Key: B
F: As you can see from this chart, sales for last
year were generally disappointing compared to
previous years. In the second quarter sales rose
dramatically before falling to 600,000.
Fortunately, the last quarter showed some
improvement and this has carried on into this
year.

Key: B
M: Although the unemployment rate
unexpectedly dropped to a four-and-a-half year
low of 4.7%, fewer new jobs were created in
January than expected. Analysts had forecast
240,000 but in fact the final total came to
193,000. The Labor Department said 140,000
were generated in the previous month, up from
an earlier figure of 108,000.

Key: C
F: I want us to think in terms of purchasing
more of our products abroad. Weve already
started buying desk lamps directly from an
overseas company, and its saved us a lot of
money. So why dont we import our cell phones
direct from the overseas suppliers rather than go
through a middle man? Or even laptops? I know
there are complications with insurance, but its
worth a try.

Im afraid you wont receive them today, as your
packages have been delivered to a distribution
centre in the wrong part of the country. I
apologise for this, but I can assure you that youll

Key: B
M: As you know, we introduced three new ready
meals into our range, and Im here to report on
sales. We expected to have most success with
family restaurants, as the meals were designed
to appeal to children as much as to adults, and
indeed that was the case. Weve had
satisfactory sales to factory canteens, but will
make changes to the ingredients of meals sold
to aircraft companies.

will do the job well. They're a small company
but their bid was great.
F: I thought Goldberg were cheaper?

Hambleton ... I spent ages trying to arrange
meetings with them! They might be the biggest
but really ...

they would. It didnt seem to be very
professional for such a large organisation.

decision, then.

workshops and lectures, and everything went to
time for once. It was a shame there werent that
many participants I think the fact that some of
the speakers didnt confirm until the last minute
probably put some people off.

M: Ah yes, hello, if it's about the new prices, the
new list was sent out a couple of days ago.
F: I've discussed those with Finance, and there's
no problem. Your transport manager mentioned
revising the insurance conditions for delivering
goods, and I need to know more facts.
M: Yes, we're speeding up deliveries on some
goods, so we've had to make some changes.

F: Events organisers have just signed a deal
with the construction company Brentwood to
sponsor a golf tournament at the Seratok Golf
and Country Club. Brentwood says that although
it is often hard to assess whether sponsorship
makes the company more visible than other,
more conventional, advertising, it is good for
clients to connect such a healthy leisure activity
with their brand.

R: Now listen to the example.
M: Being a freelance consultant Id say the advantages
certainly outweigh the disadvantages but little things can
make life difficult at first. For example, having to manage my
own diary for the first time in 25 years came as something
of a shock. I went through about 15 erasers in the first six
months and I double-booked myself for meetings on at least
a couple of occasions.
R: He is talking about a lack of administrative support, so
you write I as your answer.

R: Question 23. Person 1.

F: People think what youll miss is the routine of having an
office to go to every day but that actually gave me a great
sense of freedom. What I found tough at the beginning was
choosing which projects to reject and which ones looked the
most promising in terms of financial reward and future offers
of work. If youre not careful, you can end up saying yes to
everything that comes your way.

M: I think because of the technology available nowadays
you dont feel isolated from other professionals in your field;
there are plenty of electronic substitutes for being in an
office. But what you dont have is the opportunity to chat to
people from other departments, with expertise in other
areas. I really missed that and hadnt realised how much I
had depended on being able to check out other peoples
opinions before taking an idea forward.
k
l
a
t
e
w

F: I think the hardest thing for me was the change I had to
make in my mind. I went from having a senior position in a
large corporation with all that comes with that; the car, a
generous expense account, etc, as well as the respect of
colleagues, to being a nobody. People didnt automatically
take my calls any more.

M: I found it very challenging to adjust to the fact that there
wasnt anyone to call when my computer broke down. Its
very frustrating having to sort out these things on your own.
It takes so much time. But other than that, Id recommend
the life of a consultant to any of my former colleagues.
F: Youve always got to think ahead three months or six
months to the next project to make sure youve got enough
work lined up to pay the bills. At the beginning, it was hard
not having a regular pay cheque at the end of every month.
Some people find it a terrible worry. But work soon picked
up for me, and you actually end up getting paid more for
consultancy work.

