Welcome to ESLPod.com's “Business Meetings" course: lesson six.
I'm your host, Dr. Jeff McQuillan, coming to you from the Center for Educational Development in beautiful Los Angeles, California.
In the fifth lesson of “Business Meetings,” we learned business vocabulary for giving presentations and talking about visuals at formal and informal business meetings.
In this sixth lesson, we're going to learn how to end a presentation.
Let's listen to Chris as he ends his presentation at the formal meeting.
Chris: Using all of the information that Ms. Graff has just presented as a starting point, my product development team has been trying to enhance our product to include more of customer's desired features.
Our specific proposals were described in detail in the memo that was circulated last week, so I see no reason to cover them in depth at this point in time.
However, we do need to open a dialogue about which changes we're going to implement, and a timeline for doing so.
So, as our presentation concludes, I want to repeat the key points.
First, our market share is showing a downward trend.
Second, our marketing campaign isn't appropriate for our target audience.
Third, many key features are missing from our product.
Our recommendations are to revamp our marketing campaign and redesign our product.
We are facing some serious problems, and we need your input in order to deal with them as quickly as possible.
Without further ado, I'd like to open the floor for discussion.
Shawn will be our moderator.
