A: 很简单。Networking in business is connectingwith other people who might be of help to you orwhom you might be able to help. C:换句话说,就是带有商业目的的社交活动。 A:没错。The point is to go and meet as many people as possible to expand your circle ofbusiness friends and associates. C:我最不擅长跟陌生人打交道了。Amy, 你有什么好的建议吗? A:Sure. The first thing you need to be able to do is to introduce yourself with confidence. C:你能不能说得再具体点儿? A: You look for the approachable people. Those are people who are standing by themselvesor who are in groups of three or more. C: 只能去找那些独自一人,要不就是三五成群的。两个人为什么不行呢? A:You never walk up to two people who are in conversation because you risk interruptinga private conversation. C:有道理。人家两个人在一起聊天儿,很可能是在谈私事,我上去打招呼,一定很不礼貌。 Amy, 自我介绍的时候有什么需要注意的地方吗? A:You start with "Hello" and then you say who you are, using both your first and lastname. C:除了介绍自己的名字,还要说些什么? A:You need to offer a handshake and some information about yourself, such as your jobtitle and organization. C:那我可以说,“你们好,我叫陈豪,我是北京ABC公司的销售部经理。”这样行吗? A:没问题。 CH: Thanks. I’ll see you tomorrow. ****** MC:第二天,陈豪又遇到了Amy。 A:How did it go last night? Did you make lots of new contacts? C:还不错。我至少认识了十几个人,其中一些人对我以后扩展业务很有帮助。不过,我也遇到了一个很尴尬的场面。 A:What happened? C:我刚认识了一位女士。她的一个朋友走了过来。她没给我们做介绍,我不知道该怎么办,就干站在那儿。他也是,感觉特别尴尬。 A:When someone you don’t know approaches you, don’t wait for anyone else to introduceyou. Take the responsibility for introducing yourself immediately. C:有了这次的教训,我下次一定会主动自我介绍。 A:Right. Find the approachable people, start with a greeting, give your name, and saysomething about yourself. Don’t wait for other people to introduce you. C:我记住了。 相关资料 |
