What will the speaker talk about first at the meeting? The company’s______this year.

Good morning, everybody. Welcome to our meeting. First of all, I’d like to talk about our sales this year. Please look at the screen. From this chart, you can see our sales this year have been very successful, and we have already achieved all our sales targets for the year. Our sales people have been working very hard and the department has performed very well. When we think back to the problems we had last year, the success is especially pleasing. By that time, sales were down by[19]10% and things did not look good at all. We made some difficult decisions, and some people were[20]not happy with them at first However, since then we’re happy to say that performance has improved.
