MeetingMix: Run Productive Meetings

MeetingMix makes meetings more useful and productive. We help anyone running a meeting avoid common pitfalls.
  • Write an agenda and send it out before the meeting
  • Record decisions so nothing is forgotten
  • Access and search across all meetings in one place
"I used to dread writing an agenda and minutes, but MeetingMix has made the process much easier. Anyone running a meeting needs to use this software."
Todd McKinnon, former Salesforce.com Vice President

7 out of 10 workers say that meetings are unproductive. A single employee can waste up to 4 weeks every year just in unproductive meetings. MeetingMix fixes the 3 common problems that lead to these unproductive meetings:

PREPARE FOR A MEETING:

- Our agenda template makes it as simple as possible to prepare for a meeting
- Add topics, subtopics, presenters, and time limits
- Review the agendas from related meetings
- Import topics from related meetings
- Collect topic suggestions from attendees
- Attach documents that need to be reviewed with the agenda
- Send the agenda to attendees

KEEP THE DISCUSSION ON TRACK:

- Assign topics to presenters and enter a maximum time limit
- Use a built-in stopwatch during the meeting to track the time spent on a topic
- Add off-topic discussions to the parking lot

FOLLOW THROUGH ON DECISIONS:

- Our minutes template helps you write down each topic's decisions so they aren't forgotten
- Assign action items to attendees and add an optional due date
- Send the minutes out so all attendees have a record of the meeting's decisions
