職場心經(jīng)

市場調(diào)研一般是指以調(diào)查問卷或電話訪問等形式向顧客進(jìn)行提問，然后根據(jù)回答，統(tǒng)計出消費者對本公司產(chǎn)品或公司形象的普遍評價、意見和建議，并據(jù)此做出改進(jìn)。

街頭隨機(jī)調(diào)查有利于初步得出市場的需求量、顧客的消費觀等，從而對產(chǎn)品的廣告促銷、外觀設(shè)計有所幫助。電話調(diào)查一般用于對顧客的使用情況進(jìn)行跟蹤，并根據(jù)他們的反饋及時對產(chǎn)品的設(shè)計、生產(chǎn)做出調(diào)整。

市場調(diào)研時一定要面帶微笑、語氣委婉、語速適中，對顧客的回答要做好記錄，并在調(diào)查結(jié)束后送上公司的小禮品，或者禮貌地對對方的合作表示感謝。

steal a march on比……搶先一步；占優(yōu)

March指的是長距離的行軍。通常軍隊是在白天行軍，但是有時為了使軍隊提早趕到戰(zhàn)場做準(zhǔn)備，軍官會命令士兵們夜間繼續(xù)趕路，也就是“偷一段行軍路程”。這么一來，軍隊便可以贏得時間，占據(jù)有利地形。當(dāng)敵人來時，便可殺他個措手不及，使軍隊占上風(fēng)。到后來，便用此成語形容人“占上風(fēng)、有優(yōu)勢”。例如：Edward steals a march on this English oral test because he lived in New York for nearly ten years.（愛德華在這次的英語測驗中占有優(yōu)勢，因為他曾經(jīng)在紐約住了將近十年。）

杰克就本公司產(chǎn)品的情況就行了市場調(diào)查，并從顧客口中了解到了自己公司產(chǎn)品的不足之處。

A：Excuse me. I am from Sunshine Company. Here's my card. I would like to ask you a few questions.

B：What do you mean?

A：We are conducting a market research. We want to know how many people use the Sunshine detergent. This information will be used to plan the marketing policy so that no risks are involved in production. That is to say that our production will then be according to demand.

B：I see.

A：May I have your address?

B：Here it is my card. You can see it on this card.

A：Thank you. What detergent do you use?

B：I like the Cat brand.

A：May I know why you've chosen the Cat? The price is higher than the others on the market.

B：It washes clothes clean. I needn't soak them for too long, you know. But as I tell my husband, what I really like about the Cat brand is the smell. It is really very nice.

A：Have you tried the Sunshine detergent yet?

B：Yes, once. It washes quite clean. Nevertheless, I can't stand the smell.

A：So, the type of smell is important to you.

B：Yes. So long as your company's detergent has that smell, I shouldn't buy it.

A：I see. Here's a sample for you so that you'll be able to try our latest detergent on the market. Please try it. It smells quite different from our previous detergent; it dissolves readily in water and washes clothes very cleanly in the shortest time ever.

B：OK. Thank you.

A：Thank you for your time. Have a nice day.

A：你好，我來自陽光公司，這是我的名片。我想問您幾個問題。

B：什么意思？

B：我知道了。

A：可以知道您的住址嗎？

B：給你名片，在這上面。

A：謝謝，您使用哪種洗滌劑呢？

B：我喜歡貓牌的。

A：能告訴我您為什么選擇貓牌嗎？它的價格可是比市場上的其他同類商品要高。

B：它衣服洗得很干凈。你知道，我不用浸泡衣服很長時間。但正像我曾對我丈夫說起的，我喜歡貓牌的真正原因是它的氣味。氣味真的不錯。

A：您試過陽光牌的嗎？

B：試過一次。它洗得很干凈，但是我忍受不了那種氣味。

A：如此看來洗滌劑的氣味類型對您來說是很重要的。

B：是的。只要你們公司的洗滌劑有那種味道，我就不會買它。

A：我明白了。這是給您的樣品，您可以試用一下我們投放市場的最新洗滌劑。請您試一下，這同我們以前的產(chǎn)品味道大不一樣。它易溶于水，在最短時間里就可以將衣服洗得干干凈凈。

B：好的，謝謝。

A：占用了您的時間，謝謝您。祝您愉快。
