A:What are our areas for growth？What sectors do you see the most potential in？If we are going to pull our sales numbers up and develop the brand，we got to work across the board.

B:It’s not just spreading out to new markets that we have to address. I think we’d better first pay attention to developing our brand in the markets we already have.We’ve reached the awareness level，but we haven’t established customer loyalty. People know who we are， but they still don’t trust in our brand.

A:I don’t see why we can’t work on opening new markets and developing the markets we’ve already penetrated at the same time.。.. Both aspects of developing our customer base and developing our brand are important.

我們的發展空間是什么？你看我們最有潛力的部分是什么？如果我們要提高銷售額并開發品牌，我們一定要大家一起努力。

這不僅僅是要擴大我們必須要開發的新市場。我認為我們最好首先重視開發我們在市場上已經擁有的品牌。我們已經讓大家知道了我們的品牌，但還沒有建立起顧客的品牌忠實度。人們知道我們是誰，但他們還不信任我們的品牌。

我不明白我們為什么不能同時既開發新市場，又開發我們已經滲透的市場…發展顧客基礎和發展我們的品牌兩方面同樣重要。
