Meeting notes

To assess my performance the marketing manager needs to meet with the employee of the company and the client which he is serving.  During the meeting certain questions were asked to them to identify the key skills which have improved my performance at the workplace.  The employee of the company provided the information that the more effort needs to be made to communicate with the other team member to lead them in the effective way.  After meeting with the client it was identified that there is always delay in delivering the services on time which is affecting the demand of the company services and creating negative image in the mind of the customer.
