Hello, Ron. By the way, I’m phoning to suggest an online tool.

Sure! Could you tell me more about it?

Yes! Recently, I’ve been looking for ways to streamline our processes at work. We’ve had multiple delays in recent months as a result of poor project management. As a result, I strongly suggest that we use Asankaba Management Software.

I agree with that 100%! How about its subscription?

This project management tool is a cost-effective solution to our problem. A monthly subscription to this program costs only $35. It contains a lot of useful features like a task scheduler and a progress tracker.

You are correct. That will be extremely beneficial. However, I must first inform our supervisor of this information.

Thank you for your time. Let me know your thoughts about this software.

I’ll keep you posted as soon as possible.

Sure! Could you tell me a little more about it?

Yes! Recently, I’ve been looking for __________ to streamline our processes at work. As a result of inadequate project management, we’ve had repeated delays in recent months. As a result, I strongly advise us to use Dito Management Software.

Hello, Emma. I’m delighted you were able to join us today.

Yes, Ron. I’m always eager to collaborate with you. So, how can I help?

This year, we’re introducing a new product. As a result, we need a graphic designer to work on our new advertising materials. Could you help us with that?

Sure. But I’d like to learn more about the payment scheme.

We propose that you be paid on an hourly basis. What does $200 per hour sound like to you?

That sounds excellent, but I’m worried it won’t be enough. I could usually
complete the outputs in two to three hours. I’m afraid that an hourly fee is too low.

I see. Let’s see how we can work this out. Do you have any recommendations for me?

What are your thoughts on a project-specific fixed rate? I’d charge
$2,500 for the project, which would include consults.

Hmm. I think we could go along with that.

Then it’s a done deal.

Certainly!

Sure. However, I’d like to know more about the payment plan.

We recommend that you be compensated every day. Do you think $500 per day is a good deal?

We believe that ABS Corp. and CBN Inc. could make a good team. We manufacture a variety of high-quality computer monitors. Our proposal is to give you up to 25% discount on computer monitors if you agree to make us your exclusive supplier.

I see. Your proposition has the potential to significantly reduce our
production costs, but I can’t make a judgment at this time yet. First,
I’ll schedule a meeting with my supervisor, and then I’ll call you.

Sure! Thank you for listening.

organize a meeting with my boss, and then I’ll contact you.

Sure! Thank you for taking the time to listen.
