        What are the rules for conducting a sucessful business meeting?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        1. Have a clear structure in mind before the start of your business meeting.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        You can make a table of contents and put it in your slides or draw a simple schema on a whiteboard. Whichever way you prefer, the most important thing is that everyone knows what is going to happen and when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        2. Keep everything brief and concise.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Sounds so obvious and simple to do, yet very few of us follow this advice! Limit individual speeches to 1-2 minutes. Meetings are NOT supposed to be individual pitches or monologues. Also, when you share your opinion \u2013 move straight to the point. \u201cTime is money\u201d \u2013 they say. Remember that and don\u2019t waste time on minor details, that everyone will forget immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        That\u2019s not it\u2026 a well-planned meeting should take about 30-45 minutes. If your meeting is too long, you\u2019ll only tire people and make them lose their attention. If you want to know why \u2013 read this article about the magic of 30 minutes meetings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        3. Don\u2019t abuse PowerPoint and similar tools.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        If you need to present something, remember, that slides are meant to be your visual aid. Very often we see that people take it too far and put large chunks of text in their slides. What\u2019s even worse is that they simply read the text of the slides! Slides should include as little text as possible. Focus on visuals: pictures, graphs, tables, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Here is an article that describes how to create appealing PowerPoint presentations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

        4. You also need to summarize the content of your business meeting.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        You can choose the old-fashioned way and take notes with pen & paper. Alternatively, you can record your meeting and transcribe it with Amberscript.<\/a> Although transcribing provides a much detailed record, don\u2019t cross out note-taking just yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        A transcript is a document that captures the content of the whole meeting, while your notes will be your main take-home messages. Not only that, but speech overlap and noise (usual problems of group meetings) make it hard for software to recognize words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        That\u2019s where your notes are going to be helpful to make adjustments to your transcript or recover any lost information.<\/p>\n\n\n
