Dialogue : Beautiful Packing
John: Glad to see you again, Sherman.
Sherman: Hi, glad to see you too.
John: Please, sit down.Would you like to try our new tea?
Sherman: Great! The main purpose of my visit today is to place another order of your Longjing tea.Actually, we will place regular orders from now.
John: Oh, it is a good news for us.I have the confidence that our tea won't make you disappointed.
Sherman: That is true.But before that, I'd like to talk something about the packing of Longjing tea.
John: Did you find any problems with the packing?
Sherman: No.My meaning is to improve the packing of your Longjing tea.There is no doubt that the quality of your tea is good.It is the packing that often gives the first impression on customers rather than the products themselves so we believe the packing is as important as the quality of the products themselves.
John: I agree with you.But could you be in details?
Sherman: Sure.Firstly, we believe the out-look of the package should attract customer.A beautiful packing is surely a great help in pushing sales.To be honest, your packing is not attractive enough to buyers.
John: Do you mean the color of the design should be more bright and eye-catching7
Sherman: Eye-catching with traditional Chinese style.You see, customers even can smell your culture before they open the box and drink the tea.As you know, one function of packing is to stimulate the buyer's desire to buy.
John: I'll pass your idea onto our designers and ask them to improve it.
Sherman: Thank you John.Secondly, if it is possible, we would like to advise you to improve your methods of packing.
John: Our packing is typical tin for tea.Any questions about this method of packing?
Sherman: I am thinking about how to let your packing speak for the good quality of the tea itself.Can we find some other packing ways to show off the appealing green and sl~ape of the tea?
John: We can leave an open window on packing.
Sherman: You get the point.
John: Thanks for your suggestion.

Lester: Well, we can move in any time after July first, but moving in and actually getting started are two different things.
Wendy: Good point.Anyway, I have our new marketing manager, Helen Parker, helping us set up.
Lester: What is she doing?
Wendy: She's overseeing the purchase of equipment and so forth.
Lcster: Does she have a background in that sort of thing?
Wendy: As a matter of fact, it turns out she practically ran her last company , from marketing to finance.
Lester: I'm looking forward to meeting her.
Wendy: Have you begun to investigate factories? I'm so glad we aren't going to try to run our own factory at first.
Lester: Yes, I've started.And I've found some good people for R and D, too.Then there are the art people designing our logos.
Wendy: Oh, no ! Millions of details: logos, slogans, letterhead, name cards…
Lester: You thought setting up a company was going to be easy?
第8题
A: I've come about your offer for bristles.
B: We have the offer ready for you. Let me see... Here it is. 100 cases of Tsingtao Bristles, 57mm, at... pounds sterling per kilogram, CIF European Main Ports, for shipment in June, 2009. The offer is valid for three days.
A: Why, your price has soared.It's almost 25 % higher than last year's. It would be impossible for us to push any sales at such a price.
B: I'm a little surprised to hear you say that. You know very well that market for bristles has gone up a great deal in recent months. The price we offer compares favourably with quotations you can get elsewhere.
A: I'm afraid I can't agree with you there. I must point out that your price is higher than some of the quotations we have received from other sources.
B: But you must take the quality into consideration. Everyone in the trade knows that China's bristles are of superior quality to those from other countries.
A: I agree that yours are of better quality. But there's competition from synthetic products, too. You can't ignore that prices for synthetic bristles haven't changed much over the years.
B: There's practically no substitute for bristles for certain uses. That's why demand for natural bristles keeps rising in spite of cheaper synthetic ones. To be frank with you, if it were not for the long-standing relationship between us, we would hardly be willing to make you a firm offer at this price.
A: Well, we'll have a lot of difficulties in persuading our clients to buy at this price. But I'll have to try, I suppose.
