?Read the article below about one aspect of selling
?For each question 31—40, write one word in CAPITAL LETTERS on your Answer Sheet.
Selling is the direct confrontation between the company and its customer. Management training and material tend to be devoted TO "closing the sale", "effective presentation skills", "use of visual aids", and so on. The one aspect of selling which is often neglected is "prospecting".
In advance of any direct selling activity or, indeed, any promotion, (31) is important to take time and allocate resources to prospecting for clients. Prospecting identifies buyers and (32) the best use of time available for selling. It is the quality, (33) the quantity, of prospects that matters. Market segmentation will show the market segment most likely to yield buyers, e.g. manufacturing companies with a turnover (34) excess of 5 million within 50 miles of your offices.
Building up a prime prospect file is the most valuable activity a salesperson can do. Once achieved, canvassing is necessary only to "top up" the prospect reservoir when the level drops; (35) is, a prospect is converted (36) a customer, ceases to be a prime prospect and is replaced by another prime prospect. The prospect file will help only (37) it is kept up to date and used systematically. A follow-up or bring-forward system will force you to plan your time effectively.
The selection of prospects can be done at the desk or (38) telephone. It involves a relatively low cost resource, compared with a field salesperson. The use of computers enables companies to develop a database of prospects which can be used interactively, depending (39) sales objectives or changes in strategy. By using a computerized marketing database, you can analyze important factors (40) as source of prospect, date last called, change in staff.

Oil tankers, for instance, have been allowed to get bigger and bigger without sufficient thought being given to emergency braking and maneuvering arrangement. Collisions at Sea continue, but little effect has been made to develop safety devices as effective as those used for aircraft.
Scientists were outspoken in expressing their concern during a recent meeting of the British Association. Unanimous approval was voiced when the leading speaker urged that a permanent national rescue services should be established, equipped for any emergency and ready to move off immediately.
of all the possible disasters mentioned, the one promoting most discussion was a major release of radioactivity from a nuclear power station. one does not need a particularly vivid imagination to visualize the other possibilities discussed. What would be the effect of a jumbo-jet crashing on a large chemical plant handling destroying liquids? Could the tapping of natural gas lead to any form. to collapse? Suppose a lorry full of a highly poisonous chemical crashed unseen into a large reservoir? Dams can burst, abnormal conditions can lead to massive electrical blackouts.
An intensive study of such possibilities could at least reduce the effects of future disasters. For example, it would mean that a number of technical alternatives (such as the choice between detergent or chalk for dispersing oil) could be examined and tested in advance so that specially trained expert would know exactly what action was needed in a given emergency.
The main idea of the second paragraph is that ______
A.safety precautions in aircraft are not as effective as those used on ships
B.modern oil tankers can stop or turn easily in spite of their size
C.there are now fewer collisions at sea because of modem safety devices
D.oil tankers are so big that special devices are needed
A.relocated
B.repeated
