在這個商務英語播客節目中, 我們將學習討價還價的技巧和語言. 該播客是正在進行的播客的一部分 談判技巧系列.
Bargaining is the process of swapping or trading concessions – in other words, “You give me something, and I’ll give you something in return.” This is also called making offers and counter-offers. The goal is to reach a compromise – a result in which both sides benefit.
今天的聆聽重點是典型的討價還價情況. 保羅是一家建築公司的採購經理. Tony is a supplier of anchor bolts – large metal screws used in building projects. 他們正在電話交談中協商訂單. 托尼已經開始討論並澄清了保羅的基本需求. 現在他們需要就數量和價格達成一致.
當你聽, 關注他們用來交換讓步並達成協議的語言.
聽力問題:
1. What does Paul mean when he says he’ll be “throwing more business your way?」
2. 東尼提出了一種幫助保羅獲得更高折扣的方法. 它是什麼?
3. 當東尼對保羅說, “You drive a hard bargain!” what does he mean?
