[M]
I can't believe our sales
targets for this month.
I don't think I
can make that many sales.
[W] I'm
surprised at the level of sales activity our manager expects from
us over the next quarter.
[M]
Especially since we're a new company, and it requires more sales calls
to translate into a sale.
[M]
I'm developing a projected financial statement for my business.
[W] That's
great. It will help you forecast
periods where you
might have financial problems.
[M] I'll
also use it to see what kind of profits we can expect to yield this quarter.
[M] The financial statement will give you a good picture of your overall business health.
[W] I'll
need a perspective on where my financial challenges will be.
[M] The
income statement will show you in detail
how much money you
need to make each day and where your expenses are.
[M] If my desired yearly income for running the business is
$50,000, can you show me how much money the business will have to bring in to
cover costs?
[W]
Certainly. I'll need to see some data on typical expenses and profits associated with your
kind of business.
[M]
My business is unique. I don't know how realistic
the chances are of
getting good data.
