Meeting Bots

A loved one attended
a virtual meeting recently.

25% of the attendees
were bots.

They were sent
by people
who couldn’t attend
the meeting
to take notes.

These people
weren’t
participating
in the meeting.

They weren’t asking questions
or contributing
to the discussions.

They were merely
receiving information.

That information
could have been shared
in more efficient, more accessible ways.

If your meetings
are heavily attended
by meeting bots,
it is a sign
they shouldn’t be meetings.

You Might Be Their Only Contact Of The Day

I receive thousands of messages a day.
I suspect you receive
a high number of messages also.

We’re not normal.

We’re business builders.
We have a lot of contacts.
We have partners, customers,
vendors, industry folks
reaching out to us.
We subscribe to newsletters.
We are on mailing lists.

The average person
sends and receives
121 business emails a day.

Many of my readers
(customers)
are WAY below that average.
A busy day for them
is sending 10 emails.

Every one of those emails
is important to them.
Every one of those emails
they’re awaiting replies on.

Remember that
when you’re replying to messages.
That message might be one of a thousand for you
but your message is one of ten or less for that sender.

Make your message count.
