Who Should I Promote?

(1) District Manager: Listen
Hey, Wesley, thanks for coming.
(2) Store Manager: Listen
No problem. Any time.
(3) District Manager: Listen
You'll be working as a [vocab word=vice-president]vice-president[/vocab] of product [vocab word=development]development[/vocab] in the [vocab word=headquarter]headquarter[/vocab] from next week. So, we need to find your [vocab word=replacement]replacement[/vocab] in your store.

The store manager's new job will be "vice-president of product development". So, he can't be a store manager any more.

(4) Store Manager: Listen
We have to [vocab word=promote]promote[/vocab] a salesperson to a store manager.

A store manager is higher up than a salesperson. To make someone go up in a company is to promote him or her.

(5) District Manager: Listen
Do you have anyone in mind?

= Are you thinking of anyone?

(6) Store Manager: Listen
Ben, Tina, Nancy, and Vincent are my top salespeople.
(7) District Manager: Listen
Who is the most [vocab word=suitable]suitable[/vocab] for the job?

"Most suitable" is the superlative adjective of "suitable".

(8) Store Manager: Listen
Tina had the highest [vocab word=sales number]sales number[/vocab] last month. She also had the highest [vocab word=sales]sales[/vocab] last [vocab word=quarter]quarter[/vocab].

A "quarter" is a 3-month period in business (E.g. January - March).

(9) District Manager: Listen
She [vocab word=seem]seems[/vocab] to be the right person.

"seems to be" means "it looks like" or "I think ..." (but not sure).

(10) Store Manager: Listen
Vincent is a better [vocab word=communicator]communicator[/vocab] than her. He has a stronger [vocab word=leadership]leadership[/vocab] [vocab word=skill]skill[/vocab] than the other three.
(11) District Manager: Listen
How are his sales numbers?

"Sales number" is how much / how many dollars you sold .

(12) Store Manager: Listen
They were good. His sales last quarter was just 5% lower than Tina's sales.
(13) District Manager: Listen
Is he good at [vocab word=train]training[/vocab] other salespeople?
(14) Store Manager: Listen
Nancy is better at training. She is more [vocab word=patient]patient[/vocab] than him.
(15) District Manager: Listen
Is she good at sales?
(16) Store Manager: Listen
Her sales are the lowest of the four [vocab word=candidate]candidates[/vocab], but not much lower.
(17) District Manager: Listen
I see.
(18) Store Manager: Listen
Ben is an [vocab word=all-round]all-round[/vocab] employee. He is good at sales, has good leadership skills, and is good at training.

"All-round" means you are good at many things, but you are not the best in any of them.

(19) District Manager: Listen
Any of them could be a good candidate for the job.
(20) Store Manager: Listen
I agree.
(21) District Manager: Listen
Why don't you think about it and give me your recommendation by tomorrow afternoon?
(22) Store Manager: Listen
Yes, certainly. I'll email you my recommendation along with my [vocab word=reason]reasons[/vocab].
(23) District Manager: Listen
Thanks, Wesley.
