  11. Tips for Business Negotiation Negotiating is often referred to as an “art ”. While some people may be naturally more skillful as negotiators, everyone can learn to negotiate. As they often say in business, everything is negotiable. However, lack of preparation in a negotiation almost always sets a person up for failure. • First of all, each party must clearly define their own goals and objectives. What can you trade with the other party? Do you have any alternatives that are acceptable to you? • Secondly, each party must anticipate the goals of the opposition. This may require doing some background research.

  12. Effective Meeting Preparation Tips • Thirdly, each party must come up with various alternatives to their main objectives. If you can also work out possible solutions, then it is easier to find an acceptable outcome. • Finally, you should be clear about your “bottom line”, the point at which you can offer no more.

  13. Dialogues & Useful Expressions • Learn Dialogue one and Dialogue two carefully. • Read the dialogues repeatedly and make sure they have no questions in this part. • Go through the part of useful expressions and try to remember them all. www.themegallery.com

  14. Section 1: A Letter of Enquiry Sample Writing • A letter of enquiry may be used to gather information regarding products or services, prices and operation, etc. • This kind of letters should be short and accurate. Avoid the temptation to add excessive detail and try to maintain a professional tone throughout the letter. Your letter can be fairly short, but it should be long enough to adequately explain what it is that you are inquiring about and what you want the reader to do in response to your letter. • Make sure to include contact information so that the person can easily get in touch with you if necessary, such as your cell or home phone number or email address. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5

  15. Section 1: Minutes Sample Writing • 询价函可以用来收集信息,如关于产品或服务,价格和运作等｡ • 这类信函应该要简短和准确｡避免加上过多的细节,而要尽量使整封信保持一种专业的语气｡ • 邀请信可以简短,但一定要有足够的长度来阐述你要咨询的内容,以及你期望对方怎样回应你的信｡ • 必须要写上你的联系方式,这样对方如果有需要,就可以很容易地与你联系｡譬如说留下你的手机号码或家庭电话,或者电子邮箱｡ Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5

  17. Section 2: A Reply Letter to the Enquiry Sample Writing It is very important to make a good impression when responding to enquiries from potential customers. • Express your appreciation for the person’s interest. • The best impression will be made by providing the materials or information that the perspective client has asked for.

  29. Social Etiquette The Etiquette of Giving Compliments in Business Everyone likes to hear nice things about him or herself, regardless of where they are in the world. Giving compliments in business is tricky so it’s important to know how to do it properly. Compliments are easy to give in the work place as long as you don’t comment on someone’s appearance. It’s best to comment on someone’s behaviour, for example, “Great job on that report,” The more specific you can be about a compliment in the workplace, the better. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5

  30. Social Etiquette The Etiquette of Giving Compliments in Business You don’t want to say “Gee, Joe, you look great today in that suit” or even “Mary, you look terrific in that skirt” as those are inappropriate for the workplace. If you are in senior management, and you give someone a compliment, it encourages them because it makes them feel like they’re worthy. If your workmate gets promoted, it is also a very gracious and respectful act to acknowledge his or her success by sending a hand-written note or a card. However, it’s important to remember that being genuinely interested in other people, and expressing sincere compliments is much more effective in developing rapport with people. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5

  31. Social Etiquette Group Disccussion Study the following saying carefully and discuss with your partners. What can you learn from it? Can you give any example for it﹖ What is the good result for a negotiation﹖ How can you reach that? —It is unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you will lose some money. However, when you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the things it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot... —By John Ruskin (1819-1900) Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5
