Planning Your Team Meeting Agenda

An agenda? You need an agenda just to host a team meeting? You bet and here's why.

If you host a team meeting without an agenda, you can end up getting lost fast. The meeting has no real direction, topics are glossed over or forgotten altogether, and this can lead to your team members thinking you are also disorganized without any real direction.

That said, you don't have to stick to it. If someone in your downline has an issue she wants addressed, you certainly don't want to be a stickler and say "well, this isn't on the agenda, it will have to wait until next time." That can also equal disaster for your meeting!

So if you have an agenda, what kind of things should be on it? Here is a list of potential things you could discuss at your meetings - as well as the ever crucial time to recognize any team members for achievements or goals reached.

• Introduce new team members
• New products - demos/information
• Competitive analysis - any new competing products or companies hot on the scene?
• Any sales / bonuses / promos
• Selling / recruiting information (useful handouts or tips for sales or recruiting - our printable worksheets work well for this!)
• Recognizing team members
• Open discussion time (for team members to ask question or address concerns.

By following these ideas for an agenda, you can help keep your meeting on track, be less likely to forget to mention anything important, and most of all, give a polished and professional image to your team members!
