Questions 156-159 refer to the following memo.

To: Customer Service Personnel

Subject: Meeting next Friday
Date: November 19

Last week we conducted a study to gather opinions about our customer service. The data
are in and they look good. Most people expressed most satisfaction with their
communication with our representatives. Their questions about packaging services,
shipping charges, and the status of their parcels were answered professionally and
promptly.

One area that we need to address is the low number of referrals. Few customers we
approached reported telling others about our services. Based on the answers, most people
are repeat customers who always rely on us for their shipping needs, or they choose us
based on our advertising. Clearly, we fail to request referrals properly.

Therefore, our meeting next Friday will center around this topic. I will design materials
and practice activities to correct this shortcoming. But I would also appreciate it if you
could come up with Borne creative ways to improve our referral rate. Send me your
suggestions and I will be sure to include them in our discussion. I look forward to hearing
from you all.

Engineering Firm to Expand
February 15 – Aucoin-Braud, the French engineering firm best known for its energy – efficiency
power generators, unveiled today its plans for expansion.

Speaking in the press conference in Paris, Aucoin-Braud President Simone Roux announced plans
for the construction of a new global headquarters there.

Construction projects are also slated for the firm’s foreign subsidiaries, Tecnologia, in Genoa,
Italy, and Nonpareil, Inc., in Brussels, Belgium. At both companies, additional production
facilities will be built and staff sizes increased.

TEST 3 6
In order to focus on alternative energy sources such as ocean power, Aucoin-Braud will establish
an additional subsidiary in another international market. When pressed by reporters to specify
which, Roux declined to say, stating only that “Northern Europe has much potential in this respect
and is important to our long-term goals.”

For industry analyst Dieter Veidt, this comes as no surprise. “Aucoin-Braud has invested heavily
in ocean power technology, so Northern European nations like Denmark or Finland are perfect
venues for the firm’s expansion.”

Roux’s final comment at the press conference will undoubtedly fuel speculation on this point.
When asked what her short-term goals were, she replied that she is “planning a seaside vacation in
Denmark.”

163. How does Aucoin-Braud plan to expand?

(A) By increasing funding for research and development
(B) By enlarging its international presence

tonight.

Jorge, I’m authorizing you to make an emergency purchase of portable AC units for the IT

Subject: Ticket 000125659 – Web Conferencing Issues

Dear Ms. Kowalski,

Thank you for contacting us with your concerns. The issue you had this past Wednesday was
caused by servers that crashed due to a database communication issue. We could not anticipate
this problem, so we were unable to warn customers in advance. I assure you that this type of
occurrence is very rare,

In light of your comments, we have decided to reword our alert message from "down for
maintenance” to “experiencing technical difficulties.” That way customers will know the
problem is due to unforeseen circumstances rather than routine near maintenance. As a matter
of fact, our software is hardly ever down for maintenance. When we work on upgrade, the
software is unavailable for just a few minutes, if at all.
We regret the inconvenience this has caused you and are truly grateful for your feedback. In
appreciation of your business, we will be waiving the service fee on your company account
for this month.
Sincerely,
Cindy Trautman, Quipwerx Support
