Business meeting workshop

In a working setting, to be able to speak in a second language, English in particular,
is a must. It allows to manage technical processes and opens up new business
opportunities. This is the reason why, this time, the training and complementary
material focuses on meetings; and it gives, not only some important meeting
expressions, but some meaningful tips on pronunciation. Now, it's time for you to
evidence your learning throughout this workshop.

2.Thefollowing dialogue. Then, fill in the gaps using the
verbs on the previous activity.

Meeting Chairman: If we are all here, let's get started. First of all, I'd like you
to please join me in welcoming Jack Peterson, our Southwest Area Sales Vice
President.

Jack Peterson: Thank you for having me, I'm looking forward to today's
meeting.

Meeting Chairman: I'd also like to introduce Margaret Simmons who recently

JOIDEN our team.

Meeting Chairman: We're here today to discuss ways of improving sales in rural
market areas. First, let's go over the report from the last meeting which was DISCUSSED

on June 24th. Right, Tom, over to you.

Alex Young: Thank you Mark. Let me just summarize the main points of the last
meeting. We BEGAN the meeting by approving the changes in our sales
reporting system PRESENTED on May 30th. After briefly revising the
changes that will take place, we on MOVED to a brainstorming session
concerning after customer support improvements.

You'll find a copy of the main ideas STATED and VALUED in these
sessions in the photocopies in front of you. The meeting WAS declared
COMPLETED at 11.30.

Meeting Chairman: Thank you Tom. So, if there is nothing else we need to
discuss, let's move on to today's agenda. Have you all RECEVED a copy of
today's agenda? If you don't mind, I'd like to skip item 1 and move on to item 2:
Sales improvement in rural market areas. Jack has kindly agreed to give us a report
on this matter. Jack?

Chris Morgan: Before I begin the report, I'd like to get some ideas from you all.
How do you feel about rural sales in your sales districts? I suggest we go round the
table first to get all of your input.

Alex Young: In my opinion, we have been focusing too much on urban customers
and their needs. The way I see things, we need to return to our rural base by
developing an advertising campaign to focus on their particular needs.

Anne Stevenson: I'm afraid I can't agree with you. I think rural customers want to
feel as important as our customers living in cities. I suggest we give our rural sales
teams more help with advanced customer information reporting.

Alex Young: Excuse me, I didn't catch that. Could you repeat that, please?
Anne Stevenson: I just stated that we need to give our rural sales teams better
customer information reporting.

Chris Morgan: I don't quite follow you. What exactly do you mean?

Anne Stevenson: 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.

Chris Morgan: Would you like to add anything, Tom?

Alex Young: I must admit I never thought about rural sales that way before.

Chris Morgan: Well, let me begin with this Power Point presentation
(Chrispresents his report). As you can see, we are developing new methods to
reach out to our rural customers.

Anne Stevenson: I suggest we break up into groups and discuss the ideas we've
seen COVERED

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

o Our sales teams need more accurate information on our customers.
o A survey will be DELIVERED to collect data on spending
habits in these áreas

o The results of this survey will PRESENTED to our sales teaMs.

Meeting Chairman: Thank you very much Jack. Right, it looks as though we've
the main items Is there any other business?

Alex Young: 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 Chris for coming to our meeting today. The
meeting is CLOSED
