| Mrs Meyer: |
Hello, Harz University. You are speaking to Mrs Meyer. How can I help you? |
| Uwe Schulze: |
Hello, Mrs Meyer. My name is Uwe Schulze from the company IDEAL. We are a Swedish medium-sized specialist store and we sell office furniture. Our main customers are large establishments such as universities. We would like to provide your university with a quotation for office furniture. Would you be able to give me the name of someone who would be responsible for that? |
| Mrs Meyer: |
Yes, of course. I think it is best if I connect you to Mrs Kaufmann from the purchasing department. She will be able to help you. |
| Uwe Schulze: |
Thank you very much. |
| Mrs Kaufmann: |
Harz University, Kaufmann speaking, hello. |
| Uwe Schulze: |
Hello Mrs Kaufmann. My name is Uwe Schulze from the company IDEAL. We are a Swedish medium-sized specialist store and we sell office furniture. Our main customers are large establishments such as universities – including ones in Germany. We would like to provide your university with a quotation for office furniture. |
| Mrs Kaufmann: |
You are welcome to do so. What is so unique about your furniture? |
| Uwe Schulze: |
We value original yet subtle designs for our furniture which save space in comparison to conventional furniture. We can fully, yet comfortably, furnish smaller rooms. |
| Mrs Kaufmann: |
Just like most universities, space is somewhat tight but our funds are also a little tight. Unfortunately we cannot spend any more money for a special design. Our hands are tied. |
| Uwe Schulze: |
I can reassure you. Our furniture is not more expensive than standard furniture and when it comes to safety, it also corresponds to the German ISO norm. |
| Mrs Kaufmann: |
That sounds good. And what about ecological standards? Our university always tries to set a good example. |
| Uwe Schulze: |
All of our furniture is made of real wood or veneer. We only use safe adhesives and varnishes. |
| Mrs Kaufmann: |
Can you provide proof? |
| Uwe Schulze: |
Our „Malmö” furniture collection has just been awarded with the mark „good” in a test by the Ecotest magazine. You will of course find detailed information on the materials used in our catalogues which we will be only too happy to send you. |
| Mrs Kaufmann: |
Oh yes, that would be great. I will take a look at your furniture. In case we are interested, I will get in touch with you and you can make us a fixed offer. At the moment we are planning to issue an order for furniture in autumn. How quickly can you deliver? |
| Uwe Schulze: |
Our delivery times are approximately 6 weeks from receipt of an order. |
| Mrs Kaufmann: |
Good. Thank you very much for the catalogue and we will hear from again you. |
| Uwe Schulze: |
Thank you for your interest, Mrs Kaufmann. If you have any questions in the meantime, you are welcome to contact me. Goodbye. |
