George    : First, I'll quickly go over the main points of the last meeting.

Chairman: …. (finishes) , if no one has anything to add, let's move on to today's agenda.

George    : I suggest we each give a little background on the suggestions we discussed last week.

Chairman:Could you repeat that, please?

George    : Let's start by going over the research you've done on the suggestions.

Chairman: You'll find most of the information outlined in the summary documents in front of you.

George    : These figures are interesting. It's clear to me that customer communications are not working as they should.

Chairman: Yes, our marketing efforts really haven't been effective to date.

George    : I suggest we break up into groups and discuss how we can improve our message.
