Elementary ‐ The Office ‐ Driving Sales (C0010) 

A: All right, people. We’re holding this meeting today because we’ve got to do something about our sales, and we need to do it NOW! I want concrete solutions. How do you intend to drive sales... Roger? 

B: Well, in fact, we’re the most expensive in the market, so maybe we need to lower our prices to match the competitors? 

A: Lower our prices? Not very creative. It’ll never fly with Swan. What kind of thinking is that? Geez. Anybody else have a better plan? Natalie? 

C: Um, perhaps, um, a sales promotion. Maybe a two-for-one offer, or something like that! 

A: What? That’s the same thing. Bad idea. Really bad idea. Dammit people come on! Think! The CEO will be here any minute. 

D: Do we have any ideas yet? 

C: Yes Mr. Swan, we were kind of considering a two for- one offer to get more competitive. 

D: A two-for-one promotion? Hmm. I kind of like the sound of that. It sounds like something we should consider. 

A: Yeah, exactly. Just what I was thinking! In fact, that’s a brilliant idea! I’m glad we thought of that. Very creative.
