Бакхерст: Заходите, пожалуйста, м-р Шатлворт. Вы уже виделись с мистером Мартином?

Shuttleworth: Yes, I have, Mr. Buckhurst. He's just told me about my new area. He told me to come and see you about the new salary scheme.

Бакхерст: А он объяснил вам что это означает?

Shuttleworth: Not really.

Бакхерст: Ну, как вы знаете, наши торговые агенты до сих пор получали базовую ставку плюс комиссионные от продажи товара. Новой системой оплаты будет дифференцированная зарплата, основанная на доле с продаж.

Shuttleworth: What really interests me is whether I shall earn more money or less!

Бакхерст: Думаю, вы увидите, что изменение будет в лучшую сторону. Мы внимательно обследовали все наши районы, подсчитали приблизитель-ный объем продажи товаров и, соответственно, размер вашей зарплаты. Единственное, что вам нужно будет делать - это придерживаться намеченной квоты или, еще лучше, превысить ее. Проще говоря, вы можете рассчитывать на более высокую базовую ставку.

Shuttleworth: I see.

Бакхерст: Мы сейчас постепенно вводим эту систему и видим, что нашим торговым агентам она нравится больше. А как вы относитесь к переводу в юго-западный район?

Shuttleworth: Oh, I'm very pleased. I think it's about time I had a new area.
