BUSINESS MEETING DIALOGUE

Taken and adapted from: thoughtco.com

1. INTRODUCTIONS

BEGIN THE MEETING WITH INTRODUCTIONS WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION

PAID TO NEWCOMERS.
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
WAS JOIN OUR TEAM.

2. REVIEWING PAST BUSINESS

IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO REVIEW PAST BUSINESS SHORTLY BEFORE MOVING

ON TO THE MAIN TOPIC OF DISCUSSION.

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 DELIVERED ON JUNE 24TH. RIGHT, TOM, OVER TO YOU.
ALEX YOUNG: THANK YOU MARK. LET ME JUST SUMMARIZE THE MAIN
POINTS OF THE LAST MEETING.CLOSED WE THE MEETING BY
APPROVING THE CHANGES IN OUR SALES REPORTING SYSTEM BEGUN
ON MAY 30TH. AFTER BRIEFLY REVISING THE CHANGES THAT WILL TAKE
PLACE,
CLOSED WE
ON TO A BRAINSTORMING SESSION CONCERNING AFTER
CUSTOMER SUPPORT IMPROVEMENTS.

YOU'LL FIND A COPY OF THE MAIN VALUED IDEAS DEVELOPED AND IN

THESE SESSIONS IN THE PHOTOCOPIES IN FRONT OF YOU. THE MEETING
DECLARED COMPLETED AT 11 30

3. BEGINNING THE MEETING

MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE HAS AN AGENDA OF THE MEETING AND
STICK TO IT. REFER TO THE AGENDA FROM TIME TO TIME DURING
THE MEETING TO KEEP THE DISCUSSION ON TRACK.

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 COMPLETED 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?

4. DISCUSSING ITEMS

DISCUSS ITEMS ON THE AGENDA MAKING SURE TO PARAPHRASE AND

CLARIFY AS YOU 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 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 TEAM’S 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 (CHRIS PRESENTS 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 DISCUSSED

5. FINISHING THE MEETING

CLOSE THE MEETING BY SUMMARIZING WHAT'S BEEN DISCUSSED

AND SCHEDULING THE NEXT MEETING.

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 VALUED

MORE
• OUR SALES TEAMS NEED MORE ACCURATE
INFORMATION ON OUR CUSTOMERS.
• A SURVEY WILL DONE BE TO COLLECT DATA ON SPENDING HABITS
IN THESE AREAS.
• THE RESULTS OF THIS SURVEY WILL DELIVERED BE 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 COMPLETED MEETING
IS
