Beam vs the status meeting

Your status meeting costs
more than you think.

A one-hour weekly status meeting with eight people uses eight hours of team time. A written check-in lets everyone answer when it suits them, and you read every update in one place.

No credit card needed.

1

Beam asks

Your questions go out on the day you choose, in each person’s own time zone.

2

People answer

When it suits them, not when the calendar says. Beam reminds anyone who hasn’t.

3

You read one feed

Every answer in one place, with comments, so you step in only where something’s stuck.

Beam Check-ins: the Weekly team update cycle, with this week’s answers from the team
KEEP THE CONVERSATIONS

Meet about what’s stuck, not what’s done.

Some things need a conversation. With the updates already written down, the meetings you keep can start with the problem, and the rest of the hour goes back to the work.

Questions about check-ins

Something else? Book a demo and we’ll walk you through it.

Do we have to cancel every meeting?

No. Start with one. Replace your weekly status meeting with a check-in for two weeks and see what you still need to meet about.

What do people get asked?

Your own questions, or ones from Beam’s question library, like what got done, what’s blocked and what’s next. Add a goal reflection or a mood pulse if you want them.

What if someone doesn’t answer?

Beam emails a reminder when a check-in is due and again when it’s overdue, and you can see who hasn’t answered.

How long is the trial?

14 days, which is two weekly check-ins. No credit card needed.

Try it for two weeks. The trial is free.
