M: Today, our guest is Rachel Reed who works for a small commercial art gallery. Rachel, welcome.

W: Hello.

M: Rachel, tell us about your day.

W: Well, it all starts with the huge pile of post we get. We often get artists sending in photographs of their work to see if we'd be interested in exhibiting them.

M: So you have quite a lot of contact with artists?

W: Yes. I send letters explaining why we can't show their work - I find those calls very hard to deal with. Artists we do exhibit also phone to find out if we've managed to sell anything and, if we have, when the money will be coming through.

M: And are you involved in other aspects of the business?

W: Yes. The company also offers a consultancy service for large companies that want to display works of art in their offices. I phone round companies, explain what we do and, if they're interested, make an appointment for the gallery manager to go and see them.

M: And the best part of the job for you?

W: I really don't know what we're going to have to cope with. I like working with nice people. The really rewarding thing for me is that I have the pleasure of spending my days surrounded by beautiful works of art.

M: Thank you Rachel! You did a good job as a marketing manager.
