Be one's Last Resort

HOW TO USE

Speak as Suzy
Speak as Pete
Suzy: Our new product has been doing terrible. We launched it over three weeks ago, and our sales numbers have been awful so far.

Pete: Are we going to stop production of the product?

Suzy: I think it is a little early for that. Stopping production is our last resort. We will try some other things first before we even think about doing that.

Pete: I see. Why do you think the product hasn't been selling well?

Suzy: I'm not really sure. Some people think it is because we haven't done a good job of marketing the product, but other people think it is because the product is poorly made and it is getting bad reviews.

Pete: I hope it's the former. It would be a lot easier to adjust our marketing strategy than fixing or redesigning the product.

Suzy: I couldn't agree more.
