That’s a disaster!Amy : I suppose you’re going to blame my sales team .Larry：No, Amy. We are not going to blame anyone .Not today. We need to decide what we are going to do about it.Richard: Wait. Before we go on, can we have a look at these poor figures?Larry：Sorry , I’m not sure if I have …. Ah, yes, I’ve got a few copies here. As you can see….Amy : Larry, I want to know that it’s not my fault! My people have been working really hard to promote sales.Larry：Yes, yes, I know. But the fact is that the results are not good .Richard: Maybe we can ….Amy : You should trust your team! There are always ups and downs in sales!Larry：Look, Amy, I do have confidence in my team ! I have called this meeting to see what my team suggests we do .So shall we get on with it! I suppose we can start by finding out why we are having these poor results. Gregory, would you please give us an analysis of these figures?Gregory ：Ur….. Sorry, I don’t have anything prepared since I didn’t know….Larry：Oh, well …..Video 2Larry Hunter Amy Richard GregoryL: I’m sorry to have called this meeting at such short notice. Did you all get a copy of the sales figures?A, R, G: YesL: Good. So you have seen from my memo the purpose of this meeting.

It might not be easy, but I want to finish the meeting by 3 o’clock.G: OKA, R: Uh-huh.L: Now, Amy, what do you think?A: Well, there’s a lot competition out there now.L: That’s true, but our prices are competitive.R: In my opinion, the salespeople are not very motivated.

What about the bonus system? How many salespeople get bonus now?A: Not many.L: Really? Why not?A: The sales quotas are pretty high. you have to make $60.000 in sales, That’s a lot. Most people average about $45.000.L: Per month?A: Yes.R: Well, maybe we should lower our quotas.L: How’s that going to motivate them, Richard?R: If we lower the quotas, it will be easier for the salespeople to reach them. So more people will get……A: I don’t see the point. How’s that going to increase sales?L: Let him finish.R: Well, I think the quotas are just too high. The salespeople don’t think they can reach them so try don’t try. But, if someone is making, say $45.000, and if the target is $50.000, then they’ll work just a little bit harder to reach 50.000.G: I see what you mean. And if they get a nice bonus at $50.000 then, they will work even harder the next month.L: Yes. You have got a good point! Let’s come up with a proposal for lower quotas.Unit 5Task 1I: So, what basic needs do business travelers have?K: one of the most important things is a quick check-in and check-out. After a long trip, it’s annoying to have to wait at the hotel reception for five minutes. Room service is also very important. Guests often stay in their rooms working and don’t have time to go out to a restaurant, so they want their meals to be served in their rooms.I: And what facilities are there in the room?K: Well, nowadays communication facilities are essential, so things like a modern socket, where guests can plug their modems in, and a fax are very important.I: Yes, of course.K: The lighting is also very important. We’ve just spent a lot of money upgrading the lighting in our rooms. As I said, guests often spend their evenings preparing work, so they need good lighting at their desks.I: And what about facilities in the hotel in general?K: The bars are important. Corporate guests tend to spend more time in the hotel bars than tourists. It’s very important to provide a business center, too.I: What services does the business center provide?K: Basic secretarial services such as photocopying and typing. Guests always find it helpful to have these kind of things organized for them.I: Right, and what about the distance to the airport and city center? Is that important?K: Yes. We’re in the east of London so we’re near City Airport. A lot of our guests have meetings in this area; they don’t want to be near Heathrow Airport or right in。

商务英语视听说第三版下册听力原文Tom：So far our commodities have stood the competition well. The very fact that other clients keep on buying speaks for itself. Few other teas can comparewith ours either for flavor or color.目前为止，我们的商品都就是经得住竞争的。

其他客户不断地向我们出售就证明了这一点。

在香味或色泽方面，其他品牌的红茶很难与我们的红茶相媲美。

Sammy：But I believe we’ll have a hard time convincing our clients at your price.不过我认为很难说服我们的客户们接受你方的价格。

Tom：To be frank with you, if it weren’t for our good relations, we wouldn’t consider making you a firm offer at this price.坦率地说道，如果不是为了我们之间的友好关系，我们本来不能考量以这个价格报金融期货的。

Sammy：All right. In order to get the business, I accept.好吧，为了达成交易，我接受了。

Tom：I’m glad that we’ve settled the price.很高兴我们就价格问题达成一致了协议。

Sammy：Now about the quantity. You said you could offer me only 500 cases, which I think is not enough. Last year we sold 700 cases, and I’m sure I can do better this year. I hope you can offer me at least 800 cases.现在谈谈数量问题。

Unit 8 Receiving Visitors2.Listening PracticeTask 2-1A receptionist in a small firm may have to use a computer, operate a switchboard, and perform other clerical duties, in addition to receiving visitors. In a large firm a receptionist can concentrate on welcoming and looking after visitors.A visitor to a large firm should make an appointment, because executives are often very busy and do not have much time for visitors. Executives and secretaries should notify the receptionist in advance about important appointments, and about the movements of executives, especially when they are out of the building on business. Executives often ask receptionists to make travel arrangements for them, such as booking hotel rooms and airline tickets.Task 2-2There is a certain procedure for receiving visitors. A receptionist should find out if the visitor has an appointment or not. If the visitor is an important client, the executive or his secretary will come down to the reception area to greet the visitor. Sometimes the receptionist or another secretary escorts, or accompanies, the visitor to the executive’s office. Using the visitor’s name when he arrives is a friendly gesture and gives the visitor a good impression of the firm. The receptionist announces the visitor’s name, title and position, and introduces the executive to him.When a visitor’s request for a meeting cannot be satisfied, the receptionist should apologise and make some suggestions for an alternative time. If a meeting is impossible, the receptionist should express regret and explain why, with tact, so that the visitor’s feelings are not hurt.A receptionist should keep a register which includes dates, times, names and the firm the visitor works for. A receptionist can then refer to this if there is a request for information.4. Video 1(R for receptionist; S for secretary; V for visitor)R: Good morning.
