.
 lOMoARcPSD|14598519

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
