Manager
Can you take the client call at three? I am stuck in another meeting.

Colleague
Yes, I can take the client call at three.

Colleague
What does the client need to know?

Manager
The client needs to know the delivery is on Thursday, and the invoice goes out on Friday.

Colleague
Should I offer a follow-up email?

Manager
Yes, please offer a follow-up email, and copy me so I can see what was promised.

Manager
If they ask for a discount, will you decide alone?

Colleague
No, I will not decide a discount alone. I will take a note and we can answer together later.

Colleague
Should I keep the call slow and accurate?

Manager
Yes, keep it slow and accurate. I would rather be slow and accurate than fast and wrong.
