Rodrigue's Proposal at N'SIYO Group

During the weekly meeting, Rodrigue presented a new idea: launching an online store for Librairie N'SIYO. He started confidently: "I strongly believe that an online store would significantly increase our sales. Imagine if customers from Abidjan and Bouaké could order books at any time, day or night."

Fatou raised a concern: "That sounds interesting, but isn't it expensive to build a website?" Rodrigue responded diplomatically: "I understand your concern, but the initial cost is small compared to the long-term benefits. Not only would we reach more customers, but we would also reduce printing and storage costs."

Konan added another objection: "What if customers don't trust online payments?" Rodrigue replied: "That's a valid point. However, we can start with a 'pay on delivery' option to build trust gradually."

After presenting the advantages clearly and answering every objection with confidence, Rodrigue concluded: "For all these reasons, I strongly recommend we launch this project next month. I'm confident it will help N'SIYO Group grow." The team agreed to move forward with the idea.

Script :
"I strongly believe we should start using this new project management tool. The main advantage is that it would allow us to track every task in real time. Not only would it save us time, but it would also reduce mistakes caused by miscommunication. I know some of you are worried about the learning curve, and that's a fair concern. However, the tool is very simple, and I can train the whole team in just one afternoon. Imagine if we never missed a deadline again. For all these reasons, I strongly recommend we adopt this tool starting next week. I'm confident this is the right decision for our team."
