on39。s really a lot. First of all, I think we should let our clients know that ours is an established pany in the line. So I think we can include the 50th anniversary of our pany in the video, and…Wang: And our research and development activities too.Zhang: Yes, but…Wang: But what?Zhang: But we cannot go into too much detail in our presentation. You know it39。D people. You know, they certainly know more than the others about our products.Wang: They know what characteristic features of our products we should present to our clients.Zhang: Right. And we should assure our potential clients of the high quality of our products, so I would suggest we include Quality Control also.Wang: Good idea. And people on the aftersales side too. You know aftersales service is one of the primary concerns of our clients.Zhang: Good. So we shall involve people from Marketing, Ramp。t it?Zhang: Sure. Which members of staff should be involved in making the video, do you think?Wang: Well. I think there should be representatives from Marketing because primarily it is their job to promote the sales, isn39。s remend it to the HR. I think they can run some training programs for the staff involved.Zhang: Right. I couldn39。s any other alternative.Zhang: And also I think we39。ll have to dispose of them at very low prices.Wang: Yes, I don39。s do that. And in replacing the existing system, I think there are a few factors we need to take into account. First, do we have to buy uptodate puters if we decide to use new systems?Zhang: I think we39。m afraid not all the information on the Internet is reliable.Zhang: Right, but at least we can get some information about the system providers. Wang: That39。re using now. I think it39。s why we are charging a higher price than our petitors. So we should emphasize our quality and aftersales service in our ad so that... Zhang: So that people will know the high quality of our product and aftersales service and more people will buy our products. Wang: But I am still worried about the price. You know customers always like low prices.Zhang: Yes, indeed. In fact, we can cut down a bit on our price. You know when sales increase after our advertising, we are likely to increase our profit even if we cut down our price a little bit.Wang: Yes, a low price high volume strategy.Zhang: That39。s a good idea. And I think, the top managers of our pany should e up with a set of rules as to what kind of jobs should be given priority to. In this way, we can make sure that important tasks are dealt with first. Zhang: Good idea. So to sum up, our pany should run a few training programs, and every staff member should write a job description of their own.Wang: And rules should be made as to what kind of job should be given priority to.Responding to CompetitionZhang: You know our sales have fallen a lot during the past quarter. Wang: Yes, one of our petitors is charging a lot less than us. Zhang: I know. It is a new pany in this line of business. We really need to do something about it.Wang: What do you think we can do?Zhang: I think we can launch an advertising campaign to promote our product.Wang: Yes, it39。s what our boss is asking us to do. Right?Wang: Right. I think we39。t you think so?Wang: Yeah. Everything seems to be in disorder here in our pany. And that obviously has a lot to do with poor time management.Zhang: You mean poor time management has caused all these problems. Why?Wang: When time is not well planned within a pany, they usually do not allocate blocks of time to specified tasks. They do not have a definite idea of when they should plete a certain task. And …Zhang: And I think they often neglect the ordering of priorities. I mean certain tasks need our prior attention. But in our pany every task is treated on an equal basis, even if it is a very urgent task.Wang: That39。s last chance to influence buyers. It bees a fivesecond mercial.