F: Good morning and welcome to the Chamber of
Commerces Small Business Group. Id like to welcome
Paul Doherty, whos a website designer.
M: Good morning. Setting up a shop window on the
internet is becoming essential for small firms. Have a look
at websites produced by big companies producing the same
type of goods so you can see how they do it. But expand
your horizons from your local area as you can get lots of
ideas from websites from companies in other countries.
After doing your research, the next step is whether to
produce the pages yourself or pay for a website designer to
do the work for you. If you do it yourself, you have
complete control over how your pages will look and you can
update them quickly and whenever you want. There are
quite a few packages around to help you and you can get a
very professional finish. However, to do it yourself may not
be the inexpensive option as youll need some quite
sophisticated software, not to mention a powerful computer
and good quality screen.

Now, to produce the web pages yourself with good software,
all you have to do is provide the text and photographs. A
digital camera is handy, as is a scanner, as you can scan in
your logo. Dont try to put too much information on a single
page, and, although it may be tempting to use lots of
different colours and type styles and sizes, doing so will
make your pages look messy. Keep to just one or two sizes
with the same typeface.
Now, what else should a good website include? Well, while
some websites add counters to pages so you can see how
many people have looked at them, I think they are of little
practical use and can slow the loading of the page in the
web browser. Instead, present the human face of your
business by, for example, telling people about your
management team. You can also use simple graphics
where they illustrate a point better than words, but take care
visitors often only spend ten seconds on a site before
moving on and they are often put off by flashy graphics.

Make sure your full address and telephone number are
prominently displayed on your home page. Check your
emails at least twice a day as your customers will often
expect a reply on the same day. And remember, and this is
a point often forgotten, to update your web pages with
current prices and any special offers.
Now, you need to get customers to return to your site.
Some people do this by offering a tip of the day or by
providing online tools like a free calculator. However, I
believe that making your website as interactive as possible
so people feel involved, works best. You can do this with
quizzes for example. This is what is called sticky content.
Now, remember your website is one of the most important
marketing tools you have, so (fade ....)

FINANCING BUSINESS START-UPS
e
w

w
Three venture capitalists, Michael Flowers, Reg Greenham

and Lee Wang, were asked about financing business startups. According to Michael Flowers, when starting a new
business, it is important to accept professional management,
and hire an effective CEO. Entrepreneurs should, even
before they begin to raise money, ask how they can use the
least financing possible. They should purchase goods and
services at discounts, and require customers to settle
accounts promptly.

When Greenham is considering whether to finance a new

venture, his biggest concern is price. 'I am always looking for
great ideas and market opportunities with strong leadership,
at reasonable prices.' He also looks for entrepreneurs who
are able to articulate the corporate vision, and he tries to be
open-minded about financing first-time entrepreneurs. He
acknowledges that many investors are unwilling to back a
younger person's first business.

A Fashion chain Cloud Nine has posted half-year results

that are a new record for the company, after pre-tax
profits leapt 19% on a year earlier to 21 million. The
group has been further encouraged by trading over the
holiday period, which saw like-for-like sales improve 2%
in the five weeks to January 3. This improvement was
slower than the 6% increase reported in the preceding
months but comes during challenging times.

B Mobile phone retailer PhoneKing has said third-quarter

trading was stronger than anticipated, and upgraded its
full-year profit expectations. The retailer said revenues
in its retail and distribution operations grew 27.7% on a
like-for-like basis. It also said that subscription
connections have grown by 30.1% to 690,000, and are
now outperforming other areas. Founder Julia

C Retail group Meades announced another weekly gain

in overall sales in spite of noticeably mixed fortunes
among its 25 department stores. Signs of a slowdown
during the last days of its clearance sale proved
unfounded when the group posted an improvement for
the week to January 10. Out-of-town branches were
very strong performers, with sales gains of up to 32.6%.
e
w
e
w
D Clothing retailer Gilmerton said its Chief Executive had

stepped down as a result of a 5.2% fall in sales. Its retail
sales in the 22 weeks to January 10 fell 11.3% on a likefor-like basis against the previous year, although this
was marginally better than the groups performance in
the first 15 weeks of that period. It admitted that profits
for the UK retail business next year would probably be
lower than last year.

THE FUTURE NEEDS OF COMPANIES
Executives who responded to a recent survey believe that

failure to innovate is one of the greatest risks facing
businesses in the next few years. In addition, advances in
technology were cited by almost 60 per cent of the
executives (87) .. being the single most critical
force changing the global marketplace. (88) ..
executives, for the most part, remain optimistic about global
business prospects, they realise that there will be difficult
times ahead. They recognise that, (89) .. they
are to survive in the highly competitive market conditions of
the coming years, driving innovation and harnessing
advances in technology will be of vital importance. The IT
industry is certain to play (90) .. ever more
important role in managing the complex operations of
todays companies. Indeed, the fastest growing businesses
today are those that have placed IT (91) .. the
core of their management strategy.
