The First Question
  • Welcome to ‘‘sales division 2’’!
  • Hello, my name is Kate. It's nice to meet you and a pleasure to join your team.
  • We're all glad to have you on the team! OK, I am gonna explain to you the basics of our work.
  • Yes, please.
  • Take notes or ask questions if you need to.
  • OK.
  • First, as you know, since we are all salespeople, and we have many business trips. Our meetings with our customers are the backbone of our business. We submit the quotations based on the meeting inquiries with our customers. Do you understand, so far?
  • Yes, the price depends on the requested products, right?
  • That's right. So, after that, we get an official order with our quoted price and send the bill when we deliver the products.
  • Do we have a standard lead-time?
  • Well... yes. It takes about a week or so, but for an order of more than 100 pieces, it will be twice the normal. This is the general business flow for our section. Any questions?
  • Yes, I have one question.
  • OK, what is it?
  • Do you have a girlfriend?
