Elementary ‐The Office ‐ Closing The Deal (C0205)

Mr. Smith: Im glad you could find time to meet with me, Mr. Johnson. I cant think of a nicer environment for our meeting today, the ambiance here is lovely!

Mr. Johnson: No problem, if possible I always combine business with pleasure. Now, lets

hear more about these chocolates youre offering.

Mr. Smith: Well, as you know, I have recently become the sole distributor for Grangers

Gourmet Bon-bons here in the United States. Theyre a new manufacturer and are looking to

break into the luxury market. Naturally, your restaurant sprang into my mind immediately. I

think your brand exemplifies many ofthe same traits as Grangers and serving these chocolates

would really add to your reputation for providing elegant, luxurious, first class dining. Mr. Johnson: Hmmm, sounds interesting. . . . gourmet chocolates , where are they

produced? Belgium?

Mr. Smith: Actually, the factory is located in Scotland.

Mr. Johnson: Really? I didnt think they were known fortheir luxury chocolate production. . .

Mr. Smith: Thats what makes this such a fantastic opportunity! The government is one

hundred percent supportive of creating new export markets and has guaranteed a low tariff for

all wholesale orders of over one thousand units. Theyve also reduced the red tape involved at

customs as well. Here, I brought these especially for you, try one!

as I personally visit the factory to make sure no ones cutting corners with the ingredients.

Mr. Johnson: Yes, very interesting flavors. . . . . . . Slightly spicy, very unique, thats for

sure. Exactly what ARE the ingredients?

Mr. Smith: I have it on highest authority that this traditional secret recipe has been handed

down inthe Granger family for generations. Im sure you can keep a secret. Buttermilk, cacao

beans, sugar and Haggis.

stuff it inside ofthe sheeps stomach. Mr. Johnson: Ah, get back to you. Mr. Smith: Mr. Johnson? Mr. Johnson?
