Dear Class,

Our one-pointEnglish lesson for last Tuesday was:

Do you have any allergies?
Yes, I'm allergic to Japanese cedar.
I'm allergic to house dust and pollen.
No, I don't have any allergies.

In class we reviewed our homework from a few weeks ago.
We were supposed to take our list and break it up into three categories:

1. Areas that are important to both you and your client

2. Areas that are important to you, but not to your client

3. Areas that are important to your client, but not to you

Here are a few examples we reviewed in class:

Important to only me
Steadily increase the rental fees for office leasing
Create an environment where clients can improve the communication in their organization
Enable clients to help themselves ("Help me, help you"=> Jerry Macguire)

Important only to my clients
Clients want a fixed rental fee
Clients think that it's more important for individuals to change their way of thinking

Important to both
Long term rental agreements

Homework:

Please finish up writing the three categories listed above and...

One-on-One Focus Group #3
*Talk to 2-5 people from your field (colleague, client, boss, superior)
*Talk to them about what you've written about your industry and job
*Is it correct?
*What feedback and additional comments do they have?

Thanks again and see you soon!

Sincerely,

Matthew
