Answer 1

The company annual report shows that sales figures were lower than the previous year. This is no surprise due to the recession but what is more disappointing than this is the clear evidence that some of our clients have switched to another supplier. We are aware that there are cheaper suppliers than ourselves, but this may not be the most important factor. New suppliers are more efficient and more flexible than we are. It is more worrying than anything else. The economic situation is getting critical and if we do not compare favorably with our bigger competitors, then we will not survive. We always have the most high reputation in the world of business but we are in danger of losing that forever. It is not easy to be the best, but that is what we should be aiming for.
