Situation 8:Meeting the Boss
(Mr.Barnes calls Steve on the intra-office phone)
Dawson?
Yes,this is he.
Contact Goddard and come up to my office immediately.
I want to go over today's meeting in advance.
Mr.Goddard is with me now;we'll come up right away.
(Steve to James) Well,that was the old man;
it's show time.And he sounds a little nervous,which means we
have to be even more careful.
I'll be extremely careful.I just don't want him to
yell at me again.I'm an engineer,not a secretary.
Be careful.Lisa might hear you.Anyway,let's go.
(Steve and James go up to Mr.Barnes' office
and his secretary sends them in.They
knock on the door.)
Come in.
Good morning,sir.
Good morning,Mr.Barnes.How are you?
I'll be a lot better after this
meeting is over.I hope you two have done your homework
because this is a huge deal.If we can convince
Wang about our company then larger computer
firms will follow.I don't have to tell either of you that
could mean millions of dollars.I'm counting on you.
Don't worry Mr.Barnes,sir,you can
depend on us.Isn't that right James
Yes,I think.I mean,of course you can.
I had better be able to.And if you two do a good job,
I won't forget it when it comes time for
promotions either.I put you on this assignment because you
are my two best men;I know you won't disappoint me.
Well,let's hear about your ideas for the presentation.
Goddard,would you like to start?
I think it might be best to let Mr.Dawson begin; he's
the expert at sales.
