LESSON 2
Part 3
[W] With a new store opening across the street,
well have to work harder to compete in our
market. We need to attract more customers to
our store and our products.
[M] Perhaps our ads could show some of our
satisfied customers and have them talk about
their experiences shopping with us. Ads like that
are often persuasive.
na
[W] What an inspired idea. Lets get to work on

it right away. Ill call a photographer to come
over and shoot pictures of people shopping in
our store.
Part 4
To attract new customers, we must first convince
them that we offer something worthwhile. We
need to inspire them to try our services, just
once, so that they can make their own
comparison. Their experience will persuade
them that we are better than the competition. But
what is it that we offer that makes us unique?
What do you think we offer that the competition
does not? We will discuss these questions during
our workshop this afternoon, but our task
doesnt stop there. When you go home tonight, I
want each of you to think about how you can
best promote our companys products, so that
when you meet with our store clients you give us
the best representation possible.

We frequently receive items that are still under
warranty, but we dont automatically repair
them. Dont forget: a warranty is only valid if the
product has been used according to the
manufacturers directions. Oftentimes a buyer
will drop a machine or use it for something other
than what its intended for. Consequently,
theyre not covered. A common characteristic of
this type of return is that its cracked or smashed,
or shows an unusual pattern of wear.

Now lets turn to page seventeen of the business plan.
This section addresses our strategy for long-term
development of the company. In order to minimize risk
over the long haul, we hope to grow only as quickly as
the company can support. In other words, we want to
avoid more borrowing so that the primary funding for
growth comes from profits. We believe that this is the
best way to develop a strong company that will not be
seriously harmed by temporary downturns in the
market. On page eighteen you will see our evaluation
method outlined. The first phase of the evaluation of
our business plan is set to begin early next year.

Part 4
All conference facilities need to provide
reasonable accommodation for people with
disabilities. Disabled individuals need to be able
to take part in every session that is being
offered. In case a session is held in an off- site
location, we are not responsible for providing
accommodation. But for any event held at our
facility, we need to make the necessary
arrangements for disabled participants. Most
areas of our facility are handicapped accessible,
but in some situations we need to make further
accommodations. For example, conference
planners are asked to get in touch with us
ahead of time if any attendees will require
special interpreters for the hearing impaired. To
facilitate this, conference planners usually ask
attendees to request interpreters at the time that
they register for the conference.

I strongly urge you to read the manual before
attempting to run this software program. You
may be tempted to ignore this advice. But im
warning you all: it is not likely that you will be
able to figure out this program on your own. This
is especially important for owners of our
competitors products that arent compatible with
this program. Your computer could crash or shut
down without warning. In fact, when you start
working with this program, make sure you have
duplicate files so, in case of system failure, you
will not lose your work. Remember, if your
system fails, all your files could be deleted. But if
you have duplicated the files onto a CD, you will
have no trouble accessing

Part 4
We have had a few problems with ordering these
units on an as-needed basis. The first problem is
that nobody seems to take the initiative to place the
order with the provider. Thats because when
theyre ordering just one recorder, they feel it isnt
worth their time. So even though their need is
recurring, they dont feel that the effort is justified.
Heres where a more aggressive provider could
help us out, by anticipating our needs and staying
on top of them. In fact, I have looked into the
matter and discovered a provider that could meet
this need. Its the John Able and Sons Company. I
dont know if any of you are familiar with them.
Their products are quite affordable. I suggest we
look into making our orders from this company in

Please open your Employee Handbook to page

seven. This section deals with your salary and
salary increases. You will have an annual salary
review. The average raise is 4.2 percent a year,
just above the cost of living. Also, be aware that
not all employees get a raise. Compensation is
based solely on performance and your
contribution to the company, and, sure enough,
each year we find that some employees are not
eligible for a raise. We have a clearly outlined
review process in place, which your supervisor
will go over with you. Lets take a look at
benefits. Each employee gets ten days of paid
vacation a year in addition to major national
holidays. You also get five days of sick leave
annually.

