Whatis your agenda

Are they speaking slowly on purpose or is the speed of speaking normal?

Awkward meeting. The boss is intimidating and they all seem like robots.

What was the last sentence?

Now you all know why I've called this meeting. Sales figures for our region are down. We need to address this as soon as we can. So I'd like to start by asking Meyer to talk us through the figures. Ok? Meyer? Then we can take a look at the product we are offering and compare them with the competition.

Court's Power pump is an energy company based in the UK. Marcus- The managing director wants to discuss the company's sales figures. He is meeting Maya- the finance director. David- the sales and marketing director and Anna- a customer services director. Now, you all know why I've called this meeting. Sales figures for our region down needs to address this as soon as we can. So I would like to start by asking Mile to talk us through figures. OK, Mile. So then we can take a look at the products we're offering and compare them with the competition. So, Mile, up to you. Thanks, Markus. Well, I prepared some handouts to show you how the figures are looking. If we look at sales year to date. So, in order to meet the budget this year. We will, in my opinion, have to start cost-saving measures. What do you mean by that? redundancies? That's one possibility. I can't agree with you there. We need a strong workforce. OK, thanks, Mile. Look. Cost-cutting is something we need to think about. But, we also need to stop the downturn in sales and regain market share. So, Can I bring you in here David, any comments? Well, It's hard to know what the problem is? Our products are competitive. So, they are not getting better offers from the competition. I don't think so. How about I talk you through our office at the moment. I've prepared some handouts. Yes, go ahead. it would be good to look at the details. OK, thanks, David. That was all useful information. So, Anna, can we turn to you now? Do you have any idea why this downturn is happening? Well, It's true we are seeing a decrease in customs in our region. There's also been an increase in customers canceling new contracts within 14days. So, do you know why do the customers say why they don't like our office? I personally feel that's vital information. I mean. If I can finish what I was saying? I would like to suggest we review our customer account procedures from first contact to after-sales care. It means perhaps It would be a good idea to start with that and see if the sales figure improve. Thanks, Anna. What do you two think of that? Anna makes another suggestion. I think we need to see the whole picture. From the customer point of view, a customer survey perhaps. There would be a big project. It would need a project team which means taking staff from other departments. Actually, I was thinking about hiring an external researcher, to get a neutral view of our position market and customers view on us. I like that idea. I think it could be very useful information. What department pays for it though? We can talk about that in a minute. Do you agree in principle though that we need to understand the cause of the problem? Yes, I suppose so. Good, Markus, could you look for a market research company we could work on that. Sure. Great. Well, So let's move on then, shall we?

No subtitles? Auto-generated are useless for an ESL class, so I guess I have to pass on what could been a useful tool for the classroom.

Thank you for this great business English conversation lesson. It looks like that it is in real time, however, if there will be three parts, one part with subtitles, anothr part is without subtitles and the final part is key phrases, that will be much more prefect! 🙏

Any one have an answer for these question
Why did Marcus disagree with Meer’s suggestion of redundancies, and what alternative approach did he progress.
Explain the benefits that the team sees in hiring an external researcher for market analysis.
What are some potential reasons for the company’s declining sales, based on the discussion among the directors.
