31.3 will come back (future prediction)

31.3.1 Shu-fen is complaining to her boss, Karen, that the digital media agency she used to

produce a social media marketing plan has given her a very poor plan.

Shu-fen: Karen. Did you have time to look at the email I sent you about

the social media marketing plan? Should I ask a different agency to redo

the plan?

Karen:  No.  I  think  you  should  email  this  agency  and  explain  in  much

more detail what you want.

Shu-fen: Ok. But, I think they did a poor job.

Karen:  I  think  you  weren't  clear  enough.  If  you’re  not  clear  about  what

you  want,  the  agency  will  come  back  to  you  with  a  poor  solution.  You

need to tell them exactly what you need.

Shu-fen: Ok. I'll email them.

31.3.2 Dave is nervous because he has a meeting with his boss tomorrow and he has to

convince her to accept his proposal for a new project. Dave is talking to his friend, Tom

about it.

Dave: What am I going to do if she doesn't like my proposal? I've worked

for weeks on it.

Tom: You have to really sell your proposal to your boss. If you don't, she

will  probably  come  back  with  a  counter  proposal.  You  need  to  be

assertive.

Dave: I know. I'll try. I'm not very good at being assertive.

Tom: Don't worry. You'll be fine. Just believe in yourself and your ideas. I

think they're great!

Dave: Thanks.
