Good morning everybody. Welcome to the 7th International 1 _ sales Conference. It’s great to see so many of you — old 2 _ faces and new ones! Now we’re going to have two very busy days, but I am sure you’ll 3 _ enjoy _ them. As soon as I finish, which won’t be very long, I promise you, we’ll begin with the first 4 __ part_ , that is, our Sales Managers will be giving sales 5 _ reports_ for their own countries. We’ll stay together for that part as I feel it’s 6 __ useful _ for everybody to see the overall picture. Then, after we’ve had lunch, we’re going to 7 __ divide into _ groups to discuss our targets for next year and how to 8 _ _reach _ them. Dinner this evening is at eight o’clock. We’d like everyone to meet in the bar for drinks from about seven o’clock. 9 ___ That way_ _ we can enjoy a drink together until the coach leaves for the 10 __retaurant at 7:45.
