REVIEWING PAST BUSINESS It's a good idea to review past business shortly before moving on to the main topic of discussion. Meeting Chairman: 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 _COMPLETED_ on June 24th. Right, Tom, over to you. Alex Young: Thank you Mark. Let me just summarize the main points of the last meeting. We _BEGIN_ the meeting by approving the changes in our sales reporting system _DELIVERED_ on May 30th. After briefly revising the changes that will take place, we _DEVELOPED_on to a brainstorming session concerning after customer support improvements.

DISCUSSING ITEMS 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 STATE 5. FINISHING THE MEETING Close the meeting by summarizing what's been discussed and scheduling the next meeting. Meeting Chairman: Unfortunately, we're running short of time.
