Look every angle of sources such as buletin or newsletter in the company. Seek permission for recording but better take a note first then give reason that u cannot cope to write n hear at the same time. List what to be done. letter of consent. MAKE SURE DONT ACT LIKE AN EXPERT..u go there as a learner n be prepare to change an immediate research plan if things suddenly change..Be professional stranger
