Problem: M: Good morning. Walter Barry here, calling from London. Could I speak to Mr. Grand, please? W: Who's calling, please? M: Walter Barry, from London. W: What is it about, please? M: Well, I understand that your company has a chemical processing plant. My own company, LCP, Liquid Control Products, is a leader in safety from leaks in the field of chemical processing. I would like to speak to Mr. Grand to discuss ways in which we could help TGC protect itself from such problems and save money at the same time. W: Yes, I see. Well, Mr. Grand is not available just now. M: Can you tell me when I could reach him? W: He's very busy for the next few days then he'll be away in New York. So it's difficult to give you a time. M: Could I speak to someone else, perhaps? W: Who in particular? M: A colleague for example? W: You're speaking to his personal assistant. I can deal with calls for Mr. Grand. M: Yes, well, could I ring him tomorrow? W: No, I'm sorry he won't be free tomorrow. Listen, let me suggest something. You send us details of your products and services, together with references from other companies and then we'll contact you. M: Yes, that's very kind of you. I have your address. W: Very good, Mr.... M: Barry. Walter Barry from LCP in London. W: Right, Mr. Barry. We look forward to hearing from you. M: Thank you. Goodbye. W: Bye. What was said before this conversation?
