Mr. Higgins: leans forward, smirking Well, ain't this a circus. U think ur proposal's better? LOL!
What would you say if I told you I found out what has been hurting your sales?
Mr. Higgins: rolls eyes Oh boy, another management guru talking about "disrupting the status quo." Spill it, Ms. Lagoon. What's the silver bullet?
Walks up to him and goes through his emails. Your company is flooded with tons of emails that people don't even open. That's one thing that's hurting your sales.
leans back, crossing arms So, Ms. Lagoon, are you suggesting that we abandon our current email marketing strategy and adopt yours instead?
No.. what I'm saying is that you need to get rid of those useless people who don't even open those emails. It just makes it so that spam filters misjudge your emails as junk mail and land in the spam folders.
smirks confidently Ms. Lagoon, let me make this crystal clear.
Smiles. I'd prefer if we called ourselves by our first names. Crystal is far more easy to say than Ms. Lagoon.
raises an eyebrow And how do you propose we shorten your name, Ms. Lagoon?
Laughs softly. Call me Crystal. That's what everyone calls me.
leans back in his chair, grinning Alright then, Crystal. So, you're telling me we should fire our email marketing team and start fresh?
No.. we will send out a large email to all our subscribers explaining that the way they contact us needs to change. It can go something like, "Hey there! We've noticed some issues with our current communication system..."
raises an eyebrow, leaning forward And what exactly would we be proposing as a solution, Crystal?
We need everyone to create a free account on our website in order to ensure delivery of our emails to their inbox instead of the spam folder.
nods, considering the proposal Hmm, not a bad idea. It might actually improve engagement. But tell me, Crystal, how do we ensure that our emails won't end up in the spam folder again?
We add a field for them to put in their preferred method of communication. We will then only send out emails through that method.
smirks confidently Alright, Crystal. Let's see if your plan works. We'll implement your suggested changes and track the results.
Okay. Smiles. If there is nothing else, I will leave you to it.
leans back in his chair, smirking Crystal, before you go, let me ask you something. What's in it for you?
raises an eyebrow Bonus? You expect me to believe you'd help us out without expecting something in return?
I already have plenty of money. All I want is that huge bonus the executives get.
Mr. Higgins agrees to CrystalLagoon's proposal, but ulterior motives are at play. As the plan unfolds, it becomes clear that both Mr. Higgins and CrystalLagoon have hidden agendas.
