Meeting Counts

[JPither]

I'm looking to track and report on the number of meetings logged/scheduled by members of my team. I'm aware this bit is simple enough. However, what we're looking to do is have it so that if a member of my team attends a single meeting with two different key stakeholders, that this counts as two meetings instead of one. I know that we're able to associate multiple contacts to a single meeting, and that this meeting will show up on their contact page.

Is there a way to report on these meetings so that one single meeting is tracked as two (or more) depending on the number of attendees? We're looking to do this preferably without having to log separate meetings for the different attendees. 

Thanks!

Hi @JPither,

This should be fairly straightforward – if you're logging the meeting to all attendee contact records, you would simply visualize the Count of contacts, instead of the Count of meetings, by Activity date. (This requires Contacts to be a secondary data source in your custom report.)

Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Best regards!

Hi Karsten,

I've tried this, but unfortunately all it then measures is the # of contacts who have been met. What we want is to track how many times all contacts are met e.g. If i log a meeting and associate it to two client contacts, this meeting needs to be recorded as two meetings, and if I meet those same two contacts one month later, this is another two meetings. Does this make sense? Your original idea would work if we were meeting our contacts only once per reporting period. However, we expect to be meeting the same contacts repeatedly, and these meetings need to be tracked accordingly. thanks!
