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!