Everyone enjoys receiving recognition for the
work that they do. Today, we will honor two
employees who have been working for the
company ever since we opened our doors in 1985.
Their loyalty to the company is an honor for us.
No value can be placed on these employees; they
are priceless to us. Since they began working with
us, they have been promoted to ever higher
positions, not because of their connections or
degrees, but because of the contributions they have
made to the company. In other words, they have
been promoted for their merit. These high
achievers are a credit to our company, and I am
very pleased to be able to honor them here tonight.
Mr. Louis Boitano and Ms. Gina Minot, please

A quick review of our catalog shows the

variety and quality of the merchandise we
carry, but it does nothing to draw attention to
our competitive pricing. Competitive pricing is
integral to our success. Customers want to
minimize costs and maximize value.
Remember our motto: we supply the best, you
pay the least. In the future, our catalogs will
reflect this motto by comparing our prices with
those of our competitors. For selected items
throughout the catalog, we will show the
prices charged by competitors for the same or
similar items. Some people may question this
information, but it is guaranteed to be as
accurate as possible. We will rely on careful
research to obtain the pricing information we
publish. Remember, honesty is the best policy.
This information on competitors pricing will
first appear in next winters catalog, available
in January

Part 4
According to the terms of payment, a customer is
eligible for a discount only if the entire invoice is
paid upon completion of service. Up-front
payment is much more efficient because we dont
have to bill the customer. Also, as soon as we
receive payment, it becomes capital. We estimate
that up-front payments save us about fifteen
percent for each project. This is a significant
amount of money for the company. Therefore, it
is greatly to our advantage to encourage up-front
payment as much as we possibly can.

To qualify for a mortgage, you have to be able
to make a down payment of ten percent. You
also have to show that you have been at your
current job for at least one year and at your
current address for three or more years. Its also
a good idea to have some extra money in a
savings account. Your account balance should
be equivalent to about three months of your
normal take- home salary. All these things
assure the lender that you will be able to make
your monthly mortgage payments.

The most important factor in making your

accounting firm profitable is to build up a solid list of
clients. You want your clients to continue bringing
their accounting business to you year after year and
to avoid the problem of client turnover. Also, keep in
mind that charging higher fees does not mean that
you will make more money. If your clients feel that
your fees are fair, they will recommend your services
to their friends and colleagues. Finally, never forget
what your most valuable asset is. Its easy to spend
money on office equipment and rental fees for your
space, but these are not the things that attract clients.
It is important to make sure you have a team of
excellent accountants on your staff. A qualified staff
is the most valuable asset any accounting firm can
have.

Have you thought about how you will fund
your childrens college education? Dont
wait until they are in high school. The time
to begin saving is when your children are
still small. A good way to start is by
investing some of your income in the stock
market. You will get a good return on your
money there. The best strategy is to commit
a certain amount of your monthly income to
your stock investments. Even after just two
or three years, you should start to see your
investment grow. By the time your children
are ready for college, youll be ready to pay
for it.

filed our taxes, but I did it two months after the
deadline and had to pay a huge penalty.

You will be getting a refund check of four hundred

eight to ten weeks. While I know that its nice to
get a refund check, I always tell my clients that its
better for your finances to avoid overpaying taxes
in the first place, if youd like, I can do some

you should ask your employer to withhold from

Part 4
Many small businesses fail because of poor
financial advice. Remember, a small business is
no different from a large company in that
financial planning is the key to success.
Therefore, creating a projected financial
statement is the first and most important step
one should take when starting up a small
business. It is realistic to expect your small
business to become profitable during its first
five years, but typically not during the first year.
With this in mind, you can set reasonable targets
and project expenses for the first year or two of
your business. This will help you know what
funds you need to raise in order to get and keep
your business going.

The design of an office can contribute a great
deal to employee productivity. It is important
to plan your office space so that it is conducive
to collaboration, yet at the same time allows
staff members to concentrate on their work.
Many companies opt for a design that includes
several smaller offices adjacent to a lobby
rather than one large one, as they find the level
of activity in an open office is often disruptive
to work. At the same time, it is also important
to include at least one larger work room so that
staff members can work collaboratively. Such
spaces would be used for meetings, team work
on projects, and the like.

