    BUSINESS MEETING DIALOGUE
    Taken and adapted from: thoughtco.com
     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.
     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 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 presented on May 30th. After
    briefly revising the changes that will take place, we discussed on to a
    brainstorming session concerning after customer support
    improvements.
    You'll find a copy of the main ideas developed and presented in these
    sessions in the photocopies in front of you. The meeting was
    declared closed at 11.30.
     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?
     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
     FINISHING THE 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 was to collect data on spending habits in these
    areas.
     The results of this survey will was to our sales teaMs
    Meeting Chairman: Thank you very much Jack. Right, it looks as
    though we've 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
