Greg, Stan, and Donna work for Pack-It, a maker of trash bags and other consumer goods. After disappointing sales results, they discuss exiting the trash bag business. But a fresh new idea gives them hope for the future.
Greg: Our sales were down again last quarter.
Donna: We've been working our tails off and our results are still lousy!
Greg: Maybe we should exit the trash bag business —just call it quits!
Stan: C'mon.* Let's not throw in the towel yet. We've been down before, but we always come back fighting.
Donna: But this time private-label products are driving us out of business!
Stan: We've got a successful track record. Everybody knows that we offer quality trash bags.
Donna: That's true, but we can't just rest on our laurels forever.
Stan: Well, I have a new idea that's going to turn around our business. It's a new line of trash bags that smell like fresh fruits, such as apples and peaches.
Greg: That sounds like a great idea. I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and get down to business!
Stan: I appreciate your team spirit! Donna, are you on board too?
Donna: Sure. Count me in.
Stan: Great. Let's get everybody else in the company excited about this plan too. I'll count on you two to rally the troops.
* c'mon - This casual expression is short for "come on" and here means "listen to me."
