B: First of all, I’d like to briefly⁵ touch on the background of the new x420 line; how the whole concept has come about and how the new product fits into our existing brand line.
B: Secondly  I’d like  to  present  data  on  projected sales for the x420. We will then go on to discuss our key rivals in this sector⁶. Then I would like to go  on to outline the campaign concept for the x420.
