Sales Meeting

It doesn’t take a wizard to make good physical arrangements for a sales meeting. “Horse sense” is ample. Take location of the meeting room, for example. You may have a suitable room at your office, store, or plant.

If so, use it. “Our sales meetings are always conducted on the premises,” declared a Pittsburg industrialist. “The various things we need for the meeting are readily available here. Then, too, our salespeople must come to the plant anyway to confer with members of the staff, make reports and pick up supplies. We didn’t have a large meeting room, so we built one. It has proved to be an excellent investment.”

In some instances the audience will arrive from distant points and an overnight stay is necessary. Put all of them up at the same hotel, then conduct your meeting there. If a trip to your plant is desired, busses can be chartered. “We favor hotel meetings,” said an Omaha sales manager. “Nearly all of our people are called in from out of town. Since they’re staying at a hotel, it’s easier for us to hold our meetings there and avoid confusion.”

Only you can decide the best locale for your meeting. Select a place that is convenient for all the people attending and, of course, one that is practical and within budget limitations.
