Subtitles:

Lady: Good morning

Cindy: Hello. I am Cindy Matts. What can I do for you?

Mike: Goodmorning Miss Matts. My name is Mike Danton. I stopped by today to see if I can make an appointment to meet with you.

Cindy:  Didnt you leave some phone messages?

Mike:  Yes. I have called a couple of times, hoping to speak with you

Cindy:  I appologise for not getting back to you. Its been a hectic week

Mike:  Thats why I dont want to take much of your time today. I would like to make an appointment to meet you for an hour or so.

Cindy:  You haven't told me why you want to meet Mr.Dandant.

Mike:  I represent Ad Rad. I would like to talk to you about creating an advertising campign for your business.

Cindy:  I am sorry Mr.Dandant. I am not interested in making any changes to our advertising right now. We are doing just fine.

Mike:  Thats why I wanted to talk to you, you see. Now is the best time to start advertising more aggresively.

Cindy:  And Why is that?

MIke:  Now you got something to prank about. You have grown. You are doing well. You are exporting to Europe. Thats an impressive record.

Cindy:  Damn. And we got there without any fancy advertising campaign.

Mike:  My point is that if you wait until business falls off, to think about whats lacking in your advertising, it looks like  you are in trouble.

Cindy: What makes you think that my business will falloff?


Mike:  I am not saying it will . Only then now its a time to create a positive image of your company in customers mind.
Cindy:  I am sorry Mr.Dandant. Even if I were interested in briefing up our advertising, we really couldnt afford it.

Mike:  If you look at it as an investment you will see that a pays for itself, many times over

Cindy:  I assume you can guarentee that?


Mike:  I can assure you that you wont regret working with us?

Cindy: How do you explain this success you have enjoyed so for with only minimal advertising?

Mike:  You have built a good relationship with a few good customers. I am suggesting that you let us help you to expand your customers base.

Cindy:  I am not convinced that its necessary.

Mike:  Miss. Matts there are hundreads of companys like yours. All fight for the attention of buyers. We help you get that attention.

Cindy:  And then what?


Mike:  Then you have a chance to show them what you can do

Cindy:  I dont know Mr. Dandant. We are a small company trying to control our growth.

Mike:  This give you greater control over your growth. With a broader customer base you can decide what you can do and when you can do it

Cindy:  I can do that now .

Mike:  But with only a few customers. You always run a risk of loosing one or two of them. Then you are not in control any more

Cindy:  I dont know.


Mike. If I just have an hour of your time. I could just explain what adwork can do for you if after that you still not convinced I will packup and leave you alone.
Cindy: Okay. I will give you an hour. I am not promising anything now.

Lady: Well Meyers. How are you holding up?

Meyers: Fine... fine... I had a very interesting topic buzzled out.

Lady: Good. Now What more can I tell you about the company or the position?

Meyers: I am Pretty clear about the job itself. But I would like to know something about the company policies.

Lady: Go Ahead. Thats what I am here for

Meyers: Great. As I told you earlier, I have been doing some work on my own. Does your company have an policy on freelancing.

Lady: Yes we do. Generally we require that our employees limit freelance work to projects unrelated to the company

Meyers: Where do you draw the line?
Lady: For example giving motivational speeches is fine on the other hand developing advertising campaigns for other companies will be unacceptable

Meyers:Okay. That makes sence. You mentioned Europe earlier. Do you have an idea of how much time I would be travelling

Lady: We are expanding in to new markets. So to begin with I would expect frequent trips to europe atleast once a month

Meyers: How long will each trip lost?

Lady: I couldnt really say until we are more deeply involved.

Meyers: I am just looking for a ballpark figure? (ballpark figure means a rough estimate)

Lady: In the beginning,as you developing new accounts I would say the trips will lost from one to two weeks.

Meyers: So I would be spending half the year travelling

Lady: Thats just starting out. I would say with in 5 or 6 months we have things set up so
that you can pull back and let your subordinates handle most of the easy travel.

Meyers: That sound fine. Could we talk about benefits for a moment?

Lady: 0fcourse. Cool beans offers a full range of health benefits as well as stock options for employees.

Meyers: Is there a pension program?

Lady: No. Not a pension per-se (Latin word meaning "in itself") but we do offer a four-oh-one K (401k) plan

Meyers: Is there any matching of contributions on the companys part?

Lady: Yes upto 5 percent(%) of your salary.

Meyers: And when do the benefits kick in?

Lady: With the exception of the 401k plan, you would be eligible, the day you start working here.

Meyers: What about the 401k?

Lady: Enrollment in that is quarterly. So you would be able to enroll with in 3 months, at the most, from the date of hire.

Meyers: Okay and finally, can you tell me about your vacation policy?

Lady: Full time employees receive 2 weeks paid vacation after the first year. After 5 years it goes upto 3 weeks

Meyers: I think that answeres most of my questions

Lady: I will have Willer get you a copy of employee manual. It outlines all the benefits and explains company policies. You can review at you leasure.

Meyers: Thank you. If other questions occur to me, may I call you?

Lady: Ofcourse. Call me anytime
