Ron: Uh, well, is that really necessary? Dorothy: Yes, it is. Ron: Well, I wrote a William Blake-like poem about your breasts... Dorothy: The "fearful symmetry" part was interesting, I have to admit it. Ron: Yeah... I'm really sorry about that and the audio message... Dorothy: If you mean the recording of you singing The Bad Touch, yes, that was pretty inappropriate. Ron: Damn, I'm an idiot. Will you ever forgive me? Dorothy: I'll let you know. Sorry, I'm in a troll-ish mood today, so don't expect me to forgive you just like that! Let me have my revenge first. How's the headache?

I don't understand, I made a reservation, do you have my reservation? #Person2#: Yes, we do, but unfortunately we ran out of cars. #Person1#: But the reservation keeps the car here. That's why you have the reservation. #Person2#: I know why we have reservations. #Person1#: I don't think you do. If you did, I'd have a car. See, you know how to take the reservation, you just don't know how to hold the reservation and that's really the most important part of the reservation, the holding.

#Person1#: Our toner cartridges are already out of ink... Could you make an order for a new set? #Person2#: We will need new cartridges for all of the office printers? That will be a large order, probably about two or three cases. The office supply store we usually go through might not have that many in stock. #Person1#: You can double check with the housekeeping department, but I am pretty sure all of the machines will need new cartridges. Last time when we made our order to the supplier, the quantity was also especially high. They are used to receiving such bulk orders from us. As long as we give them a heads up a couple days in advance, they can usually fill the order. #Person2#: OK, I will make a few calls and run our order by housekeeping first to make sure. Is there anything else we need to order while I am at it? #Person1#: I think the only thing is toner. Try to see if they can deliver it before the end of business day tomorrow.

Marketing: Or not Oh there we go Perfect So this is me basically I was looking through some marketing reports that we have got and we had a usability test where we were actually sort like watching a hundred people use TV remotes and see what it is that they are using and then they filled out a questionnaire about what they like and what they do not about their general TV remote control practices pretty much through testing we were finding out that most of the time everybodys used to using changing the channel turning it on using the volume m the majority of the time that is all that is going on the other functions happen for some people they are important but the primary uses are really really basic and so big complicated remotes like one we saw in the last presentation are really not the general publics use they are not using a lot of it they do not need it they even find it frustrating when there are all those buttons that they do not know what to do with And we also found out that fifty percent of our people their the worst thing about a remote is how often they lose it And then they can not find it in the room So I think what we were talking about with a pager or something will really come into play with a lot of these people there is also a survey about what they liked about remotes and pretty much they all think they are hideous and not very useful and the younger demographics are all really interested in voice recognition options I do not know if that is something we are ready to look into technically that is up to the design people but it is s something worth thinking about especially since the younger demographics obviously the one that is going to keep growing so if that is the direction we are headed in it is something to think about but basically it really is the primary functions and getting it to look nice which are the standards So it is a good start for us Project Manager: That is great Thank you Sarah Right So Marketing: Need to unplug this ? Project Manager: yep I will just switch that back here I will finish up with just a bit of discussion plan on for the next phase Right so I think we have covered most of these important questions through this through you guyss presentations we have got y the Industrial Designer suggests or pretty much emphatically suggested that we need to go with plastic Sarah she is recommended that we go for simpler functions so fewer functions but we need to decide who are we selling this to you s your stats suggested that seventy five percent of people under thirty five wanted thought about voice control so do we want to go for that or do we want to go for an older demographic and my thought is we have got w if we are going to go for a sleek look I mean we are putting the fashion in electronics Marketing: We are not catering to the pensioners of the world I do not think so Project Manager: Yes So maybe this we should look into this younger demographic So
The Marketing proposed to use voice control on the remote and according to his research, three quarters of people under 35 are in favour of voice control. At the same time, in order to keep the remote not so easy to be lost as its counterparts of other brands, voice control would be an essential technique. For those two reasons, the Marketing persuaded the Project Manager to target their consumers as the youth.
#Person1#: I've got to put together a sales pitch to give to our clients in the morning. You always give such amazing presentations, I was hoping you could give me some advice about how to win them over tomorrow. #Person2#: Sure, it's easy. First of all, the secret to a successful oral presentation is to keep things simple. People are listening and they usually don't have a long attention spans. Stick to about three or four points, give an overview of the points, then present them one by one, and then summarzie at the end. Be straightforward and organized and you're sure to be remembered. #Person1#: What kind of visuals should I use to support the presentation? Do you think I should use powerpoint? #Person2#: You should consider the size and interests of your audience. In other words, who is listening, and what do they want to hear... you can put together a PPT with some graphics and animations that will catch people's attention, but be careful not to go overboard. #Person1#: I think I can put something together, no problem. But when it comes to tomorrow, I'll just be a bundle of nerves! How can I get over my fear of speaking in public? #Person2#: You know, stage fright is very normal, most people get nervous before they have to speak in front of large groups. Just prepare well, rehearse beforehand, and trust that you will be great... and you will be!
