Efficient Marketing Meeting Template

After 10+ years of running weekly team meetings, I often needed help with a suitable format.

It changed many times over the years.

But one that worked well with positive team feedback is below.

Take it for a spin, and let me know your thoughts.

TEMPLATE A:

→ Metrics
What's the pacing of the pipeline?
- How many leads are flowing through the funnel? (Quantity, or Flow)
- What is our conversion rate for someone that enters the funnel into a closed deal? (Conversion Rate)
- What is the Cost of Acquiring a Customer? (CAC).

→ Individual updates (@all)
What's the real challenge for you this week?

→ One sentence answers to the following:
1. (i) most valuable learning:
2. (ii) priorities for the week:
3. (iii) project confidence:
4. (iV) stakeholder health:
5. (Vi) GTM alignment:

→ AOBH
1. How can we make sales easier?
2. As a team, what should we STOP / START / CONTINUE doing?
3. How do we broaden the scope of the teams' impact?


An alternative version.
