БЭП 325 – Развитие бизнеса 1: Нетворкинг с клиентами

Английский для продаж - БЭП 325 Развитие бизнеса 1

Добро пожаловать обратно в Деловой английский Pod для сегодняшнего урока по how to talk with customers in English. Potential customers, то есть.

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. Вместо, you talk about the weather, or sports, or other non-work topics. This is where общение на английском языке 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.

В сегодняшнем диалоге, мы услышим Ника, кто работает в сфере развития бизнеса в кадровой консалтинговой компании. 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.

Вопросы для прослушивания

1. How does Nick introduce his company?
2. What do Nick’s company and Andria’s company have in common?

Деловой английский Pod 298 - English for Sales Lesson 5: Работа с неудачами

Welcome back to Business English Pod for today’s lesson on dealing with setbacks near the end of the sales process.

Working in sales can be really tough. Sometimes you put a lot of hard work into the process but still things don’t work out the way you want. You might understand your customer’s needs and propose a great solution. But still, some customers might not see the value of what you’re offering.
