J:      Our principal aims and objectives today at Plasma News is to discuss taking the plunge into a partnership with Deliveries R Us Co.
K:     Thank you. Actually, we’ve been toying with the idea of connecting with a news organisation for awhile. 
J:      We currently need to deliver 1,000 boxes of our product to CBD newsagencies every morning, no later than 5.00am. When can we have this up and running?
K:     We could get that off the ground in about 3 weeks time. We’d hire new staff and update shift times for you. I don’t want to put you off but currently delivery times are 6:00am-1:00am.
J:      Hmm. I suppose there are drawbacks in everything. We had set our sights on a launch date next week but, taking this into account...
K:    We could still go ahead with the deliveries starting next week at 6:00am.
J:      I’ll look into it, but we need to get the Plasma News screens delivered at the same time as the newspapers to be seen as a worthwhile competitor.
K:    I see. The problem on our end is finding delivery people for that time. I could get one delivery person by next week that could do it but he’d only be able to deliver 100 boxes before 5am.
J:      Ok. Let’s go for it. As long as the major newsagencies get it by 5am, word will spread.
K:    Fantastic. I’ll get onto my agents straight away.
