How to Build Your Meetings Around a Central Theme

Once a meeting has been planned, the big job is in getting the salesmen to listen! People aren’t good listeners as they once were. Employees, particularly salespeople, no longer sit in awe and respect while company officials talk for hours on end. The modern salesperson has a greater feeling of independence. He’s attentive as long as the meeting is so interesting that it commands or deserves his attention.
