商务英语职业目标的确定 商务英语口语对话:达成销售目标

商务英语口语对话:达成销售目标  

A: So that concludes the introduction. Now let's move to the first part of my talk
which is about 2006 fiscal year marketing plan. So first
right off the bat
When looking at the marketing plan
tell me some of the goals that we had set this year to begin with....

B: We wanted to appeal to a younger set of consumers and also
in line with that goal
redo our image....

A: That's correct. If you remember
we also set a goal to double distribution in overseas markets. Now
when looking at the data to evaluate whether or not we made our goals
there are three things to consider. First
the original condition of the market
second
our marketing numbers from the previous year
and third
our final sales figures for this year. Now I want to describe for you the second and third parts. If you look at the overhead
you'll see a blue line represents our sales from the year 2005
the red line is the sales in 2006.... As you can see
our sales in 2005 were quite slow to start off with
but managed to make decent performance in the last part of the year. On the other hand
you can see this year's sales took off like a rocket.
