Hi there! I completely understand your struggle with getting team members to attend meetings. It can be frustrating when participation starts to dwindle. I have found that mailing invitations to team members can be a helpful way to boost attendance. I typically include all of the important details such as date, time, location, and agenda. I also like to add a personal touch by including a handwritten note or a small gift, like a sample of a new product. This shows that I value their time and appreciate their presence at the meeting. I would be happy to share a sample invitation with you. Just let me know and I'll send it over. Best of luck with your meeting!
