Business meetings. Эффективные совещания на английском языке

УРОВЕНЬ ПОДГОТОВКИ – Pre Intermediate /INTERMEDIATE / Upper Intermediate

Целевая аудитория:

Курс предназначен для руководителей, менеджеров среднего и высшего звена, а также всех, кто хочет повысить эффективность проведения совещаний.

This course is suitable for key stakeholders and staff of all levels who wish to maximise results from business meetings, to learn about relevant communication strategies, and to understand more about objective setting and effective communication strategies.

Here we train attendees on how to have a "winning meeting" with a client or prospective client. This session examines not only pitching (formally or informally) but general meeting management itself in a Client Development context. We show that a good meeting takes preparation in advance.

Given the increasing amount of time people spend in client meetings, it is critical that this time be spent efficiently and productively.

Unfortunately in most corporations today up to 75% of the meeting time is either wasted or unproductive. In order to be successful, business meetings need to be well planned, well managed, and action oriented.

This session covers all the key points that the attendee will need to excel in so as to make the meeting a real success. Issues related to pitching, both formally and informally, are touched upon, however, the overall session focuses on general meeting management.
