Exercise 2. Read the text.
Our company is one of the leading trade companies of stationary goods in Minsk. We deliver a wide range of stationary goods to our home markets, to the markets of Ukraine and Russia. We are also interested in selling our goods to the countries of the East. The company can guarantee shipment of the goods within 10 days. Our goods are reliable in operation and our customers are satisfied with the quality of our goods.
We do business with many countries interested in buying our goods. Our goods are of high quality and that’s why they are in great demand. We’ve got a lot of customers and a lot of orders. Usually those, who want to buy our goods, get in touch with our secretary on the phone. And then our Sales manager makes appointments and invites them to come to our offices.
When a representative of a company arrives in Minsk and comes to our office we usually have talks in friendly atmosphere. As it’s not polite to go straight to business the manager starts with some remarks about the weather and asks his partner about his trip, the hotel he is staying at, and the impressions of the city. The manager may also ask him about his family or his health and after that they get down to business.
The negotiating parties discuss prices and terms of payment and delivery, packing and guarantee period. When the agreement is reached on the business matters discussed the date of signing the contract is scheduled. We are punctual in business and never break the appointment.
When the contract is signed we do our best not to make any infringements in any clauses of the contract during its fulfillment. That’s why our company enjoys high reputation and we have no claims on the part of our customers
