist a number of meeting planners in the market. They will search the best location for you with all the basic facilities you desire for or may be more than that. The most popular meeting space search platforms are MeetingsBooker and Unique Venues. The latest entrant I came across in this field is Meetops. It promises some unique facilities at the user as well as the business end. Though Meetops is just opening its doors but it has managed to garner some serious investor attention. You can register on their website before 12th August and they are promising some lucky winners a place to conduct their meetings for FREE.
Do not forget to share your experience with us. Till then…
Happy Meetings to You!
