In the concluding episode of our Business English Podcast series on negotiating in English, chúng tôi sẽ xem xét kết thúc hợp đồng.
Success! The hard work of negotiation has paid off. You’ve reached agreement. Now it’s time to close the deal. Trong tập này, we’ll study skills and language for the final stage of the discussion. Đặc biệt, we’ll focus on summarizing details, tying up loose ends, reinforcing the relationship and adopting a positive style. We’ll see that the end of talks presents a great opportunity to build stronger partnerships.

Trước hết, a construction materials supplier, Tony, calls his customer, Paul, to agree to the terms of a deal. Trong giây, a general manager, Maxine, calls the owner of another company, Peter, to tell him that her board of directors has agreed to buy his company.
