A: Right you are. Our after-service team is faster, more qualified and more efficient. 太对了。我们的售后服务队伍发展得更快，更称职，效率也更高。

A: I think our problem is that we have a strong product but we haven't achieved the sort of market penetration we should have. 我认为我们的问题是，我们有好的产品，但这并没有给我们带来我们应有的市场份额。
B: That's because our marketing is not so effective as our competitors'. We've relied too heavily on product quality, not enough on promotion. 那是因为我们的促销手段不如我们的竞争对手。我们过于依赖产品质量，却缺乏促销手段。
A: I agree. So from now on, we have to put considerably more effort into our advertising and direct mail campaigns. 我同意。所以从现在起，我们必须在广告上和邮购直销中下更大功夫。
