（★ 聽對話內容） 本週話題焦點：行銷策略與會議報告（建立關係）
Maggie has just come back with her notepad to take some notes. She is really interested in what Nolan has to say.
Maggie 剛帶著她的筆記本回來要記些筆記。他對 Nolan 要說的事很有興趣。 |
Maggie: Okay now. Where were we? Maggie：好了。我們剛說到哪裡？
Nolan: Oh yeah. He also said that companies with a greater amount of resources than their competitors will have an easier time competing in the marketplace. Nolan：喔對了。他還說到擁有比競爭對手更多資源的公司將會在商場中較容易有競爭力。
Maggie: We have a meeting this Friday to discuss the marketing plan for the last two quarters of next year. This would be a great time to share this information with our team. Maggie：我們在週五會有一場會議是要討論明年最後兩季的行銷計劃。這將會是個分享資訊給我們團隊的好時機。
Nolan: That is exactly what I'm telling you now. I would like you to give a PowerPoint presentation to the marketing team. Nolan：這正是我現在要跟你說的。我想要你對銷售團隊做一份投影片簡報。
Maggie: I would be more than happy to add the information to my presentation. Maggie：我會很樂意把這個資訊加入到我的簡報裡。
Nolan: And the last thing that he talked about was relationships. He said that success in business, as in life, was based on the relationships you have with people. We must aggressively build relationships with customers, distributors, clients, partners and even competitors! That was the part that moved me the most. It's not really new information, but I think that it is a point that isn't stressed enough. Nolan：而他談到的最後一件事是有關人際關係。他說商業上的成功就好像是人生中的成功，都是基於你與人們之間的人際關係。我們必須積極地建立與買家、批發商、客戶、夥伴甚至競爭者之間的人際關係！這就是讓我感觸最深的地方。這倒不是新的資訊，不過我覺得這是一個沒有被好好強調的重點。
Maggie: I've jotted down everything and I'll present all of the information to the team this Friday. Maggie：我已經把一切都記下來了，這個禮拜五我會將所有的資訊報告給團隊。
Nolan: Great! I'm really counting on you to make an impact on every single person on the team! Nolan：太好了！我真的要靠你來影響團隊裡的每一個人了！
