| Cheryl Stone | [3:48] | I just got a message from Mr. Baker saying that his flight has been delayed until 9 p.m. Weather conditions are terrible there in Chicago. |
| Allan Franklin | [3:50] | Really? But he's supposed to make a presentation to the executives from Harper Telecom today! |
| Maurice Wood | [3:51] | I've got all the visuals ready. But it would be problematic if we don't have a speaker. |
| Allan Franklin | [3:52] | That's an understatement. We need this contract. Otherwise, we may not meet our sales target for the year. |
| Cheryl Stone | [3:54] | Can't we do the presentation ourselves? |
| Allan Franklin | [3:55] | I'm not sure. There are several firms competing for the contract we are trying to get. Harper Telecom could decide to give the contract to someone else if they aren't impressed with our presentation. |
| Cheryl Stone | [3:57] | I think I could do the speaking, but without Mr. Baker's technical background and expertise, our proposal might not sound very convincing. What do you think? |
| Allan Franklin | [3:58] | I agree with you. I think it would be better to call Harper Telecom and try to convince them to listen to his pitch tomorrow morning. That might be our best option. |
| Cheryl Stone | [3:59] | I'm on it. I'll let you know how it goes. |
