Task: Listern to the presentation of a sales agent. In the schedule point out the steps of the interperise work. Connect them with the line.
There are two types of product range represented
on this graph: product ranges A and B. They are
represented by two different curves.
Let’s look at product A first. In 1982, Microtex
sold 100,000 units in this range, and sales
remained at this level in 1983. Then in 1984
turnover increased to 120,000, and by 1985 the
level was 140,000. Again, in 1986, there was a
steady increase to 150,000. The next year sales
of range A fell slightly to 140,000 and then
fell dramatically in 1988 to reach a low point
at 90,000. Since then, there has been a steady
increase: to 100,000 in 1989; then a rise to
110,000 in 1990; the same increase again, to
120,000 in 1991; and again, range A sales have
reached a peak of 140,000 in 1992. Now product
range B. Range
Â
was the major product range in 1982; at a level
of 150,000 units per year. Sales in this range
enjoyed a steady period for three years, until
1984, but then in 1985 there was a sharp drop to
110,000. The sales force managed to achieve a
slight increase in 1986 (to 120,000), but then
the downturn continued: in 1987, 110,000;
100,000 in 1988; 1989, 90,000; 1990, a low point
of 80,000. Since then sales have remained
steady, and we think that turnover in the
product range has reached a trough which may
continue for two or three years to come. |
