After a well attend BforB meeting has just wrapped up, it seems a good idea to go through it to see what makes a good meeting.
1. Courtesy and Integrity. Two emails yesterday explaining that people could not come. They were having to catch up with clients after the big freeze and had to undertake early morning journeys.
2. Commitment. Both the non attendees asked me to pass on thanks to others for previous support and one passed on a lead.
3. A Supportive Environment. A first time guest admitted to major nerves giving his first 60 second elevator pitch, got a round of applause.
4. A Willingness To Share. Mike's 10 minute slot ran to 20 as he talked less about his business and more about what people can do to go and find out about the dark arts of SEO. Free consultations were offered
5. A Willingness to Learn. 6 people signed up for free one to one sessions on Social Networking from yours truly between now and Christmas.
6. Friendliness. Every one made sure they spoke to more than one person and made newcomers welcome. Informal networking ended at about 9.30 an hour after the meeting's official close.
7 Meaningful Contributions. Everyone requested one to ones and took up opportunities.