This product has been on the market for over

two decades, and it continues to sell well.
Researchers arent sure of the reason for this.
They have examined hundreds of pages of
market data but havent ascertained an exact
reason for the products popularity. Is it the low
price or the wide availability? Perhaps it is the
consumers familiarity with it. Researchers dont
know which factors are responsible, but
consumers continue to buy the product as it
enters its twenty- second year on the market. In
fact, it is the most popular product of its kind for
teenagers, and far outsells similar products
aimed at men, women, and children.

Before you sign a lease on a space for your

business, make sure you have chosen the best
location. Look for the indicators of a
neighborhood that is good for business. Are
there other, successful businesses occupying
spaces nearby? Is there access to public
transportation? Is the area attractive to
customers and clients? If the conditions dont
look right for your business, look into other
options. Dont lock yourself into a long-term
lease on a space that isnt right for you. Once
you have found the best space for your business,
then you can look at signing a long-term lease.
Rental rates often fluctuate. If you sign a lease
for five years, then you are guaranteed a rent
you can afford

Phn 4
People often ask if the higher fares charged on

the new high-speed trains are offset by the
savings in time. The answer is yes. in fact, the
duration of a high-speed train trip in some cases
is not much more than a plane trip, and the fare
is always cheaper than a plane ticket.
Unfortunately, these trains operate out of far
fewer cities than do planes and the traditional
slower trains. On the other hand, all tickets on
high-speed trains are first class. This means that
your fare entitles you to a deluxe ride in a
comfortable seat from which you can enjoy the
scenery as it moves past your window. Unlike
first-class plane tickets, however, meals are not
usually included in the price of your train ticket.
You have to pay extra for food.

experience. Our goal at the Palm Garden Hotels is
to provide the highest level of service possible.
Our customers pay high rates to stay at our hotels,
and they expect an advanced level of service in
return. This goal, quite naturally, precludes
anything but a professional attitude on the part of
our employees. We expect the highest level of
service from all of you. Now, we are ready to start
our tour of the hotel. Well begin right next door

If you are traveling to another country and

intend to rent a car while there, there are
several things to do before you leave. First, get
an international drivers license. Then contact
your local car rental agency to find out if they
have offices abroad. If so, you can arrange to
rent your car through them and avoid the
confusion of signing a contract in a foreign
language. This way, when you arrive and pick
up your car, you wont be disappointed. It is
tempting when you pick up your rental car to
jump right in and drive away. Dont do this.

Part 4
In response to the concerns many o1 our
personnel have expressed about the cost of our
current health plan, we have decided to make an
alternative plan available to anyone who is
interested. This plan offers fewer benefits, but
those who opt for it will incur fewer costs. I
would like to emphasize that even though we
have chosen this alternative to help people save
money, it is available to everyone regardless of
what your salary is or how long you have
worked at the company. We have spent several
months searching for an alternative health
insurance policy, and I am happy to say we
have finally found one that will suit our needs
in all aspects. If you are interested in switching
to the new plan, please let Human Resources
know within the next two weeks. The new
policy will go into effect at the beginning of
next year.

OK, Ill try these samples, and if they
work, Ill go ahead and fill the prescription
you wrote.
Part 4
The medication Id like to prescribe for you
is one of the most effective drugs for
controlling sleeping problems and should
also help alleviate your headaches. Its very
convenient to use. You just take it once a
day, about thirty minutes before you go to
bed. Ill give you a few free samples to try
out. Call me in four or five days to let me
know how its working. But Im sure youll
be happy with it and want to fill the
prescription. The only potential side effect
it has is stomachaches, and it shouldnt
have any interactions with your other
medications. Theres also no limit to the
length of time you can use it. You can just
keep on taking it as long as you feel a need.

