Donald Peters: Excuse me, I didn't catch that. Could you repeat that, please?
Alice Linnes: I just stated that we need to give our rural sales teams better customer
information reporting.
John Ruting: I don't quite follow you. What exactly do you mean?
Alice Linnes: Well, we provide our city sales staff with database information on all of
our larger clients. We should be providing the same sort of knowledge on our rural customers
to our sales staff there.
Jack Peterson: Would you like to add anything, Jennifer?
Jennifer Miles: I must admit I never thought about rural sales that way before. I have to
agree with Alice.
Jack Peterson: Well, let me begin with this Power Point presentation (Jack presents his
report).
Jack Peterson: As you can see, we are developing new methods to reach out to our rural
customers.
John Ruting: I suggest we break up into groups and discuss the ideas we've seen
presented. Finishing the Meeting
Meeting Chairman: Unfortunately, we're running short of time. We'll have to leave that
to another time.
Jack Peterson: Before we close, let me just summarize the main points:
- Rural customers need special help to feel more valued.
- Our sales teams need more accurate information on our customers.
- A survey will be completed to collect data on spending habits in these areas.
- The results of this survey will be delivered to our sales teams
- We are considering specific data mining procedures to help deepen our
understanding.
Meeting Chairman: Thank you very much Jack. Right, it looks as though we've covered
the main items. Is there any other business?
Donald Peters: Can we fix the next meeting, please?
Meeting Chairman: Good idea Donald. How does Friday in two weeks time sound to
everyone? Let's meet at the same time, 9 o'clock. Is that OK for everyone? Excellent. I'd like to
thank Jack for coming to our meeting today. The meeting is closed.
Well, represent your dialogue.
