ENG315 E-mail Scenarios
Scenario 1
Carlos, a sales manager for a commercial furniture distributor, has received complaints that
Jason, one of the firm’s top-performing sales reps “has it too easy” and “should have to prove
his loyalty by working harder.”
In response to the complaints he received, Carlos sends a few brief texts to Jason, assigning him
to a completely different account.
Jason responds to the messages, requesting a meeting with Carlos to discuss the proposed
change. Carlos responds with another text message that reads “Decision is final. Everyone
needs to get a chance to work with the best accounts, so it is fair. Come by the office and pick
up your new files.”
Moments later, Jason sends a text message to Malik, his regional manager and Carlos’s boss. It
simply reads “We need to talk.”
Think of this situation from the perspective of how Carlos handled the complaints he received
about Jason. Was his decision to pull Jason from the top accounts appropriate? Was Jason’s
text to Malik appropriate? Write your response from either Carlos or Jason’s perspective,
addressing the situation professionally and courteously.
Scenario 2
Shannon, Leon, and Craig work for Rio Valley Homes, Inc., a real estate marketing firm. While
on a conference call with Donegan’s Photography, an established client, the group discusses
potential problems with a recent marketing campaign. Donegan Sands, the lead photographer
and owner of Donegan’s Photography, insists the marketing is working, and changes are not
needed.
Shannon reaches over to put Donegan on mute but inadvertently pushes the wrong button. She
tells Leon and Craig that the marketing campaign is not working and that “Donegan should just
stick to taking pretty pictures.” Donegan calmly clears his throat and responds, “You know I can
hear you, right?”
Think of this situation from Shannon’s perspective. Imagine she is embarrassed by what
happened as Donegan is a well-respected client. How should Shannon respond?
