與某人的初識(shí)對(duì)以后彼此關(guān)系的發(fā)展起著決定性的作用。由于這個(gè)原因,相互介紹無(wú)疑就非常重要了。你的所說(shuō)和所做一定要再三斟酌,一舉一動(dòng)(every move you make)都會(huì)給別人留下印象,形成別人對(duì)你的定位,別人會(huì)因此決定是否有必要和你加深接觸。
如果你想結(jié)識(shí)某人,不妨主動(dòng)上前自報(bào)家門(mén),選擇一個(gè)雙方的共同點(diǎn)來(lái)引起對(duì)方注意。

嗨,我是張。在以后的幾天里,我將和您的小組一起共事。
久聞大名
告訴對(duì)方你久聞他的大名,容易讓對(duì)方對(duì)你產(chǎn)生親近感。這個(gè)時(shí)候,自我介紹會(huì)給對(duì)方留下深刻的印象(nice touch)。
☉Mr.Samuels, It’s great to have a chance to finally meet you.I’ve heardso much about you from my coworkers.

設(shè)一個(gè)情節(jié)
共識(shí)(mutual acquaintance)或者相似的背景(background)是開(kāi)啟對(duì)話(huà)的鑰匙。
這樣能夠讓對(duì)方知道你不是無(wú)緣無(wú)故地在浪費(fèi)他的時(shí)間(waste their time)。
☉Mary at Autonamics gave me your name.She said you’re the perfect person to ask about marketing strategies.

提問(wèn)
問(wèn)對(duì)方他們做什么工作,喜歡做什么,以及他們的經(jīng)歷。人們總是喜歡談及自己。所以你要更多地讓對(duì)方說(shuō),但是絕不可以接二連三地問(wèn)(rapid-fire interrogation)。

那您在微爆電腦工作多久了?您一直都在做財(cái)務(wù)方面的工作嗎?

自信傾聽(tīng),積極反應(yīng)
對(duì)方會(huì)通過(guò)你專(zhuān)注的眼神讀到更多的尊重;及時(shí)的反饋會(huì)讓對(duì)方知道你對(duì)他表達(dá)的內(nèi)容理解得很充分,而且感興趣。從對(duì)方的故事中你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)更多的共同之處,從而深入對(duì)話(huà),加深彼此的了解。
A:Our marketing team really came together for this presentation. I am pleased with the way it has turned out.
B:That's great, congratulations. You said Bob was the marketing head, right?Did he come along for the presentation?
A:我們的營(yíng)銷(xiāo)小組通常都是一起來(lái)做展示的,我對(duì)于這種方式的成效很滿(mǎn)意。
B:那太好了,恭喜。您剛才說(shuō)鮑勃是營(yíng)銷(xiāo)主管,對(duì)嗎?他也來(lái)參加講座了嗎?
A:It's been difficult to get used to the California market.
B:That's right, you said you're originally from New York. So tell me, what are the newest trends in the industry on the East Coast?
A:適應(yīng)加利福尼亞的市場(chǎng)很難。
B:是的。您說(shuō)過(guò)您來(lái)自紐約。那跟我說(shuō)說(shuō)東海岸行業(yè)的最新趨向是什么吧?
回答
回答提問(wèn)是介紹自己和公司的好機(jī)會(huì)。可以穿插一些市場(chǎng)信息(marketing message),但介紹不宜過(guò)長(zhǎng),否則就很可能成為獨(dú)角戲了(dominate the conversation)。
A:Which company did you say you're with?
B:I work for Charlon Computers. I am in charge of new product development. We're currently looking to expand our laptop offerings, and we are also investing in the development of AI.
A:您說(shuō)您是來(lái)自什么公司?
B:我效力于沙隆電腦公司。我負(fù)責(zé)新產(chǎn)品的研發(fā)。最近我們正在拓展我們的手提電腦產(chǎn)品,同時(shí)在人工智能方面也有所發(fā)展。
A:So is it your first time visiting China?
B:Yes, it is. I've really enjoyed my stay so far.Our trip this time will focus on developing partnerships for our exportation business. We work mostly with small farm equipment manufacturers.We'd like to move into a new market, we're looking into heavy construction equipment.
A:那么說(shuō)這是您第一次來(lái)中國(guó)?
B:是的。這段時(shí)間我過(guò)得很開(kāi)心。這次的訪(fǎng)問(wèn)主要是為我們的出口生意發(fā)展伙伴關(guān)系。我們主要生產(chǎn)小型農(nóng)機(jī)設(shè)備,有意轉(zhuǎn)向新的市場(chǎng)領(lǐng)域,我們正在了解重型建筑設(shè)備。
總結(jié)勇于結(jié)識(shí)新朋友、建立新的聯(lián)系人,總是比羞答答故步自封的人有更多機(jī)遇。自我介紹是第一步,也是別人將你在腦海中定位的關(guān)鍵,只言片語(yǔ)之間就能反映出你的涵養(yǎng)和信心。交朋友不一定都是為了做生意,但人們都愿意把生意交給熟悉或印象深的朋友。
