Have you ever been to a sales meeting at work?

I’m sure some of you have.

Effective communication helps you make your point in a sales meeting.

Even if you’re there just to observe it, there’s a lot you can learn by listening.

This lesson will let you listen to some conversations about a sales meeting.

Let’s get started then!

We're having a sales meeting tomorrow. Can you make it?

At what time?

It should be about 10 o'clock. Is that OK?

Yes, that'll be fine.

We're going to go over some suggestions to improve communication with customers.

Good. I have some suggestions I’d like to make.

Frank is also going to make some suggestions on how to improve sales in China.

That'll be interesting. He's got keen insights.

Yes, he's going to outline some new sales strategies.

Is Alan attending?

No, he's flying to San Francisco and won't be able to make it.

I'd like to open today's meeting. Does everyone have a copy of the agenda? Kevin, you first.

Thank you, Sir. I'll quickly go over the main points of our last meeting.

I suggest each one of us give a little background on the research we’ve done on the suggestions discussed last week.

You'll find most of the information outlined in the summary documents in front of you.

These figures are interesting. It's clear to me that customer communications are not as effective as they could be.

True, our marketing efforts really haven't been effective till date.

I suggest we break up into groups and discuss how we can improve our message.

That’s a good idea.

Let’s do that and meet back together again in 20 minutes so that we can continue and complete today’s agenda

You have insight into something if you have a good understanding of it from experience and knowledge.

A well-thought-out plan that you form before you do anything is called a strategy.

The agenda for a meeting is a plan for what’s going to be discussed at the meeting, and in what order they are to be discussed.

Sometimes means the same as selling, but marketing is also used to mean a broader selling strategy and not just a single selling attempt.

Thank you for watching this lesson. We’ll be back with a new one tomorrow.

Do come back and watch it!
