  1. Getting ready (7 points)


Sue has arranged everything with Jake. Now, she
has to prepare her team for the visit. The words
in bold are not where they should be. Put them
where they belong.

A. As you all know, Jake Sims, the CEO of Blast,
is visiting our offices next Friday. There’s a lot
at background.

B. So, we all need to make a good
trust.

C. I’ve already prepared some
information on the company and
Jake’s rapport.
I want you to read it carefully.

D. This is our chance to show that we take
stake in our work. If
we are successful, I’m certain we can win a lot
of business with Blast.

E. They have over 15,000 employees in the
UK alone and often arrange events for
them and the company’s business partners.
We all need to play a role in gaining
their premises.

F. Take the opportunity to build a
pride with
him and his team.

G. We need to make an effort from
the moment he arrives on our
impression.
I offered to pick him up at the station,
but he wants to make his own way here.
Let’s make sure we’re ready for him!

TIP!
If you don’t have access to someone’s calendar, ask for alternative
dates and times when you are making arrangements for a visit.
This will make it easier to find a date that everyone can accept.


TIP!
Don’t let your guests just wander through the offices when they
arrive. You should have someone, ideally a friendly receptionist, to
greet important clients with a smile. It’s also important that your
reception area is warm and inviting. Do you have any pictures or
photographs that show what your company values are?


The perfect welcome:
a hot cup of coffee
