.DISCUSSING ITEMS
Discuss  items  on the agenda making  sure to paraphrase
a n d   c l a r i f y   a s   y o u move  through the  meeting. 
Chris  Morgan:
Before I begin the report, I'd like to get some ideas from you all. How do you feel
aboutrural 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. Theway I see things, we need to return to our rural base by developing
an advertising campaign to focus ontheir particular needs.
 Anne Stevenson:
I'm afraid I can't agree with you. I think rural customers want to feel as important
asour customers living in cities. I suggest we give our rural sales teams more help
with advanced customerinformation 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
informationreporting.
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
largerclients. We should be providing the same sort of knowledge on our rural
customers to our sales staffthere.
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 (Chris presents his report).
As youcan 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 11)
