Etiquette at the office meeting!

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Beach Properties of Florida

Just wanted to point out for those who can't get it together. When your company offers an office meeting, it is to inform people in the company as to what is going on. So when there is an office meeting the polite thing to do is to turn off your cell phone, close your laptop and don't make comments out loud that are distracting to other people.

This is also a great time for Brokers to offer training to their agents, it is very distracting to agents when your cell phone is going off or your typing away on an email or chatting in your own conversation during these types of training classes!

Is there not a book on Office Meeting Etiquette??

I'd like to add:

1. Time is money.  Everyone should show up on time and the meeting should start on time.

2. If it is absolutly neccessary for you to leave the meeting for a phone call, please leave for that phone call.  And please, don't get upset if we do something without you!

Thank you Thank you Thank you.  We have been fighting this at our office.  We joke that people are on Office time which is thirty mins behind everyone elses time.

Also, an office meeting should be structured and should involve networking amongst the team.  Setting up training opportunities is also a great idea.

Jennifer, we charge 10 dollars if a phone rings in our sales meeting and another 10 if you answer it. The money goes to the Childrens Home Society.

Honestly, I didn't know that there needed to be a book.  I assumed that this is how things were handled.  If not, then the broker needs to set some rules.
