Hi Mr Joyce, this is Sally Walker calling from Foroman Publishing.

in advance. Is that okay?
That's no problem. I'll transfer the money into your bank account immediately.

I need to talk to you about the interior decorations we are carrying out at the

They are a major client, so we need to make sure that they are completely
satisfied. Have you consulted with them about the furniture for the master bedroom?
I have. They agreed on all of our plans except for the choice for the master bed.
They are worried it is too big and will occupy too much space.

Well, my house is not that big, so I was hoping for a dog small enough to hold in

Hi, Bob. Hi, Karen. The reason I called you in is to talk about the budget for the
last two months.
This biggest issue is that our entertainment expenses are way too high. I think we
need to reduce the amount we are spending on company lunches and dinners.
Yes, I agree. I think we need to start paying for our own lunches.
I agree with both of you, but I think we need to keep entertaining clients. I think
if we pay for our own lunches, then that will leave money to take clients out for
dinner.
That's a pretty good idea, Bob. Karen, does that sound okay with you?
I think that's a great compromise, Bob. I will make a monthly budget plan and email
it to you this afternoon.
