Abstract
A portfolio is described in the Penguin English Dictionary as a ‘large flat case for carrying papers, drawings etc.’ A sales representative may carry a portfolio of product descriptions. Depending upon the needs of a potential client the appropriate product descriptions may be drawn from the portfolio and discussed with the client. The portfolio may contain a large number of product descriptions but, in a given situation, the sales representative may use only four or five.
