BEP 325 – Phát triển kinh doanh 1: Kết nối với khách hàng
Chào đón trở lại Tiếng Anh thương mại cho bài học hôm nay về how to talk with customers in English. Potential customers, đó là.
If you work in sales or business development, a big part of your job is meeting new people in search of new customers. That might include cold-calling, where you phone someone at work or drop by their office. But often this kind of networking takes place at events, like conferences, forums, and pretty much anywhere else you have a lot of people in one place.
At these events, you don’t usually begin a conversation talking about business. Thay thế, you talk about the weather, or sports, or other non-work topics. This is where giao lưu bằng Tiếng Anh and doing business in English are closely connected. You’ve got to break the ice socially before you introduce your company, the work that you do, and other clients. And then you’ve got to lead into talking about the customer’s needs and asking to follow up at a later time. The trick is doing this naturally.
Trong cuộc đối thoại hôm nay, chúng tôi sẽ nghe thấy Nick, người làm việc trong lĩnh vực phát triển kinh doanh cho một công ty tư vấn nhân sự. Nick is at a dinner event during a big HR conference. He is seated at a table with Andria. Nick clearly demonstrates how an English sales conversation works, as he identifies Andria as a potential customer.
