READ
The new Corporate Marketing Manager, Mr. Evans, calls for his first meeting with the Marketing Department.
 Good morning everyone. It is an honor for me to be here today as your new Corporate Marketing Manager. Rest assured that our tasks will be satisfying and pleasant. Ms. Watson, please take note of the minutes of our meeting. By the way, has anyone seen Mr. Newton? |
About Mr. Newton, I just received a call from him an hour ago. He told me that he will be absent today due to personal reasons. |
Noted on that. Well then, let us begin our meeting. First of all, we will be having a weekly report meeting to keep us on the ball. Second, Ms. Carter has allowed us to have free lunch twice a month. Third, I will have a one-on-one meeting with each staff to know all of you better and to promote teamwork and understanding towards our goal. |
|
That is a good idea, Mr. Evans, especially now that PharmaCare is growing. In addition to that, I would like to present the updates of our latest product on our next week’s meeting. About the one-on-one meeting, would you like me to include in the minutes of meeting the number of staff you can meet per day? |
Certainly. Please include in the minutes that I will be meeting three to four staff per day. Well then, it looks like we are done for today. Our meeting is finished. It was a great pleasure meeting you all. Thank you, everyone. |
|
Thank you, Mr. Evans. We will just give you a follow-up of our tasks by the end of the day. |
