Woman: Sure, what’s the name?
Man: The surname’s Jaye. First name Stephen.
Woman: How does he spell his surname?
Man: J-A-Y-E. Got that?
Woman: Oh yes, here we are … live at a hundred and eighty-three School Road, Barnfield…
Man: Yes, that’s the one.
Woman: And you say he was working in Finance?
Man: Uhm, Customer Service, actually.
Woman: Aah – they had lots of students working for them last summer.
Man: Well, the tax people want to know his exact job title – I’m not sure why.
Woman: Mm, let me see … He was an office assistant.
Man: Right, got that. They also want to know about his monthly earnings.
Woman: Let’s have a look … five hundred and thirty-eight pounds seventy a month … Oh, sorry, he was a scale one, so that’s four hundred and fifty-seven pounds sixty. Anything else?

Woman: Hello, Blackwell Printers. Julie Davidson speaking. How may I help you?
Man: Hello, This is Mark Jones from Europe Holidays. I was hoping to speak to Steven Kirby about the stationery you’re printing for us.
Woman: I’m afraid Steven’s away until Friday.
Man: Oh-you see I’m not very happy with the business cards and I wanted to see if I could make a couple of changes to the paper too.
Woman: Would you like me to pass on a message?
Man: Yes, please. The thing is, I’ve just received your proofs – the cards themselves are fine, but you seem to have misunderstood the quantities. I’m sure I asked for five hundred for each of the marketing executives and seven hundred and fifty for me but you’ve put everyone down for seven hundred and fifty.
Woman: Right, I’ve made me a note of that. Is there anything else?
Man: Yes, well this is my mistake really. Could you ask Steven to move the company logo further to the left? It’s too close to the address at the moment. I think that’s all for now. Thanks.

Man: Good morning. Marketing Department. Peter Menzies speaking.
Woman: Hello. Could I speak to John Fitzgerald, please?
Man: I’m afraid he’s not in the office at the moment.
Woman: Well, this is Elizabeth Parnell calling. I wanted to talk to John about the meeting next week. You see, I only get back on Tuesday night from a trade fair in the States.
Man: So, would you like me to give him a message?
Woman: Yes, could you ask him if we can postpone Wednesday’s meeting? Till after lunch. That would be easier. I was originally going to be at ten a.m.
Man: OK. I’ll ask him to change it. I’ll get back to you with a time.
Woman: Thanks. And could you also ask him to add another item for discussion at the meeting? I thought we were going to talk about the revised budgets – but I can’t see this on the agenda.
Man: OK. I’d better ask him to call you …
Woman: Yes, please. I’m at Head Office at the moment. Can he phone me here today – I won’t be back at my own desk until tomorrow afternoon.
Man: Right, I’ll give him the message.
Woman: Thanks.
Man: Bye.
Woman: Goodbye.

Man: Hello. This is Guy Cooper from Centron Electronics here. I believe you rang for some advice about your alarm system, which isn’t functioning properly. The message I got said you weren’t sure if you needed someone to come and sort it out, or if we could advise you over the phone. Well perhaps you’d like to get back to me as soon as it’s convenient and tell me exactly what the problem is, and I’ll see what I can do.

[pause]
Nineteen
Woman: Well, as you say, Redlon has been supplying us for years but, quite honestly, two-thirds of the complaints we receive about our products are actually due to faults in components we’ve had from Redlon. So I talked to the Production Manager and he agreed that I should look at some alternatives. Future World’s range is fine for us, and one of their customers who I spoke to recommended them highly, so that’s why we’ve changed to using them.

[pause]
Twenty
Woman: The competition’s getting tougher, and you know we’ve facing serious problems. We need to see more benefit from the undeniably hard work we’re putting in, and this means saying no to jobs which aren’t profitable. It would be much more beneficial to put all our efforts into winning higher-margin contracts. So the way I feel you can help most is by identifying the types of contracts which bring in the income we need in order to ensure our future.

[pause]
Twenty-one
Man: John Woods here, phoning about the project we discussed earlier. Could you give me a ring so that we can talk about it a bit more? I’ve done a few calculations and I’m beginning to wonder whether it’s really a practical proposition. I still think the project’s got potential, but there are significant additional costs which we hadn’t taken into account. So could you get back to me as soon as you can, please?

[pause]
Twenty-two
Woman: Hello, Sally here, from Pagwell Paints, returning your call. I’m very sorry you aren’t happy with the latest consignment you’ve had from us. It’s rather strange, because following your complaint about the last delivery, we did in fact take action to change the specifications in the way you suggested. So it isn’t quite fair to say that we ignored your advice. I know it’s important to achieve the consistency that you require, but perhaps your recommendation wasn’t exactly what’s needed.

[pause]
Now listen to the recording again.

That is the end of Part Two.
