譯文
梅甘：看樣子第一季度我們遠未達成指標啊。
西蒙：這是怎麼回事？我覺得我們的營銷計劃很棒啊！
梅甘：我有點擔心市場調查的力度不夠。
西蒙：營銷計劃確實是根據調查結果而製訂的。我想，可能有一些調查數據有點兒過時了。
梅甘：當我們將網路、電子商務和電子營銷也納入營銷計劃時，我們必須將計劃基於當下的調查結果。
西蒙：說得對。
梅甘：我們的設計怎麼樣？你不覺得它們有點兒過時了？
西蒙：與競爭對手相比，我覺得我們的設計看起來缺乏競爭力。
梅甘：我們要在第三季度的結果出來之前，扭轉這種局麵。
西蒙：我可以先和設計團隊商討一下新的設計。
梅甘：很好。我會諮詢一下電子商務專家，看看怎樣優化我們的網路使用。
西蒙：不錯。我們開始行動吧。
