BEP 69 – 電話英語: メッセージを残す
This lesson has been updated in anew series: BEP 69A Redux & BEP 69B Redux.
人々は忙しい. When you telephone people, they often aren’t there to take your call, so you need to leave a message. And almost everyone has to answer the telephone and take a message sometimes. Doing so professionally leaves a good impression on your customers, colleagues and boss.
Today we will hear a bad example and a good example of taking and leaving a telephone message.
Justin Thomas is with Trivesco, a major shipyard, or maker of ships. He is calling Sylvie Peterson at Daneline, a shipping company. Sylvie is a sales and purchase (S&P) ブローカ. A broker is a middleman or negotiator. Sylvie specializes in negotiating the purchase of “newbuildings” or newly built ships. Amy, 受付係, answers the phone.
