In my opinion, using visual aids is the best approach to getting the attendees' attention during a business meeting. We must acknowledge that some people lack imagination. The presenter should also speak with a decent tone and appropriate intonation. Additionally, he or she must allow attendees to speak during the meeting.

[Starry]

Ask frequently for the participants' suggestions, feedback, and opinions. Stop at certain points and see if they have any questions.

[arunima]

I would go for an interactive session. No matter what interesting aids and tools you use, people tend to use their interest after a while if it's one sided session and they don't feel involved in it. Also keeping it short and crisp is good.

Good Knowledge and command of the matter is a must.
Then, one can ask for feedback and ask the participants to ask their queries.
Sometimes, one can even ask random questions from the participants.
But yes, there is a big factor of experience that also can help a lot.

One of the strategies to keep others attentive at the meeting is to ask questions. As they never know if the question is for them or not, they are obliged to remain attentive to what is being said.

Yes but if a random question is being asked to someone, it should not be to tricky or discomforting for that person

This is a good strategy it will make everyone to get at alert to what is being said.

[Spontaneo]

Just so the people in the meeting do not fall asleep, have breaks with refreshments.

[augusta]

I personally do allow others to take the floor. Let it be an interactive session. it will keep everyone alive.

There is need to implement rules that guide your business meeting in your organization then ensure adhere to it.

[Semi]

To catch people's attention in any business meeting, you have to get people to contribute to the topic of the day ask questions and get to hear their different opinions randomly

[Miley K]

To get people attention on any business meeting you have to carry everyone along with the topic of the day decision,ask them question, allowed them make contribution and comments.

[Richie10]

To carry everyone along and get attention if meeting participants, don't address the meeting alone unless it would get boring along the way. Allot other management staff to address some parts of the meeting.b

[Lexsave]

Don't let the meeting take too much time unless you would lose the attention of the people after 40 minutes. Keep it brief and simple.

[olaniyi]

In a business meeting it is very important for the organizer to have a speaking skill so go get the attention of the listeners and give chance for question

[Cody]

You must give room to opinions of the participants to keep them engaged and focused on the business meeting.

[Ravic]

The organizer of the meeting should have a well spelt out agenda and it must be issues affecting the attendees present. They would give you attention. Not to bring some abstract agenda that doesn't concern the people in the meeting.

[arunima]

The intent of the meeting should be clear and it should be well conveyed to the audience in an engaging way. People feel acknowledged and valued if they are involved. So, asking for their feedback and suggestions in between makes them feel valued and they stay interested.

[Cody]

A business meeting should be a meeting in the true sense for it to have the interest of the people in the meeting. It should not be dictatorial where a riot act is read to staff. There should be deliberations to reach decisions.

[SHAHID987]

In business meeting if all people will participate then good interest develop, and the overall outcome will remain good. On the other hand if only few people talk and other just listen then it turned into boring meeting.
