BEP 140 – Lidar com problemas por telefone

Inglês de negócios, Atendimento ao Cliente, Inglês Intermediário, Telefone Inglês /

Nesta lição sobre inglês para negócios, abordaremos a discussão de problemas por telefone. Para o exemplo hoje, vamos nos concentrar em buscar uma fatura pendente, ou uma fatura que não foi paga no prazo.

Em negócios, não é incomum ter um cliente que está atrasado com um pagamento. Às vezes, uma fatura não foi recebida; outras vezes, o cliente pode não ter recursos para cobrir a conta. Eventualmente, você precisa ligar, discutir o problema, e tente encontrar uma solução.

No podcast de hoje, praticaremos frases para introduzir o problema, declarando claramente os detalhes de maneira educada, mas firme, fazendo uma oferta e propondo uma solução.

A caixa de diálogo apresenta Marcy, quem trabalha na Computer Solutions. A empresa de Marcy forneceu software e treinamento para o departamento de Jack Fountain na ATI Communications. Meses se passaram desde que Marcy enviou sua primeira fatura, mas nenhum pagamento foi feito. Agora ela está ligando para descobrir por que. Primeiro, ela fala com Donna no departamento de Contas a Pagar.

Perguntas de escuta:

1) Onde Jack acha que a fatura de Marcy pode estar?
2) Quais são as condições de pagamento com as quais Jack concordou?
3) Que solução Jack sugere?
