Jennifer

Christopher, I hate to hover, but could you tell me whether the revised sales forecast will be ready ahead of tomorrow's leadership meeting?

Christopher

Jennifer, it should be, barring surprises. I'm still reconciling the regional figures, but I expect to have a complete draft by six this evening.

Jennifer

That works. I'll be locking down the meeting packet first thing tomorrow, so I need the approved version no later than 9:00 a.m. There's very little give on that.

Christopher

Understood. I'll make sure the approved version reaches you before nine. The regional managers are sending their last updates this afternoon, and I'll go through everything the moment it lands.