w: Excuse me, Im here to buy a laptop computer
but I dont have a lot of knowledge about
computers.
M: Dont worry. I think I could help you. What
features are you looking for?
w: Well, Im a college student. So, I dont need a
high-end personal computer designed for
technical or scientific applications. I want
something light and portable that can run some
basic programs.
M: Then I recommend the new laptop model from
Bell. I think the model 300XT would be perfect
for you. It has a 5-inch display with 800x480
resolution. It also supports dual-mode function
and wireless internet. Also it comes with a 24month warranty. If you buy this today, we offer
you a laser printer for free. So dont miss this
great opportunity.
M: JP Investment. This is Jim Simon. What can I do
for you?
w: Mr. Simon? I happened to find a briefcase on the
bus this morning. There was a business card
with your name and telephone number in it. Is it
yours?
M: Yes, thats right. Im so relieved. I searched
everywhere, but I failed to find it. I thought I
lost it for good. Thank you so much.
w: How would you like to retrieve it? The business
card says your company is located on Jefferson

home this evening, if youd like.

wi: Hello Jenny! Im supposed to go to a new
Italian restaurant on Robson Street after work
today. Peter in Accounting and Jack in Sales
will come with me. Are you interested in
joining us?
W2: Sure, Katherine. Im in the mood for pizza
today. Whats the name of the restaurant
anyway?
wi: It's called Venice. I read a review of the
restaurant in a cooking magazine the other day.
The critics speak highly of its seafood pizza.
Im sure you won't be disappointed. What time
shall we meet? It is just a 10- minute drive from
our office.
W2; I think I'll get off work at 6 p.m. today. How
about meeting at 6:20 in the lobby?
w: Pardon me. Do you know when the next bus to
Jacksonville will come?
M: Im afraid there is no direct bus to Jacksonville
here. You should take a bus to Miami, and then
transfer to a bus for Jacksonville. Otherwise,
you can take an express train if youd like a
direct trip.
w: Well, Im surprised there's no direct bus to
Jacksonville. I thought it was a large city. Id
rather take a train then. How far is the train
station from here?
M: Its located in the town of Sunnyvale-about a
five-minute drive away. If youd prefer
walking, it takes 20 minutes or so.
M: Hi, Id like to have a new logo made for my

Ladies and gentleman, I regret to let you know that
theres been a minor change in today's convention
schedule. The lecture on the protection of
environment, which was originally scheduled at 10
a.m., will be pushed back to 3 p.m. due to the
lecturers family emergency. Instead, well show
you a video about endangered species from 10 to
noon. The rest of the schedule wont be changed at
all. As a reminder, lunch will be provided for free
in the basement cafeteria at noon sharp as
scheduled. After the lunch break, the keynote
speech, entitled Eco-Friendly Business will be
delivered by Jay Silver at 1 p.m. Most of you
already know that he is one of the most
distinguished researchers in the field of
environment. Im sure this will be a great
opportunity for you to learn about a new type of
business in the 21st century.
Thank you for coming in on such a short notice.
The reason I called this meeting is that I want to
discuss the results of our customer satisfaction
survey. It showed that 50% of our customers liked
our product design and excellent services, while
30% of the respondents were more satisfied with
our affordable prices. However, there are some
complaints about our Web site in that it doesn't
respond to their needs properly. For example,
customers cant order certain items through the
internet even though they can be purchased at the
department store. Considering the fact that a
growing proportion of shoppers prefer online

work. Since I established this company in 1990,
Ive enjoyed working with very creative and
diligent workers like you. Honestly, I have mixed
feelings about leaving the company but the
incoming president, Peter Lang, will surely lead our
company to a higher level in terms of IT
technology. In 2006, he was selected as one of

conducted customer satisfaction surveys across the
nation last week and more than 60% of respondents
turned out to be unhappy with the attitude of their

new branch in Shanghai in early July. Business

analysts anticipate that this trend will continue as
the number of laptop users in China continues to
increase. Once the new branch is fully operational,
our market share is expected to increase to 35%
from the current 31%, adding 20,000 new
customers per year. As some of you already know,
I was asked to head up this new branch in Shanghai
and Im looking forward to the new assignment.
Although we plan to hire local workers in
Shanghai, we also need experienced salespeople
like you. If you are interested in this great
opportunity, dont hesitate to see me in person after
the meeting. Ill give you more details about it.

Hi, Jennifer. This is David Choi from the

I just realized that you havent submitted your

to every employee about this matter. As you know,
we will be quite busy with numerous orders during
