　　With over 1,000 published newspaper articles, three successful books and his current job as Chairman of his own marketing consultancy; Swan Partners, Richard Swan is well qualified to lecture on marketing. At the industry's recent annual conference, he focused his talk on Customer Relationship Marketing (CRM).

Although it is essential for effective CRM to record customer information on a good computer database, the real skill is in interpreting what your customers tell you and knowing what promises they think you have made.

　　Swan believes that success requires an equal mix of market research, delivering what the customer expects, finding any weak areas in the system and asking customers for their after sales opinions and suggestions. "But" he wants, "approach CRM with care. If you can't measure customer response, then it's better to keep to more traditional marketing methods. "

　　PART FIVE：Questions 23-28

　　58、回答58-63题：

　　No, it isn't the word "enterprise" spelled wrongly. Interprise is an EU agency that encourages cross-border business cooperation. It is like a "dating agency" that tries to match people who are looking for love. Interprise helps business to find partners in other countries to join in trading or distribution arrangements.

　　The agency's task is to set up face-to-face meetings with business counterparts from other countries. This is how it works. The agency gets a request from a company,known as the "host company" (like a person who hosts a party), to help it find overseas companies. The host company creates a theme, that is, to say exactly what it wants. The Agency then helps it to team up with more host companies from at least two other EU regions who are looking for similar partners.

　　The Agency then publicizes the coming event to attract as many "guests" (visitors) as possible, that is, companies who might be interested in partnerships with the host companies. To do this, Interprise produces, an " Interprise Catalogue" in which the host companies describe themselves and say what kind of partner they are looking for, for example, "a partner in Germany to distribute our products". The EU covers part of the running costs of the event, up to 70,000~ Euros. In order to reach as many people as possible, the agency works through local Chambers of

　　Commerce, who in turn publicize the event to their own members. Each member of Commerce is expected to bring at least fifteen companies. A recent Interprise event and over 200 registered visitors.

　　But Interprise is not an easy idea' to "sell". It is not a trade fair in the usual sense. The average trade fair is like window-shopping: firms set out their goods, and visitors look around to see if there's anything they want. With Interprise, everything is carefully arranged in advance.

　　Foreign companies want a full programme of meetings -- and with the right people.

　　It is too early to say if Interprise is a success, but comments from both host companies and visitors have been very positive, "I've a pocketful of business cards and have made several useful contacts.."

　　"Great. We have met some firms that are really interested in becoming distributors. " Of course, they might have made useful contacts at an ordinary trade fair,except that it would have been only by chance.

　　What is Interprise?

　　A.another word for ' enterprise'

　　B.a dating agency

　　C.a way of matching companies

　　59、 The purpose of an Interprise event is to

　　A.buy and sell products.

　　B.meet others with similar interests.

　　C.travel to other countries.

　　60、 Interprise catalogues are distributed

　　A.during an Interprise event.

　　B.after an Interprise event.

　　C.before an Interprise event.

　　61、 The role of Chambers of Commerce is to

　　A.welcome visitors to the event.

　　B.find the host companies.

　　C.organize the Interprise event.

　　62、 An Interprise event is different from a trade fair because

　　A.people meet face to face.

　　B.meetings are planned before the event.

　　C.the EU pays for part of the running costs.

　　63、 Host companies are happy with an Interprise event if they are

　　A.made useful contacts.

　　B.promoted their business.

　　C.distributed their product.
