【答案解析】[解析] 23-30
M1: As we are all here, let's get started. First of all, let us welcome Peter Smith, our Asian Pacific Area Sales Vice President.
M2: Thank you for having me, I'm looking forward to today's meeting.
M1: Let's get started. 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 last week. Jack has agreed to help us review last meeting's main issues, please.
F1: Everyone, 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 sales 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.
M1: Thanks, Jack. So, let's move on to today's topic: sales improvement in rural market areas. 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.
F2: 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.
F1: 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.
F3: I don't quite follow you, Rose. What exactly do you mean? F1: I mean that we need to give our rural sales teams better customer information reporting. 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.
M2: Well, let me begin with the report that has been handed out to you. As you can see, we are developing new methods to reach out to our rural customers. They play a very important role in our sale performance.
M1: Unfortunately, we're running short of time. We'll have to leave that to next time. Peter, would you like to summarize today's main points, please?
M2: O. K. First, rural customers need special help to feel more valued. Second, our sales teams should seek more accurate information on our customers. Third, a survey will be conducted to collect data on customers' spending habits in these areas and the results will be delivered to our sales teams. We are considering specific data mining procedures to help deepen our understanding.
M1: Thank you very much, Peter. Well, it seems as though we've covered the main items. If there is no other business, let's fix the next meeting. How does next Monday sound to everyone? Let's meet at 10 o'clock. Is that OK for everyone? Good! I'd like to thank Peter for coming to our meeting today. The meeting is closed.
