Episode 18 仕事の優先順位

Introduction:
Hello everyone and welcome to my English learning podcast. Today, we'll be discussing the topic of "Work Prioritization" and how different professionals prioritise their tasks. So, let's look into small discussions!
 
Small Discussion Question 1:
What do you think of how salespeople prioritise their tasks?
 
Sample Answer 1:
Well, when it comes to salespeople, prioritization is crucial. They often have numerous clients, deadlines, and targets to meet. Salespeople typically prioritize their tasks based on the potential revenue they can generate or the urgency of the client's needs. They focus on closing deals and maintaining strong customer relationships, as these directly impact their success in meeting sales targets.
 
Small Discussion Question 2:
What do you think of how company accountants prioritize their tasks?
 
Sample Answer 2:
In the world of company accountants, prioritization revolves around financial accuracy and compliance. They often deal with a wide range of financial tasks, such as bookkeeping, budgeting, and financial reporting. Accountants prioritize tasks based on deadlines, regulatory requirements, and the impact on the company's financial health. They ensure that essential financial activities, such as tax filings and financial audits, receive top priority.
 
Let’s see today’s vocabulary.
 
First, we have "revenue（収益）." Revenue refers to the income or money earned by a company or organization through its business activities. For example, "The company experienced a significant increase in revenue after launching a new product."
 
Next, we have the phrase "close deals（契約などの合意に達する）." To close deals means to successfully finalize business agreements or transactions. It is the process of reaching a mutually beneficial agreement with a client or customer. For example, "The sales team worked hard to close deals with potential clients at the trade show."
 
Moving on, we have "bookkeeping（簿記）." Bookkeeping refers to the process of recording, organizing, and maintaining financial transactions and records of a business. For example, "The manager hired a part-time employee to facilitate the task of bookkeeping."
 
Another term is "revolve around（～を中心に廻る）." To revolve around means to be centered or focused on a particular thing or concept. It suggests that something is the central or most important aspect. For example, "The company's marketing strategy revolves around customer satisfaction."
 
Lastly, we have "financial audit（会計監査）." A financial audit is an examination or review of a company's financial records and statements to ensure accuracy, transparency, and compliance with accounting standards. For example, "The company underwent a thorough financial audit conducted by an external auditing firm."
 
Conclusion:
In today's episode, we explored the topic of work prioritization.
