Good morning, girls.

Morning.

Morning.

Are you here to serve coffee?

We have secretary swithers.

I'm just trying to be helpful, babe.

You want to be helpful, babe?

Go work in a restaurant.

There's coffee there.

Oh, really?

Ladies, ladies, play nice, OK?

Sorry.

We're all friends here.

I mean, like, let's say one thing.

You can offer a serving of coffee.

We're going to get one of the best

publishing houses in the state.

Trust me, babe.

I offer a lot more than that.

Just freebies.

Hey, if we have less bickering, we could be more productive,

OK, and get more done.

That's true.

I just said--

[PHONE RINGING]

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello?

Yeah, hi.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

OK, I'll ask him.

Yeah.

And that's for tomorrow?

Yeah.

And just your number?

Yep.

Mm-hmm.

OK, I've got you in for tomorrow.

Yeah.

No worries.

OK, bye.

That was Lauren from HR.

She's just making sure you serve your meeting tomorrow.

Got it.

Thank you.

11.

How are we doing for the next quarter?

Are you guys ready with your presentation?

What I'm thinking is, OK, instead of you

submit some boring documents and I have to read through--

Mm-hmm.

Why don't we just do it voice, audio, vocal?

Now we could just stand up and--

It's a brilliant idea.

Yeah?

Yeah.

That's it.

Yeah.

I think we can cover everything that way.

Who would go first?

Yeah, who wants to go first?

I mean, I'm so finalizing mine.

I just want to make sure it's perfect for you.

I will.

I'll go first.

But I need to show you something,

because we need to get this to the editors.

Oh, really?

It will not be clear until the revisions are done.

So--

Has it been approved by the assistants?

Has anyone looked over it at all?

No, and that's the holdup.

So we're not going to get it to publishing anytime soon

if we don't take the necessary steps to get it done.

So that's where we're at.

It's just kind of stalling.

It's just pretty irritating.

What if we outsource it to someone else,

a virtual assistant, someone?

Go over the editing at home.

They could resubmit.

Yeah, that's not a bad idea.

I'll figure it out then.

I can call Steve and we'll come set that up.

Yeah.

If we can get some assistant, even a virtual work from home,

they could go over it.

Someone who could go over it, resubmit it--

Yeah, I mean--

--power me.

That's why you're good at what you do.

Yeah, we've just got to think of an alternative solution.

Yeah, because if we don't, it's just not going to get clear.

It's just going to sit there and stall,

and that's not fair to the writer at all.

But we told them we can get this done and spend some time.

Yeah, we can just outsource it to someone.

How's it looking for this afternoon meetings?

Are we all--

Let me check my calendar.

Hold on.

I know I'm slammed.

OK, so who wants to go first?

I'm still finalizing mine, so--

I'll go first.

You ready?

All right.

OK, so because I'm a genius, I'm thinking

we bring back the classics.

But instead, we razzle dazzle it.

We make the covers flashier.

We rewrite it, essentially, with the same principle

that our generation gets of--

so I think we hire younger editors,

and we write the whole thing.

A lot more-- bring back the classics.

And I don't know, just really tailor it

to our younger audience.

And definitely, we have to promote on social media.

And I just--

I have a really great idea here.

I'm onto something.

I think that will really help us out as a publishing company.

And if we don't adjust and obtain manuscripts

and free agents, we're never going

to beat Pearson, who has a 40% market share.

So I believe we can compete with them.

We just need to start getting the manuscripts

and really throwing it out there.

And we do that by catering to our younger audience,

the next generation.

Then we need flashier covers.

We need more edgier content.

And content is everything.

As you see on my next slide, content is key.

Have we signed any authors to this?

Yes.

I mean, we've signed thousands of authors.

But just bullshit authors, really.

Pearson is just poaching everyone.

And I don't blame them.

Authors want the best.

And honestly, we have a lot of weaknesses in our company

that we need to turn to strengths.

So they're on board with this.

Yes.

You're correct.

But back to what I was saying.

So if we want to raise the CAGR to get that extra 6%

on the market share, we're really

going to have to efficiently move on this.

Get the better manuscripts.

Sell the authors.

They go for the authors.

It's just a no-brainer.

It's like, we could be raising everything.

If you put it in the grand scheme of things--

my next slide--

we publish 1.7 million books a year.

How many books are Pearson publishing?

And what are we doing?

We need that.

How soon could we start this?

Well, we have to get--

there's a lot.

So let me get to my next slide.

We have to get distribution on board.

We have to be more efficient doing that.

And as far as obtaining copyrights,

we need to own the copyrights.

That is how we're going to get--

yes, exactly.

So it's not impossible.

It is totally obtainable, and it's feasible.

It's just we need to start whipping everyone in shape.

I just am sick and tired of--

I'm putting all my effort and strength into this company.

And I've been here for 13 years.

So do you get it, boss?

No one else is seeing the vision of where we

can take this publishing place.

I'm not trying to be second place.

And I want the authors.

We have a lot of new authors coming in that can give us

that razzle dazzle, that sexy edge.

We start reassuring the new books

by getting new writers, new versions of the old school.

Because classics are important.

We ramp up our delivery to the younger audiences,

through social media and our internet searches.

And we can obtain a 45% market share

and put Pearson to the ground.

We can survive this.

So what do you think?

Excellent.

I love it.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for your time.

Holly, you ready?

I think so.

All right, you're up next.

OK.

So what you were saying, it was a little bit confusing to me.

I'm really like based hands on and appearances,

I think, are the most important parts of a book.

