商务英语口语对话:达成销售目标

A: So that concludes the introduction. Now let's move to the first part of my talk, which is about 2006 fiscal year marketing plan. So first, right off the bat, When looking at the marketing plan, tell me some of the goals that we had set this year to begin with....

B: We wanted to appeal to a younger set of consumers and also, in line with that goal, redo our image....

A: That's correct. If you remember, we also set a goal to double distribution in overseas markets. Now, when looking at the data to evaluate whether or not we made our goals, there are three things to consider.

Now I want to describe for you the second and third parts. If you look at the overhead, you'll see a graph...The blue line represents our sales from the year 2005, the red line is the sales in 2006.... As you can see, our sales in 2005 were quite slow to start off with, but managed to make decent performance in the last part of the year. On the other hand, you can see this year's sales took off like a rocket.
