Boss            Hello, Brian. Come in. Take a seat.

Brian          Thanks.

Boss            I understand you want to go on a training course?

Brian          Yes, that’s right. It’s a sales training course and it was recommended to me by Joanne Barnes, who did the training last year. She said it was excellent. I really want to advance my career in sales and I think that this is the course for me.

Boss            Which course are we talking about?

Brian          It’s called ‘Selling by objectives’ and it’s run by the Institute of Sales and Marketing in north London. It starts on October the 16^th.

Boss            I know the course and it’s very good. It’s a two-week course, I believe.

Brian          That’s right.

Boss            Hmm. October is a very busy month, as you know. I don’t usually give anyone time off during the three months before Christmas. We need you to be at work if we’re going to meet our sales targets.

Brian          I know. But if I can improve my selling skills, I’ll be much more effective after the course. I should be able to make up for the time off by increasing sales in November and December.

Boss            Hm. Another problem is that we don’t have much money left in the training budget for this year. What are the costs exactly?

Brian          The course itself costs £1,900, but I’d also need some expenses, to cover the cost of travel to London and so on.

Boss            So with accommodation, we’re probably looking at around £2,500 in total. I’m afraid that’s out of the question.

Brian          It doesn’t need to cost that much. My parents live in North London, and I could stay with them, so I won’t need a hotel.

Boss            Well, you’ve been with the company for three years and you’ve shown yourself to be enthusiastic and hard-working. So I’m in favour of you doing some further sales training. But I’m afraid I can’t let you go before the end of the year. If you want to do the course in January or February, and if you can keep the costs down to a maximum of £2,000, then I can agree to that.

Brian          OK. Thanks very much. I’ll find out if they are running the course again in January or February.

Boss            Put the full details of the course and the exact costs in a memo and let me have it by the end of the month. Then I can add it to the budget for next year.

Brian          Thanks. I will.
