Reduce Status Meetings FAQs
Won't clients still want to meet?
Some will—and that's fine. But most meetings are just for status. When clients can self-serve, they only schedule calls when genuinely needed.
How do I transition clients away from meetings?
Start by offering the portal as a supplement. As clients see value, suggest replacing weekly calls with bi-weekly or monthly. Most clients appreciate the time savings.
