Multiple Choice

Stage Technologies
Stage Technologies is a London-based company that supplies engineering solutions for the entertainment industry. It has helped the boy-band Westlife make a flying entrance onto stage and provided stage-rigging packages for the Princess cruise line. The company was established in 1994 after a couple of production designers decided that the automation of theater productions could be done more safely and more efficiently by using modular production rather than the old "build-as-needed" formula. The company installs wenches, stage lifts, and other equipment commonly used in stage productions. The equipment is designed so it can be operated from a single console without heavy lifting. Both opera companies and theaters see the benefit of such a system, but many are reluctant to buy because of perceived costs.
Joseph Harris is the company's best salesperson. Harris is making a sales call on the manager of a theater that is planning to perform three plays this season that include complicated lifting, flying, and a working trapdoor. The manager is aware of the time, labor, and monetary costs involved in staging these productions and wishes there was an easier way to produce the three plays.
-During the sales presentation,which of the following should most likely be emphasized to the theater manager?

• A) Benefits of the Stage Technologies system
• B) Safety features of the Stage Technologies wench
• C) Stage Technologies' service record
• D) Uses for the Stage Technologies equipment
• E) Leasing arrangements of Stage Technologies
