害怕跟你的国外客户开视频会议?这些技巧和短语可以让参与者更自信更高效

1对1视频会议
1 开始对话
如果是一个轻松的视频会议,你可以说:
Hello
Hi
Hey
如果你和某人进行专业交谈或生意沟通,你要保持更正式。你要先说你好,然后再称呼对方的名字:
Hello, Mr. Smith.
Hello, Mrs. Rodriguez.
Good morning, Mr. Smith.
2 打过招呼后
问候之后,你可能想做一个快速的技术检查,你可以问:
Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
“s the audio working?
Is the video working?
问这些问题以使事情顺利进行。然后你可以继续你的问候,简单聊一聊可以缓和气氛,你可以问:
How are you?
How’s it going?
How is your day so far?
How is work?
How is everything?
你还可以使用一些社交型的small talk,可以参考下面的文章:
3 对问候语的回应
对方也可能问你上面的问题,你对这些问题的回答应该是简短、积极和切中要害的,也许两个字,比如:
Good.
Great.
Everything’s fantastic.
Can’t complain.
Never better.
关于如何像一个英文母语者一样流利自信地回答 “How are you”,可以参考下面的文章:
4 谈论视频会议的目的
一个专业的conference call应该谈及目的或复述议程。你可能在一些回答中使用短语动词,你可以说:
I’d like to talk about X, Y, and Z.
Let’s go over X, Y, and Z.
I’d like to review X, Y, and Z.
I’d like to cover X, Y, and Z in this call.
你可以使用这些短语 “talk with you about”,”go over something “或 “cover something “。
5 总结会议
如果你是在开一个商务会议,你应该总结一下你们刚才谈的内容。例如:
It was great talking with you about X, Y, and Z.
I really enjoyed being able to cover X, Y, and Z with you today.
I appreciate your time going over X, Y, and Z with you.
It’s been a pleasure talking about X, Y, and Z with you.
你可以可以说明接下来的行动步骤,比如:
I’ll follow up with you in a couple of days.
I’ll touch base with you in a couple of days.
I will get back in touch with you soon
6 如何结束通话?
在你的电话结束时,不要只说再见就结束谈话。这是一个大错误,那会让人感觉很突然,很不礼貌。这里有一些短语,你可以用来像英语专家一样结束你的谈话,表达感谢是不会出错的:
Thank you.
Thank you for talking with me today.
Thank you for taking the time to talk with me today.
Thank you for taking the time to chat with me today.
Thank you for making time for meeting with me today.
这些都表达了同样的意思,选择你最喜欢的就可以了。
7 收尾
最后,在你说了谢谢、总结和谈论下一步行动步骤之后,你可以通过简单地说 “Bye “或 “Goodbye”来结束你的电话。如果你的商务电话更随意,你可以说,”See you later “或 “Talk to you soon”。但建议不要说byebye,具体原因请看这个文章:
