Before joining a monthly meeting, take a moment to decide what would make the conversation useful for your company. A focused question is a good place to start.
Bring a question and an update
Prepare a brief introduction, a current service update and one question you would like to discuss. You might ask about a market, a shipment enquiry or a potential introduction.
Keep shipment and customer details appropriate to the audience. Move commercially sensitive discussions into a direct conversation with the relevant partner.
Follow up with context
After the meeting, refer to the conversation when contacting another participant. Share the information you agreed to provide and suggest a practical next step.
