Heres the dinner men
30、u”捎待一会，再询问“May I take your order ?”（您要来点什么？）如何引客人入座 可以先询问“How many people, please ?”（请问几位？）以及“Do you have a reservation ?”（您订位了吗？），接下来就应该“Where would you prefer to sit ?”（您喜欢坐哪？）而引客人入座了如何针对多人游说 女性购物常常成群结队，所以您要多角度揣摩消费者喜好。在叽叽喳喳的意见中，找出主要 购买者，对她说“Please insist your taste and need.”（请坚持您的品位和考虑实际需要）如何应付挑剔
31、的顾客 商务英语书信 之 询价和报价 挑剔的顾客主管意识极强，所以要避免正面争论， 实在不行， 记得说句“Im very sorry we couldnt help you, sir.”（很抱歉，我帮不上什么忙）。如何让顾客试穿 展示商品的下一步就是顾客试穿了，可以说“Please try on whichever you like.”（随便试）或“Would you like to try it on?”（要不要试穿一下？）如何说明用途 商品要买得好，推销员对商品必须有足够的了解， 说明使用方法的简易及商品的来用性，往往有利于顾客下决心购买，所以一句“Well, the self-filli
32、ng device is simple.”（这种自动充墨装置十分简单）对您的推销术有举一反三之效的。如何介绍新产品 优秀推销员除了要有说服力、自信心和洞悉顾客心理的能力外，还要能经常介绍公司的最新或最畅销的产品。可以说“This is our newest product.”或“This is our most recently developed product.”（这是我公司最新产 品），甚至还可以强调“They are of the newest patterns that can be obtained in town”(这个款式目前在市面上绝无仅有) 。如何说明产品特色 面对令人眼花
33、缭乱的产品，特色是顾客考虑的要素之一。所以，把 “Its durability will be an agreeable surprise to you.”（它的耐久性将 让您吃惊）常挂嘴 边是必要。如何帮客人搭配 推销致胜的关键是要懂得搭配之道。如今的顾客已不是因为需要，或是因为缺乏而购买衣物，而是 为了搭配原有物品，比如西装配领带，上衣配裤子等等。因此， “The gray one suits you well”（灰色比较适合您）之类的句子，就成了流行的推销用语。商务英语书信 之 询价和报价 如何推荐特卖品 一般而言，每家商号都自己的特色或特制品，这句“Its our specialty”
34、（这是本店的特制品）要用得很娴 熟。 总之，无论是推销的商店，还是推销本身都要风格独具，才能立于不败之地。如何提出保证 保证有很多种，如保证期（warranty）、耐用性（ durability）、新奇度（novelty ）、价格低（reasonable price）等等。可以使用“It has a five-year guarantee against mechanical defects”（机件保用五年）之类的语句。如何附送赠品 附送赠品是经久不衰的推销手法，因此，像“That includes an extra pair of shoelaces and a bottle of poli
35、sh”（附送鞋带一对及鞋油一瓶）这类的说法是能讨顾客欢心的。如何讨论款式 与顾客讨论款式，既能对顾客表示尊重，又能抓住 顾客的实际需求。像 “How do you like this one?”（您觉得这件如何？）或“Will you not try that one?”（试试那件怎么样？）这类话语往往是讨论的前奏，如果能加上“This style is quite elegant, I think youll like it.”这句话，则交易更易成功。如何说明注意事项 买卖的同时，应该将注意事项向顾客交待清楚，免得日后发生纠纷事小，影响商誉事大。因此，像“You can exchange i
36、t provided its clean”（如果还是干净的，可以要求退换）或“Im sorry we wont refund you.”（很抱歉，我们概不退款）一定要表述清楚。如何电话拜访 电话拜访也是必备手段之一，同样也需注意礼节和态度。一般先要询问对方此时听电话是否方便，然后再说明来意“Ill do my best for you”（我会尽最大努力来达成您的心愿）商务英语书信 之 询价和报价 如何说最低消费 尽管菜单都已标明最低消费，除非想被炒鱿鱼，否 则顾客问起来， 还是得毕恭毕敬地回答“Im afraid the minimum charge for any first order i
37、s ￥100” （我们的最低消费是 100 元），而不能说：“菜单上有，您不会自己看呀？！”如何拒绝降价 顾客讨价还价几乎是不可避免的事情，直接说 no 的推销员估计很少，所以你应该充分解释“We make so little on this line！” （这方面的东 西我们没*）如何拒绝小费 如果店铺规定不能收取小费，你可婉拒顾客：“Its so kind of you, sir. But we cant accept your tips”（先生您太好了，不过我们不能收取小费）如何说明高/低价位 一分钱，一分货。如果顾客抱怨价格太高，您可以 说 ：“We have cheaper prod
38、ucts if you want. But value depends on expense”（如果您愿意，我们有更便宜的商品，但是价值完全取决于价格高低）如何谢绝讨价还价 如果没有议价的余地，态度虽然要坚定，但口气仍要十分委婉：“We have but one price, sir.”（我们不二价的）或“Sorry we cant reduce the price, sir.”（很抱歉，我们没办法降低价格）如何说分期付款 如今分期付款很流行，所以要学会说：“You can buy them by installment”如何解释分期付款 商务英语书信 之 询价和报价 还要会解释：“You p
