subject: Holding A Successful Business Meeting [print this page] Business meetings can be make or break for a company. They offer the opportunity to forge long lasting relationships, perform high value negotiations and generate new clients. As such it's highly important to hold successful and professional meetings that convey your organisation as the leading provider in its field.
Location is paramount - for a vital business meeting, don't use a small, cramped space and likewise don't choose a large and encompassing meeting room that will give your negotiations a sterile feeling. If you don't have modern, state-of-the-art meeting facility in your own offices, why not rent out a space for the duration of your requirements. Office space in Mayfair and other top London areas exudes a high-class aura and in most cases such venues offer all the technology, catering and meet and greet facilities that you will need to host your meeting. Such specialist office space offers a range of sizes and specifications, allowing you to individually tailor your meeting.
As well as venue, make sure you are well prepared for the meeting, drawing up an in-depth agenda and sending it round to all involved parties prior to the date. Ensure the agenda is easy to read and includes corporate branding to back up your professional credentials. Welcome any additions to the agenda from each stakeholder, as this will ensure a smooth-running meeting where there are limited or no surprises.
Preparing presentations and rehearsing them well prior to the meeting is also key to success. Keep with the branded theme, ensuring the company logo is on every slide and be prepared for any questions by going over your presentation until you feel confident. Practice in front of a mirror if needs be to have first-hand experience of how confident you look and feel.
