My company has had a banner month.
- foot traffic : the number of people who coming to the store/business
Foot traffic is down and business is slow – really slow.
- brisk (a): very fast , a lot of energy / excitement
I thought that Yao's company was doing brisk business.
- to be all the rage : to be very popular
he was selling a line of cell phones that was all the rage,
- to beat down sb's door : to do anything to get the product
customers were beating down his door to get one.
- inventory (n) : thing that a company owns to sell