What do you do when you go to a library?

You pick the prettiest cover in the lineup.

So my thought process is we make everything

either pink, right?

OK.

Glitter is always a good option.

Glitter.

Glitter.

You didn't think of that one, did you?

OK, I was thinking I prefer like a square book.

So I think we can play around with the shapes.

You know, maybe we could even do like something

that hasn't been done before, perhaps like a triangle book.

Maybe a heart.

Just something that, you know, will get the viewers interested.

You know, catch the interest.

Amazing.

Yeah, if I start trying to get a book on the shelf, I pick it up.

Yeah.

Curious.

Exactly, because it's not old.

You know, it's something new.

So yeah, avoid old.

OK, I was also thinking I love a picture book.

That's what I usually gravitate towards.

So more photos.

So yeah, we could even put like a picture of me in there just

to really catch the interest.

You know, I usually am quite good at that.

Another thing that we could do, I like books

that are already annotated, so I don't really have to read it.

So a quick skim from the publisher or whoever's--

what's-- who writes it?

Oh yeah, the author.

Skim from author.

These are all just little ideas I've had.

OK, and then another thing, I feel

like we just need to make it easy for everyone.

So one thing I really struggle with

is the whole reading part of books.

So my idea was we just remove some of the words.

Like how blind people use Braille, we could use pictures.

You know, it's a bit more easy to understand,

less room for error.

It'll be easier on the authors as well.

And with that, that kind of goes hand in hand

with my idea of coloring.

So if we're doing picture books, right, my idea,

we could have like a little goodie bag.

Who doesn't like a goodie bag?

So I was thinking we could attach things

to color the books in.

We could also add ribbons to the binding of the books.

Just anything that'll make it more aesthetically pleasing,

in my opinion.

So I'm going to write that down so you

don't forget a glitter pen.

Yeah, and then I was trying to think

of other ways that we could appeal to a new audience.

I think it would be helpful if we did something

that everyone could participate in.

So I was thinking audio books.

That way we can cut the paychecks by firing all

of the authors and then just get someone like me to read it.

I think that's much more straightforward.

And I just think that all of these things,

combining the aesthetics with the audio and the pictures,

is really going to help out our future audiences.

Do you agree?

Oh, that sounds like a great plan.

Yeah, I think so.

They're good ideas.

You know, I like what you said about the pictures of the book.

Yeah?

Yeah, we should kind of expand.

No, I thought--

And tune.

Yeah, that would be really helpful, you know?

Just to appeal to all audiences.

Yeah.

I mean, there are a lot of publishers

that have done that way and have been really successful at it.

Yeah.

But you're right.

I mean, we could kind of cater to a different audience,

a younger audience, even younger than what we're

trying to target, you know?

Exactly.

And what did you think of the coloring idea I had?

Well, there's a color book, Tali.

That's true.

Yeah, that's true.

And we haven't really-- I mean, it's not--

But we could combine your idea with mine.

You like the coloring of the classics.

We can do like a young, professional coloring book.

Yeah.

Like, I know you can't read, but there's

other people that do like reading, you know?

That's true.

Yeah.

I guess I think about myself a lot.

It's OK.

So we could appeal to the book readers as well.

You have to think, what is our target audience?

Who are we trying to capture?

I guess as a publishing company, it would be

people that enjoy reading.

Yeah, and what are we trying to do right now?

What was my presentation?

Who are we trying to target?

To be honest, your presentation was extremely confusing for me,

so I'm not 100% sure.

It's young people, huh?

Young people.

Yes.

I don't like that you said, avoid old.

Well, I feel like most people would want to avoid old,

you know?

Like, no.

Yeah, classes are timeless.

Yeah, but I think we should avoid the really old ones

and make like a new classic.

Yeah, that will happen.

That's why I sent my presentation back.

We get new writers to write, you know, new content,

but also rewrite the old.

Right, OK.

I could see how that could work.

So it makes it better.

I like what you said about the audio books,

but that's just not our product.

Yeah, I was just thinking if we're trying to get new ideas,

that's something new that we haven't done before.

Yeah.

So let's touch on the pink.

Yeah.

I don't even know where to start.

You mean like pink colors in the books?

Yeah, the color.

But like not everyone likes pink.

I really like pink.

I think it would sell really well.

Yeah, it's weird to think like we're not just selling to Polly.

We're selling to the entire world.

But I feel like the best audience would be to be selling to people like me,

people that like pink, that like to listen instead of read, you know?

But you have to think, what is the percentage of people that like pink?

Not a lot.

Very few.

That's true. That's very true.

Like, yeah.

I mean, I get it. I like it.

Well, maybe we can mix--

I see where you're going with it.

You are kind of saying what I'm saying.

Flashier covers of a book.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

We could do flashy covers, some pink and some other colors too.

Yeah.

What about pink?

I got the color pink.

Yeah, pink's good, right?

For the girls.

We could have loafers for them.

True, like a baby shower, but for books.

I think it's a little discriminating.

You think so?

Yeah.

Yeah, maybe.

I have some yellow books, just like the Post-it notes.

Yeah, that's true.

That's really smart.

You're so smart.

Well, I did like some of your ideas.

I didn't understand all the percentages.

Yeah.

But I think beating that other company

would be good for everyone.

Yeah.

Ultimately, you're going to work here.

Look, I have been here for 13 years.

I know.

And you've come a long way.

Yeah.

And I'm not stopping until we're beating Pearson.

Agreed.

Yeah.
