   Karen: The scandal over our new product line really damaged our image, and we need to rebuild consumer trust.


  Brandon: This is going to be an uphill battle. Losing customers is easy. Winning them back will be really hard.
  Karen: I agree, but our stock is taking a beating and we need to do something now.
  Brandon: Part of the problem was that the rumors 1 about the new product heightened expectations and we just fell short of the mark. We need to always remember to under promise and over deliver.
  Karen: Yes, that was a big part of the problem, but we also need to have more transparency. We can’t make major changes without first getting customer input 2 and without notifying them well in advance. Otherwise, our customers feel betrayed.
  Brandon: All right, I think we have a place to begin. Should I call a general meeting to talk specifics?
  Karen: Sure, and while we’re at it, we can work on employee morale 3, too!
