Maria Andreou (9:06 A.M.) Good morning, Jakob and Sandra. I need help with the focus group with the photographers that is taking place on Thursday morning. I'm no longer available to lead it.
Jakob Wendt (9:09 A.M.) That's unfortunate. We need to follow up with that meeting to advise our client about what is important to potential customers.
Maria Andreou (9:10 A.M.) Exactly. So I would rather not have to reschedule. The client is expecting our report early next week. Would either of you be able to conduct the group instead of me?
Sandra Liu (9:12 A.M.) Sorry, Maria. I'm traveling out of town tomorrow for the marketing conference, and won't be back until Friday.
Jakob Wendt (9:15 A.M.) I've never led a focus group before, but I'm happy to do it.
Maria Andreou (9:17 A.M.) Great. I'll send you the participant consent form by e-mail. Remember that at the start of the group session, each participant will need to sign a copy.
Jakob Wendt (9:18 A.M.) OK. How many copies will be needed?
Sandra Liu (9:19 A.M.) Actually, there's no need. I have copies left over from another group I ran last Tuesday. They're still on my desk.
Jakob Wendt (9:20 A.M.) I'll stop by and pick them up later today.
Maria Andreou (9:21 A.M) Thank you both. This means we can meet and work on the advertising report for the client next Monday.
