Sample Answer

ntroduction

As a national clothing chain, we need to be able to make informed decisions about our purchases in order to meet the needs of our customers and remain competitive. To do this, we need to have access to accurate and up-to-date information on our sales and marketing activities by state over the past year.

Unfortunately, our current system of obtaining this information from the sales and marketing departments is inefficient and time-consuming. The buyers have to request reports from each department separately, and the reports are often not well-designed or easy to use.
