1. PRE-MEETING PREPARATION

When a Meeting is Approaching (trigger: calendar check or user request)

#### Step 1: Gather Meeting Context

Meeting: [title]
Time: [date/time + timezone]
Duration: [length]
Type: [internal/external/sales/interview/1:1/board/standup]
Attendees: [list]
Location/Link: [virtual link or address]
Recurring: [yes/no — if yes, pull last meeting's notes]

#### Step 2: Attendee Intelligence Report

For EACH attendee, research and compile:

Internal attendees:

Role and department

Recent projects/wins they've mentioned

Any open items from previous meetings with them

Communication style notes (if tracked)

External attendees:

Company, role, tenure (web search)

Recent company news (funding, launches, leadership changes)

LinkedIn summary points

Mutual connections or shared history

Previous meeting history (check notes archive)

Output format:

👤 [Name] — [Role] at [Company]
   Background: [2-3 key facts]
   Recent news: [anything relevant from last 30 days]
   History: [previous interactions, if any]
   Watch for: [topics they care about, sensitivities]

#### Step 3: Smart Agenda Builder

Based on meeting type, generate a structured agenda:

Sales/Prospect Meeting: 1. Rapport & context (2 min) — use attendee intel for warm opener 2. Discovery/situation review (10 min) — prepared questions below 3. Solution alignment (15 min) — map their pain to your offering 4. Objection handling (5 min) — pre-loaded responses 5. Next steps & commitment (3 min) — always end with clear action

Internal Strategy/Planning: 1. Context & objectives (2 min) 2. Review: what's changed since last meeting (5 min) 3. Key decisions needed (15 min) — list each with options 4. Action items & owners (5 min) 5. Parking lot (2 min)

1:1 / Check-in: 1. Personal check-in (2 min) 2. Their priorities/blockers (10 min) — let them lead 3. Your updates/requests (5 min) 4. Career/growth topic (5 min) — rotate monthly 5. Action items (3 min)

Interview (you're hiring): 1. Welcome & role overview (3 min) 2. Background deep-dive (10 min) — targeted questions from CV 3. Technical/skill assessment (15 min) — scenario-based 4. Culture fit & values (5 min) 5. Their questions (5 min) 6. Next steps (2 min)

Board/Investor Update: 1. KPI dashboard review (5 min) 2. Wins since last meeting (3 min) 3. Challenges & asks (10 min) 4. Strategic decisions (10 min) 5. Q&A (5 min)

#### Step 4: Prepared Questions

Generate 5-8 smart questions based on:

Meeting type and objectives

Attendee research findings

Previous meeting action items

Industry/market context

Question quality checklist:

[ ] Open-ended (not yes/no)

[ ] Shows you've done homework

[ ] Drives toward a decision or insight

[ ] Not already answered in available materials

#### Step 5: Pre-Meeting Brief

Compile everything into a single scannable brief:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📋 MEETING BRIEF: [Title]
🕐 [Date] [Time] ([Duration])
📍 [Location/Link]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
OBJECTIVE: [1-sentence goal for this meeting]
ATTENDEES:
[Attendee intelligence summaries]
AGENDA:
[Structured agenda with time allocations]
KEY QUESTIONS TO ASK:
[Numbered list]
CONTEXT FROM LAST MEETING:
[Previous action items, decisions, open threads]
PREPARATION CHECKLIST:
[ ] Materials/deck ready
[ ] Demo environment tested (if applicable)
[ ] Relevant data points loaded
[ ] Calendar buffer after meeting (for notes)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

2. LIVE MEETING NOTES

Structured Capture Template

When asked to take notes during or right after a meeting:

# Meeting Notes: [Title]
Date: [YYYY-MM-DD]  Time: [HH:MM]  Duration: [actual]
Attendees: [who was actually there — note no-shows]
Type: [category]
Key Discussion Points
1. [Topic] — [summary of discussion, who said what]
2. [Topic] — [summary]
Decisions Made
| # | Decision | Made by | Rationale |
|---|----------|---------|-----------|
| 1 | [what was decided] | [who] | [why] |
Action Items
| # | Action | Owner | Deadline | Priority |
|---|--------|-------|----------|----------|
| 1 | [task] | [name] | [date] | 🔴/🟡/🟢 |
Open Questions / Parking Lot
[question or deferred topic]
Key Quotes (verbatim when important)
"[exact words]" — [Speaker]
Sentiment / Energy Read
[Brief note on meeting tone — was it productive? tense? aligned?]
Follow-Up Required
[ ] Send summary to attendees
[ ] Update [system/doc] with decisions
[ ] Schedule follow-up meeting (if needed)

Smart Capture Rules

Attribute statements to speakers when possible

Distinguish between opinions, decisions, and action items

Flag disagreements — note both sides

Capture exact numbers, dates, commitments (these get misremembered)

Note what was NOT discussed that should have been

---

3. POST-MEETING ENGINE

Immediate (within 30 minutes)

Auto-generate meeting summary email:

