– The Boss isn`t doing as well as we have hoped. We didn`t launch on the right time. I myself don`t think the market was ready for us. Dealer Dan came later and cheaper. Maybe we should move down market in a couple of key territories.

– Excuse me, can I interrupt? I`ve just had a call from Danny McNeil at Eromart.

– Oh, really?

– He wants some meeting to discuss discounts. Although he`s talking about substantial order, he wants better terms than I can authorize. Would you prefer to deal with him yourself?

– How large a discount does he want?

– He didn`t say. But I think it`s higher than anything we`ve ever given before. He loved the product, though. I think he`s ready to negotiate.

– I think it`s time we worked on this together. Do you agree?

– Yes…

– Edward, are you coming down to the work shop? Derek wants to show us his latest idea.

– OK, I`ll join you later.

– No, I think Derek wants to talk to the whole team. Come on!
