    BUSINESS MEETING DIALOGUE


    Taken and adapted from: thoughtco.com
    1. INTRODUCTIONS
    Begin the meeting with introductions with special attention paid to
    newcomers.
    Meeting Chairman: If we are all here, let's get started. First of all, I'd like you
    to please join me in welcoming Jack Peterson, our Southwest Area Sales Vice
    President.
    Jack Peterson: Thank you for having me, I'm looking forward to today's
    meeting.
    Meeting Chairman: I'd also like to introduce Margaret Simmons who recently
    joined our team.

    2.1 REVIEWING PAST BUSINESS

    It's a good idea to review past business shortly before moving on to the
    main topic of discussion.

    Meeting Chairman: We're here today to discuss ways of improving sales in


    rural market areas. First, let's go over the report from the last meeting which
    was held on June 24th. Right, Tom, over to you.

    Alex Young: Thank you Mark. Let me just summarize the main points of the
    last meeting. We began the meeting by approving the changes in our sales

    reporting system discussed on May 30th. After briefly revising the changes that.
    will take place, we moved on to a brainstorming session concerning after
    customer support improvements.

    You'll find a copy of the main ideas developed and discussed in these sessions in
    the photocopies in front of you. The meeting declared closed at 11.30.
    3. BEGINNING THE MEETING
    Make sure that everyone has an agenda of the meeting and stick to it.
    Refer to the agenda from time to time during the meeting to keep the
    discussion on track.
    Meeting Chairman: Thank you Tom. So, if there is nothing else, we need to
    discuss, let's move on to today's agenda. Have you all received a copy of
    today's
    agenda? If you don't mind, I'd like to skip item 1 and move on to item 2: Sales
    improvement in rural market areas. Jack has kindly agreed to give us a report
    on this matter. Jack?
    4. DISCUSSING ITEMS
    Discuss items on the agenda making sure to paraphrase and clarify as
    you move through the meeting.

    Chris Morgan: Before I begin the report, I'd like to get some ideas from you all.
    How do you feel about rural sales in your sales districts? I suggest we go round the
    table first to get all of your input.

    Alex Young: In my opinion, we have been focusing too much on urban


    customers and their needs. The way I see things, we need to return to our rural
    base by developing an advertising campaign to focus on their particular needs.

    Anne Stevenson: I'm afraid I can't agree with you. I think rural customers want to
    feel as important as our customers living in cities. I suggest we give our rural sales
    teams more help with advanced customer information reporting.

    Alex Young: Excuse me, I didn't catch that. Could you repeat that, please?

    Anne Stevenson: I just stated that we need to give our rural sales teams better
    customer information reporting.

    Chris Morgan: I don't quite follow you. What exactly do you mean?

    Anne Stevenson: Well, we provide our city sales staff with database
    information on all of our larger clients. We should be providing the same sort of
    knowledge on our rural customers to our sales staff there.

    Chris Morgan: Would you like to add anything, Tom?

    Alex Young: I must admit I never thought about rural sales that way before.
    Chris Morgan: Well, let me begin with this Power Point presentation
    (Chrispresents his report). As you can see, we are developing new methods to
    reach out to our rural customers.

    Anne Stevenson: I suggest we break up into groups and discuss the ideas
    we've seen presented.

    5. FINISHING THE MEETING


    MEETING
    Close the meeting by summarizing what's been discussed and scheduling the
    next meeting.

    Meeting Chairman: Unfortunately, we're running short of time. We'll have to leave
    that to another time.
    Jack Peterson: Before we close, let me just summarize the main points:

    • Rural customers need special help to feel more valued


    • Our sales teams need more accurate information on our customers.
    • A survey will be completed to collect data on spending habits in these
    Zone.

    • The results of this survey will be delivered to our sales teams.

    Meeting Chairman: Thank you very much Jack. Right, it looks as though
    we have covered the main items Is there any other business?

    Alex Young: Can we fix the next meeting, please?

    Meeting Chairman: Good idea Donald. How does Friday in two weeks time sound
    to everyone? Let's meet at the same time, 9 o'clock. Is that OK for everyone?
    Excellent. I'd like to thank Chris for coming to our meeting today. The meeting is
    closed

    The previous dialogue doesn't include greetings at the beginning. Read the
    dialogue againg and write the most appropriate greeting to start the meeting.

    Good morning, I hope you are all very well, as you know we have had some
    problems, so we have set up this meeting to clarify some doubts and seek some
    solutions with the subject that we are going to discuss.
