He replied that the most important thing was to jump at every opportunity. "But how do you know when an opportunity comes along?" came the next question. He replied, "You don't. You just keep jumping".This is a lesson for everyone in business trying to find new customers. The important thing is to make the most of the slightest opportunity that may come along. Concentrate on establishing an extensive network of possible new customers and make an extra effort for that initial contract. (example) But don't simply ask the receptionist. If you do, you will almost certainly be put through to a junior member of staff. What you should do is to ask the receptionist to put you through to the Managing Director's secretary. (8) But once you have it, simply thank the secretary and hang up. In a couple of days call again and ask to speak to this top person. Say, "I was speaking to the Managing Director's secretary a couple of days ago about a business proposal, and they suggested that I spoke to you". (9) This is when you should use the rule of 'ten to'. The person you are going to see is very busy and will not want to waste any time. It's likely that they will think that your visit will tale from the time you suggest to the next o'clock. So, don't suggest you ll be’ dropping in at two o'clock or they'll imagine you'll be staying until three. Instead say, "I'm in your area next Tuesday. Could you spare me ten minutes, say at nine-fifty, or if it's more convenient for you, at ten to five?" (10) And that's it. Your ten-minute appointment with a new customer.After achieving your first success of the day, it's time to plan the rest of your time. (11) Try to get more appointments. If your first appointment is for nine-fifty, for example, see if you can arrange another one somewhere else at the end of the day, say at four-fifty, and then two more either side of lunch. (12) You can build a whole week's worth of potential business around this procedure. FPT Corp.

English Test.Part threeQuestions 13 - 20• Read the text below about a course run by a company called Sonam for its managers.• Answer questions 13 - 30 on the opposite pageEnglish test B – bec2 – 40 questions5Sonam In-house Course: Finance for ManagersThe Training Department has been asked to run this very successful course again. It will take place from 10 to 12 October at Head Office.1. This is an intensive, practical, residential course with the purpose of improving the ability of managers to deal with the financial and numerical aspects of their work. It will cover:• the underlying principles of financial management• developing the skills needed in planning and implementing a budget• improving the ability of managers to read and interpret accounting data• understanding and interpreting Sonam internal financial systems.By the end of the three days, managers will have a greater knowledge of how finance works in Sonam. They will also have learned how a more effective use of information technology is essential for improving profitability.2. There was very positive feedback after the April course, especially from the managers of the more recently established departments, who particularly appreciated the practical and 'Sonambased' aspects of the course. We believe that this course meets the needs of non-financial managers who may already have some degree of involvement in budget planning and financial management as part of their job, and who wish to increase their expertise in job-related finance. The course is not intended for managers who have undergone a professional training in finance.3. Participants will have to do a certain amount of work in preparation for the course. Managers will be asked to analyse the financial procedures of their own departments. This will support a programme of group exercises and case studies to stimulate discussion and decide on action, relating specifically to actual Sonam issues and problems. The topics expected to come out of this work are: costing methods and cost control, the structure of Sonam internal accounting systems, profit analysis and cash-flow forecasts, capital and revenue spending, and the practical tools of measurement in financial performance.4. Tim Reeves is the author of a well-known series of business skills publications. He has particular expertise in the needs of a medium-sized company with our range of business activities. The other consultant involved will be Peter Harrington, an ex-Sonam Financial Manager, whose special contribution has been to relate the course content to current Sonam systems and procedures. Following feedback from the April course and recent management recommendations, more attention will be given to the details of Sonam pricing policy.Please send completed internal application forms to Ros Dixon as soon as possible if you would like to reserve a place on this course. Further details of accommodation and exact timings will be distributed within three days. If you require further information now, please contact me on 4452.Roger Pearson, Training. FPT Corp.
