One morning, Mr. Evans is discussing a new business plan to Mr. Davies for their Yummy Tuna product.

I believe it’s a great plan to make more flavors. However, your plan needs revision on page eight. Can we take a look at this part together?

Okay, sir. As you can see on page eight, I have recommended four new flavors for our Yummy Tuna. If we sell four new flavors along with Yummy Tuna’s original flavors, we will be able to meet our sales goals before this year ends.

I see. Based on your idea, we should start selling the new flavors by the first week of December. However, don’t you think we should produce two flavors first? We can always add flavors later. We are still short on supplies and capital.

You do not have to worry, sir. I will have my team look for new suppliers. Although selling only two new flavors is a good idea, I think it is better to sell all four flavors. That way, we can get new customers.

You have your points, Mr. Evans, but I still have few things that I need to see on your plan. Kindly include the capital we need, a list of possible suppliers, and a research on our costumers. I think we can give your idea a chance.

I will get back to you next week with the revised plan. Thank you, Mr. Davies.
