6: Double-booked

Anna: ‘Look forward to hearing from you soon. Kind regards, Anna.' Denise: (on the phone) ... And Margery said: 'I don't think I've ever seen a vegetable quite that size before...' Paul: Where's that hole-punch?! Narrator: Ah, business as usual in the offices of Tip Top Trading. Tom: Oh for goodness sake! What a disaster! I can't believe it! Narrator: But one member of the team seems bothered. Tom: Arrgh! Narrator: Anna, this is the moment to show you're willing to help. Anna: Yes! Narrator: Use phrases like 'Is there anything I can do?' 'Let me help!' or, to be more informal, you can say, 'Can I give you a hand? ' or 'Give me a shout if you need anything!' Anna: Right. Narrator: Go on! Anna: Are you okay Tom? Tom: (grumpily) No. Anna: Is there anything I can do? Tom: (grumpily) No. Anna: Oh. What's wrong? Tom: Everything. Anna: I see. Can I give you a hand? Tom: My computer has crashed. I've lost my phone. And there's a big, big problem with my timetable. I've got two meetings scheduled at the same time with two extremely important clients. I can't do them both at once! Anna: Let me help. Tom: Thanks Anna, but these are big, big clients. They need someone of experience. Anna: Well, give me a shout if you need anything! Tom: I can handle this, alright? Narrator: 'I can handle this'... ungrateful idiot. But you used all the right phrases Anna, well done. Anyway, I bet he'll change his mind. Denise: Oooh, I know, and the purple ones are so much more powerful... Tom: Anna? Could you help me? Narrator: Ha! I told you so! Tom: They've both arrived at once! Oh god! I'll deal with Mrs Kumquat... Anna: Okay. Tom: You talk to Mr Lime, he's from a company called Citrus Ventures. They own hundreds of juice bars. Denise: Are you sure that's a good idea Tom? Tom: I don't have much choice, do I? Denise: Well I could- Tom: Just keep him occupied Anna, tell him how great he is... no, no, tell him how great I am. Find out what he wants. If it's about the - well, never mind, just be nice. Anna: Understood. Tom: Mr Lime! Are you well? Mr Lime: Yes, but I'm actually rather angry too. Tom: Ah, well let me introduce you to Anna! Anna: Mr Lime, it's a pleasure to meet you! Let me help with your coat. Mr Lime: Oh er... Thank you. Anna: Can I give you a hand with your scarf too, Mr Lime? Mr Lime: Oh... Thanks. Anna: Now, please come this way and you can tell me what's wrong. Narrator: Well done! Anna used some good phrases to step in and help with this mess. Let's hear them again: Is there anything I can do? Let me help. Can I give you a hand? Give me a shout if you need anything. Narrator: But Mr Lime is obviously upset about something. What is it? And how will Anna deal with the problem? Let's hope it doesn't end in disaster!