39、ay a down-payment of five hundred dollars, and then, within a year, one hundred for each an every month.”（可以先付订金 500 元，然后在一年内，每月付 100 元）如何收取货款 如果是当场付清货款，就可能用到这个句子：“Could you pay at the Cashiers Desk?”（请到收银台付款）如何找零 下列句子要活学活用：“Thirteen dollars and twenty cents from one hundred dollars leaves eighty si
40、x dollars and eighty cents. You might see if thats all right, sir.”（收您 100 元，减去 13 元 2 角，应找您 86 元 8 角， 请点下数目）如何开立发票、收据 东西卖出后，并非万事大吉，开发票、给收据、找零钱是一贯作业，一句“Heres your receipt”过后，别忘了说声谢谢。找错钱了怎么办 谁都有出错的时候，这时态度一定要诚恳：“Im very sorry for the mistake”，然后再说：“Heres the right change.”（这才是要找您的零钱数）标准买单方式 当顾客问你：“How
41、 much will this be”（多少钱？），你可以说“Just a moment, please. Ill calculate that for you.”（请等一下，我算算看）解释税率及服务费 顾客的疑虑多针对服务费 service charge（在国外还 有税率 tax rate），您的说明一定要明白无误：“A 10% service charge have been added to your bill.”（账单已经加了 10%的服务费）如何议价 商务英语书信 之 询价和报价 如果愿意降价，可以使用 however 来转折语气：“However,., we can give yo
42、u a discount.”（然而，由于，我们可以给您打折）如何优待熟客 对熟客可以说：“Ordinarily we sell them for one hundred and fifteen dollars, but Ill make a concession.”（我们一般要卖 115 元，但您可以优惠）如何给新顾客打折 对新顾客可以说：“I can manage to give you a discount of ten percent, deeming it as a kind of expenditure for advertisement.”（给您 9 折，当作是宣传费吧）如何说明价
43、廉物美 “Its indeed two-pence colored”（真是价廉物美）这句流行用语可是中外皆宜如何解说免税商品 免税商品的标签通常会注明“Its tax-free”，当然，您首先要确认顾客是否属于观光客，可以说：“May I see your passport, please?”如何介绍名贵产品 名贵产品通常价格不菲，所以“A good product will always sell.”（货好销路好）要比一直强调“pretty good”更具说服力如何收取首付款 分期付款与收取其他货款并没有多大不同，后者除手续稍微复杂一点外，前提是“May I have some money
44、as a deposit?”（您可以付部分订 金吗？）支票付款时 商务英语书信 之 询价和报价 当今，顾客逐渐习惯使用支票（check）或信用卡（credit card）付款，面对这种情况，您要会说：“Of course you can pay by check.”如何说明折扣 方式有多种多样，不过千万不要认为“15% discount to you.”是打一五折！(八五折)如何利用大甩卖这可是您大展身手的好机会， “You may not have the same chance again.”（请勿错失良机）是使用频率最高的一句话如何说明免费修改 衣服的改短（shorten ）及改小（ t
45、ake in）多半是免费的，你可以向顾客说清楚“We dont charge for this.”如何廉价倾销 告诉顾客，其购买量的大小决定折扣的高低：“If you buy more than four pounds, we can allow you ten percent discount”（如果您 购买 4 磅以上，可以打 9 折）如何推介品牌 优秀的推销员应该懂得在适当的时机，向顾客推销名牌产品，像“Are you interested in a particular brand?”（您有没有感兴趣的品牌？）之类的介绍性开场白，要很熟悉。至于 PLAYBOY、issey miyake
46、、LACOSTE、Christian Dior 等世界 级名牌，只要知道牌子的名字就行了，甚至根本用不着推销。如何证明质地 有些特定商品，要证明其品质，有其特 别的鉴定法：如果是羊毛(pure wool), 您说：“let me prove it”(让我证明给您看)。接下来要做的是 strike a match and burn a thread of it(划根火柴，烧一条毛线)就明白了。如何附带推销 商务英语书信 之 询价和报价 一个成功的 salesperson 除了要充实自己个方面的知识能力之外，还必须熟悉各种推销手法，附 带推销就是及其关键的一项。完成推销后，可说： “Now, what about something else?”或者“What next?”（还要些别的吗？）常常能收到意想不到的效果。如何找出妨碍销售的主因 “推销是由被拒 绝时开始的 ”，这句话是拉人寿保险业绩居全球之冠的 E.G 雷塔门所说的名言。所以，被拒绝时应如何突破妨碍销售的主因是推销员必须多加训练 的课题。买东西的人常常都喜欢在购物时征询对方意见，因此，您必须点明“Maybe you must r