Subject: Meeting Summary: [Title] — [Date]
Hi [attendees],
Thanks for the productive session. Here's what we covered:
Decisions:
[bullet list]
Action Items:
[table: what | who | by when]
Next Meeting: [date/time if scheduled]
Let me know if I missed anything.
[signature]

Quality checklist for summaries:

[ ] Every action item has an owner AND deadline

[ ] Decisions are stated as facts, not "we discussed"

[ ] No jargon unexplained for external attendees

[ ] Tone matches relationship (formal for clients, casual for team)

Follow-Up Tracking

Track all action items in a running log:

{
  "meeting_id": "2026-02-13-client-review",
  "actions": [
    {
      "item": "Send revised proposal",
      "owner": "Kalin",
      "deadline": "2026-02-15",
      "status": "pending",
      "reminded": false
    }
  ]
}

Reminder cadence:

24 hours before deadline → gentle reminder

On deadline day → status check

48 hours overdue → escalation flag

Follow-Up Sequences by Meeting Type

After Sales Meeting: 1. Same day: Summary email + any promised materials 2. Day 2: "Thinking about what you mentioned about [specific pain]..." 3. Day 5: Relevant case study or resource 4. Day 10: "Any questions? Happy to jump on a quick call"

After Interview: 1. Same day: Thank you + timeline for decision 2. Internal: Scorecard completed within 24 hours 3. Decision deadline: Force a hire/no-hire call

After Strategy Meeting: 1. Same day: Notes + decisions distributed 2. Day 3: Check on action item progress 3. Before next meeting: Pre-meeting status update

4. RELATIONSHIP MEMORY

Contact Cards

Maintain a relationship file per key contact:

name: "Jane Smith"
company: "Acme Corp"
role: "VP Engineering"
first_met: "2026-01-15"
meetings_count: 4
communication_style: "Data-driven, prefers email, gets straight to business"
personal_notes:
  - Has twin daughters starting university this year
  - Marathon runner — ran Boston 2025
  - Vegetarian (for restaurant picks)
topics_of_interest:
  - Platform migration
  - Team scaling
  - AI/ML integration
last_interaction: "2026-02-10"
open_threads:
  - "Waiting on their security review"
  - "Interested in Phase 2 proposal"
sentiment_trend: "positive — increasingly engaged"

Before Each Meeting: Auto-Pull

Pull contact cards for all attendees

Surface open threads and last interaction

Flag if it's been >30 days since contact (relationship at risk)

---

5. MEETING ROI TRACKER

Score Every Meeting (Post-Meeting)

Meeting ROI Score: [1-10]
Criteria:
Decisions made: [0-3 points] (0=none, 1=minor, 2=significant, 3=critical)
Actions generated: [0-2 points] (0=none, 1=some, 2=clear+owned)
Could've been async: [0-2 points] (0=definitely, 1=maybe, 2=needed live)
Right people present: [0-1 point]
Stayed on time: [0-1 point]
Energy/morale impact: [0-1 point]

Weekly Meeting Audit

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 WEEKLY MEETING AUDIT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Total meetings: [X]
Total hours: [X]
Average ROI score: [X]/10
🟢 High-value (8+): [list]
🟡 Medium (5-7): [list — consider shortening]
🔴 Low-value (<5): [list — consider eliminating or making async]
Recommendation: [specific meetings to cut, combine, or restructure]
Time recoverable: [X hours/week]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Meeting Hygiene Rules

No agenda = decline or request one

No clear objective = ask "what decision are we making?"

>6 attendees = likely too many (suggest trimming)

Recurring with no changes = suggest async update instead

Back-to-back meetings = flag for buffer time

6. TEMPLATES & QUICK COMMANDS

Quick Commands

| Command | Action | |---------|--------| | "Prep for [meeting]" | Full pre-meeting brief | | "Notes from [meeting]" | Generate structured notes template | | "Follow up on [meeting]" | Check action items, draft follow-ups | | "Meeting audit" | Weekly ROI analysis | | "Who is [name]?" | Pull contact card | | "Cancel [meeting]" | Draft polite cancellation with reason | | "Reschedule [meeting]" | Draft reschedule request with alternatives |

Cancellation Template (when meeting isn't justified)

Hi [name],
I'd like to suggest we handle [topic] async this week — I can send
a written update covering [specific items] which might save us both
30 minutes.
Happy to keep the meeting if you'd prefer live discussion. Let me know.

Declining Meeting Invites (when appropriate)

Thanks for the invite. A couple quick questions:
1. What decision or outcome are we aiming for?
2. Is there a pre-read I should review?
3. Could I contribute async instead?
Want to make sure I'm adding value if I join.

Edge Cases

No-shows: Note them. If recurring, flag the pattern.

Meeting hijacked: Note original agenda vs actual discussion. Flag for next time.

Confidential meetings: Mark notes as CONFIDENTIAL — don't include in weekly audit details.

Multi-timezone: Always show times in all attendees' timezones in briefs.

Recurring meeting fatigue: If ROI score drops below 5 for 3 consecutive weeks, suggest restructuring.

Last-minute meetings: Abbreviated prep — focus on attendee intel and one key question only.

Walking into someone else's meeting: Quick context mode — "What do I need to know in 60 seconds?"
