Ana (sales representative)
Good morning, Ms. Lana! Thank you so much for making time to discuss with me the revenue from our sales of tumblers.
Tom
Don’t worry about it, Mr. Ben. I understand that you were engaged in another meeting. Shall we start?
Ana (sales representative)
Yes, please.
Tom
As you can see, the revenue from our sales of bamboo tumblers rose gradually, while the sales of thermal tumblers remained static.
Ana (sales representative)
I find that quite interesting. I’m thinking people are opting for more environmentally-friendly products.
Tom
I believe that is the case. Mrs. Lopez has advised us to come up with a new game plan to corner our markets on tumblers.
Ana (sales representative)
We should do an advertising campaign on all our tumblers.
Tom
Yes, I agree. An ad campaign would be great for the summer season.
Ana (sales representative)
I shall pitch some ideas to our marketing team.
Tom
That would be great! I already have some ideas for the product posters.
