陳豪在北京的ABC美國公司工作,他來到美國同事Amy的辦公室。 (Office ambience) C:Hi Amy. A:Hey, Chen Hao, what's up? C:我晚上下班有活動,我去多認(rèn)識一些生意上的人。 A:That's called a networking event. C: Networking是什么意思??? A: 很簡單。Networking in business is connecting with other people who might be of help to you or whom you might be able to help. C:換句話說,就是帶有商業(yè)目的的社交活動。 A:沒錯。The point is to go and meet as many people as possible to expand your circle of business friends and associates. C:我最不擅長跟陌生人打交道了。Amy, 你有什么好的建議嗎? A:Sure. The first thing you need to be able to do is to introduce yourself with confidence. C:你能不能說得再具體點(diǎn)兒? A: You look for the approachable people. Those are people who are standing by themselves or who are in groups of three or more. C: 只能去找那些獨(dú)自一人,要不就是三五成群的。兩個人為什么不行呢? A:You never walk up to two people who are in conversation because you risk interrupting a private conversation. C:有道理。人家兩個人在一起聊天兒,很可能是在談私事,我上去打招呼,一定很不禮貌。 Amy, 自我介紹的時候有什么需要注意的地方嗎? A:You start with "Hello" and then you say who you are, using both your first and last name. C:除了介紹自己的名字,還要說些什么? A:You need to offer a handshake and some information about yourself, such as your job title and organization. C:那我可以說,“你們好,我叫陳豪,我是北京ABC公司的銷售部經(jīng)理。”這樣行嗎? A:沒問題。 CH: Thanks. I'll see you tomorrow. ****** MC:第二天,陳豪又遇到了Amy。 A:How did it go last night? Did you make lots of new contacts? C:還不錯。我至少認(rèn)識了十幾個人,其中一些人對我以后擴(kuò)展業(yè)務(wù)很有幫助。不過,我也遇到了一個很尷尬的場面。 A:What happened? C:我剛認(rèn)識了一位女士。她的一個朋友走了過來。她沒給我們做介紹,我不知道該怎么辦,就干站在那兒。他也是,感覺特別尷尬。 A:When someone you don't know approaches you, don't wait for anyone else to introduce you. Take the responsibility for introducing yourself immediately. C:有了這次的教訓(xùn),我下次一定會主動自我介紹。 A:Right. Find the approachable people, start with a greeting, give your name, and say something about yourself. Don't wait for other people to introduce you. C:我記住了。
