When I was asked to do a presentation on ‘Where WebWare is going, and what I can do to help

0:12

it get there,’ my first thought was simple: me!

0:16

As you’ve already seen, I’ve got a lot of skills, and the right kind of personality

0:20

needed to do a job like this...

0:22

Here’s a slide I made!

0:24

You see that – that’s my sales team – they love me!

0:29

Certainly going to be sad to see me leave...

0:33

Outside the box thinking – that’s what I’ve got...!

0:36

Ok.

0:37

To start with, I did a careful SWOT analysis using the data I had available, which is obviously

0:43

only partial.

0:44

I looked at aspects such as competitors, online visibility, changing technologies and R&D...

0:52

On the basis of this, I believe WebWare should carry out some careful market research, strengthen

0:57

its brand awareness in secondary markets, and improve the flexibility of its offer.

1:04

If this produces positive results, I think it should be possible to maintain the premium

1:09

pricing policy...

1:10

Here’s the sales figures for the last job I did – all down to me!

1:17

Blue sky thinking!

1:19

Finally, to finish my presentation, I’d like to play you a song I wrote...

1:26

Ok, Ok... that’s enough.

1:29

Thanks Daniel...

1:30

Great!

1:31

So does that mean I’ve got the job?

1:33

Erm, we’ll be in touch over the next five days to let you know...

1:37

OK great, thank you.

1:38

This is how I’d predict a sales pattern would go.

1:42

I have to emphasise these are only speculative results at the moment.

1:47

The key words are: caution, adaptability, and consolidation of main product lines – WebWare’s

1:53

“cash cows,” if you like.

1:56

It’s important to be flexible, yet reliable.

2:00

Oh, and another thing is you need to improve the delivery times on your online orders!

2:08

I hope all that’s clear.

2:09

Do you have any questions?

2:11

No, thank you Sarah – that’s all very clear – you’ve given us quite a lot to

2:16

think about there!

2:17

Yes, thanks a lot Sarah.

2:18

We’ll be in touch over the next few days to let you know about the appointment.

2:22

Thank you both for your time.

2:24

It’s been a pleasure meeting both of you.

2:32

Bye!
