LET'S READ! 📖
Situation:
Peter will be sent on a local business trip.
Manager
Peter
I think we have been focusing too much on urban customers and their needs. The way I see things, we need to return our rural base by developing an advertising campaign to focus on their particular needs.
Manager
Okay. I got your point. That's one of the reasons why you are here. I need you to conduct a research about our rural sales and how we can make them feel that they are important as our customers living here in the city. You will be visiting our rural sites and try to see to it that you can identify their particular needs so we can address them immediately.
Peter
Okay sir. When will be the date?
Manager
Anytime this week. You'd better pack tonight and I'll give you an update tomorrow morning. I'll just let my secretary fix your itinerary.
Peter
Should I bring documents from our office?
Manager
Yes of course. Don't forget to bring all the sales reports for the past three months. Make sure to place them on a document organizer.
Peter
That's noted. I'd like to confirm the number of our rural sites that I will be visiting, sir.
Manager
For now, it's nine. The list will be included in your travel plan. The secretary will sort everything out. Expect extensions so you can manage your luggage well.
Peter
Is it possible until weekend?
Manager
No, you'll be done before the weekend. If you see a good place to visit on weekend then you can stay there. The company will cover your accommodation.
Peter
Wow, that's great. I hope I can have one night on the beach.
Manager
Sounds like a plan! Just make sure to hand in a good report on Monday.
Peter
Well, I think I should.
