Article Check - Meeting Minutes - Why You Need Them And How To Use An Outsourced Minute Taker
House cleaning alone might be limiting your business success. Eventually the market is too saturated if you have many competitors. Or there are just not enough customers with income high enough to spend parts of it on the luxury having someone else clean their house. So, what can you do to put your business on a better foundation?Offer additional services that go beyond normal house cleaning. The advantage can be that you can ask for higher prices. We already mentioned the cleaning of refrigerators and ovens in an earlier part of our series of articles on how to start a house cleaning business. But these two pieces do not generate business by themselves. They are an ad

L.N. Mittal has an abundant appetite for acquiring steel firms. From Kazakhstan to Romania, from Indonesia to the US, the Indian-born takeover tycoon’s Mittal Steel has gobbled up steel plants and added them to his expanding empire. But not even his most ardent admirers bet on the success of his bid for Europe’s biggest steel maker Arcelor S.A.Except perhaps Mittal himself. Luxembourg-based Arcelor had tried everything to fend off the metal maven. At first there was shock and confusion in the European ranks as the French, who hold stake in the company, told Mittal that his bid had no chance. Luxembourg politicians said they would pass legislation to make his bid illega
Minutes provide a summary of what was discussed at a meeting, what actions were agreed, who will action any issues and by when. They also contain a list of those present at the meeting and apologies for absence.
Why do you need meeting minutes?
Minutes act as an aid memoir for those who attended the meeting and are also a useful for summary for anyone who was unable to attend. Everyone attending should ‘sign off on’ the minutes to confirm what is recorded is reliable, and this prevents any later arguments regarding what actions were agreed.
For regular meetings e.g. project meetings for an ongoing project, it is good practice to check through the previous minutes at the beginning of a meeting and note whether the actions mentioned have been taken. This is often the first thing on the agenda.

One of the best and easiest ways to advertise without having to worry about shelf life of those who would most likely use your services or buy the products from your small business is to use inserts in your local newspaper. A marketing piece might also be to insert our flyers in the daily newspaper. This usually ranges from $23.00-35.00 per thousand if we print the flyers and $25.00-50.00 per thousand if the newspaper prints them. The newspaper rarely prints flyers in house, although some do. They contract it out because their printing presses are all computerized and specialized for that industry only. Large newspapers such as The Los Angeles Times have really neat progr

How far does your service go? And how much farther can you stretch it?If you serve customers, do you stretch to do it better every day? Are you eager to learn from colleagues and mentors, seminars, books, websites, and a healthy dose of candid customer feedback?If you provide internal service, do you reach across functional lines, or stay stuck inside your departmental 'silo'? Is your communication with colleagues and partners positive, proactive and persistent?If you serve in your community, do you volunteer time and stretch a little more by asking others to join you?If you serve your family, do you reach out with a higher level of attention and a

Recently, I have noticed some of my radio habits when driving in my car. When I'm listening to music I tend to switch radio stations whenever a commercial comes on. When I’m listening to talk radio I tend to leave the dial as is whether I’m listening to a talk show or whether a commercial is playing.I've been thinking about why this is the case and if other radio listeners have the same tendencies as I do. Here is what I think: When I’m in the mood for music, I want to hear music; I don't want to listen to radio advertisements. When I listen to talk radio, I get immersed in the topic being discussed and my concentration is on that topic. A commercial break does not ca

When you decide if your employer is a good fit, you may want to look deeper than the company name, you may want to "investigate the boss!"The importance of a good fit in your career is an understatement. As you put your career in the hands of your employer, you must know what you are stepping into before you begin. In this series of articles we will explore some of these issues:1. Should you put your career in anyone's hands but your own? 2. Is it better to be a big fish in a little pond or a little fish in a big pond? 3. Private company or public company? 4. Corporate Executive or Entrepreneur?The culture of an organization is many ti
The person taking minutes will make notes of what transpires in the meeting, write them up (sometimes in a specific format agreed in advance), distribute them to all who attended for sign off, then distribute a final copy to all who attended and anyone who sent apologies. This person will probably also be responsible for keeping copies of minutes on a file for future reference.
Sometimes a full recording of who said what is required. On other occasions minutes may consist only of a brief note of what was discussed and what actions were agreed.
Importantly minutes should be issued as soon after the meeting takes place as possible, although for detailed minutes the writing up might take as long as the meeting, or longer. (This won’t be the case if the minutes are discussion and action points only.)
Who should the minute taker be?
The person taking minutes will ideally have some knowledge of the subject of the meeting but should not be the chair of the meeting. It is just not possible to satisfactorily chair a meeting and take minutes.
Ideally the minute taker will not be a partic
