谈判中用英语表达自己的意见
谈判中用英语表达自己的意见
在双方谈判的过程中,一定要注意倾听对方的发言,如果对对方的观点表示了解,可以说: I see what you mean.
(我明白您的意思。)
如果表示赞成,可以说:
That's a good idea.
(是个好主意。)
或者说:
I agree with you.
(我赞成。)
如果是有条件地接受,可以用on the condition that这个句型,例如:
We accept your proposal, on the condition that you order 20,000 units.
(如果您订2万台,我们会接受您的建议。)
在与外商,尤其是欧美国家的商人谈判时,如果有不同意见,最好坦白地提出来而不要拐弯抹角,比如,表示无法赞同对方的意见时,可以说:
I don't think that's a good idea.
(我不认为那是个好主意。)
或者
Frankly, we can't agree with your proposal.
(坦白地讲,我无法同意您的提案。)
如果是拒绝,可以说:
We're not prepared to accept your proposal at this time.
(我们这一次不准备接受你们的建议。)
有时,还要讲明拒绝的理由,如
To be quite honest, we don't believe this product will sell very well in China.
(说老实话,我们不相信这种产品在中国会卖得好。)
谈判期间,由於言语沟通问题,出现误解也是在所难免的:可能是对方误解了你,也可能是你误解了对方。在这两种情况出现後,你可以说:
No, I'm afraid you misunderstood me. What I was trying to say was...
(不,恐怕你误解了。我想说的是……)
或者说:
Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Then I go along with you.
(哦,对不起,我误解你了。那样的话,我同意你的观点。)
总之不管你说什么,你最终的目的就是要促成一笔生意。即使不成,也要以善意对待对方,也许你以后还有机会,生意不成人情在,你说对吗?
商业午餐:Business Lunch
商业午餐(business lunch)就是一种流行的商谈与社交合一的一种交际应酬方式。
餐前,邀请人通常要向被邀请人讲清这次商业午餐的目的,比如:
I'd like to introduce you to the new members of the project group.
(我想要给你介绍项目组的新成员。)
如果无法成行,被邀请人应委婉地向对方回绝:
I'm sorry, but I have another appointment.
(对不起,我另有约会。)
如果欣然接受,可以说:
That sounds great.
(那太好了。)
在商量好时间、地点之后,双方都应准时赴约 。一般说来,在吃饭时,大家会谈论一些轻松的与生意无关的话题,当餐具被收起,甜点上桌后,就可以提议:
Can we talk a little bit about the project?
(我们能否谈谈有关的工作计划?)
这样双方就比较自然地转入工作话题了。
午餐结束后,应由邀请方料理付帐的事情:
We'll take care of the bill.
(我们来付帐。)
双方告别时,邀请方要向接受邀请的对方道谢:
We're glad you joined us.
(我们非常高兴您的赏光。)
