简短回答

Hi Joachim, sorry to be a little late.

No problem. Good to see you again. How was your trip?

It was fine. No delays, just the usual traffic from the airport.

And did you find our offices easily?

Yes, thank you. Your directions were very clear.

OK, so, can I get you a coffee before we start?

Yes. I'd love one. White, one sugar, please.

And, how are you fixed for time?

I've got a couple of hours now. I hope that's enough.

Sorry, do you mind if I just take this call ?

No, of course not, Go ahead.

Sorry about that – the boss. So, are you expecting it to be a good year ?

Well, I hope so. Last year was pretty flat, as you know.

Well, that's really what I'd like to talk about today. How we can ramp things up a bit.

Can I be of any help with the marketing side of things ?

That's kind of you, but we should be able to cope. It's just a question of programming it in.

We're planning a campaign meeting next week.

So I think that's been a useful start to our discussions.

I will programme another meeting for two weeks' time. But I think you have to go now.

Would you like to go for a meal this evening ?

I'd love to, but I'm afraid I have to be back in London by six.

No worries. Would you like a lift back to the station?

That would be really nice, but I don't want to put you out.

It's no problem. I'm going that way anyway.
