Toys. We have to make sure that the sales and marketing campaign for Big Boss is the best we have ever done. So we are going to have to make an extra effort. We have brought the launch date forward to January 15th. It will be very tight, but I am sure that we can make this deadline. Do you agree? So, let’ s just outline what we are going to do. Kate, I think you should get the sales people in the States together as soon as possible. CLIVE HARRIS: You ought to make sure that they understand how important this Big Boss project is. KATE MCKENNA: Should I talk to our UK agents as well? CLIVE HARRIS: No, I think you ought to leave that to Don. KATE MCKENNA: Okay. CLIVE HARRIS: Derek, I think you should visit the component suppliers that Don saw last week. Confirm that they can meet these new deadlines. It抯 essential that they deliver on time, on spec and on price. DEREK JONES: Okay. CLIVE HARRIS: Don, what are your plans? DON BRADLEY: I have arranged to go to see some of our overseas franchise holders next week. CLIVE HARRIS: What countries are you going to? DON BRADLEY: I’ m going to Italy, Egypt and Germany. CLIVE HARRISL: I don’ t think you should go, Don. I think you ought to stay at head office. It’ s essential that you co-ordinate the new launch strategy. DON BRADLEY: Okay. I don’ t want to cancel those meetings. Could I send Edward? CLIVE HARRIS: Do you think he’ s ready for that? DON BRADLEY: Edward is very capable and I think a little international business travel will broaden his horizons. CLIVE HARRIS: Yes, certainly. Send Edward, but you ought to brief him very carefully. DON BRADLEY: Sure. CLIVE HARRIS: Good. I’ ll talk to the Bank. I’ ll try to re-schedule the loan. DON BRADLEY: Geraldine, have you see Edward? GERALDINE: He was here a second ago. DON BRADLEY: Thanks. Jenny, I am not going to be able to make the meeting with the franchise holders next week. JENNY BOSS: Oh, I have just finished typing up your itinerary. DON BRADLEY: Sorry. Ah, Edward, are you interested in a little foreign travel? EDWARD GREEN: Yes. Very. DON BRADLEY: How would you like to go to Italy on Tuesday? EDWARD GREEN: That would be very nice. DON BRADLEY: Good. And Egypt on Thursday? EDWARD GREEN: Oh yes! DON BRADLEY: And then back via Frankfurt. EDWARD GREEN: How much cash do you think I should take? DON BRADLEY: Ah, you don’ t have a corporate charge card. Cash is going to be a bit of a problem. We’ ll give you an advance against expenses. EDWARD GREEN: Should I entertain any of the clients? DON BRADLEY: I’ ll give you a full briefing before you go. But yes, I don’ t see why not. You should buy Mr. Lang in Germany a meal. We owe him hospitality. In fact, he always pays for everything. JENNY ROSS: When you get to Italy, Mr. Barbetti, the Assistant Sale Manager, will meet your flight. He’ ll be at arrivals at Milan airport. EDWARD GREEN: How will I know who Mr. Barbetti is? JENNY ROSS: I’ ll make sure he’ s carrying a Bibury Systems brochure. DON BRADLEY: Don’ t spend too much on room service. And get a receipt for everything. HOTEL RECEPTIONIST: How may I help you? KATE MCKENNA: I’ d like to send a fax to London, please. HOTEL RECEPTIONIST: Of course. If you could fill out this form and give it back to me, we’ ll send it off straight away. 相关资料 |
