情景對話1

A: Your new task is to reach US $20 billion by the end of 2006. That’s a magnificent task. How can you make sure you will accomplish it?

你們的新目標是到 2006 年底增到 200 億美元，這是宏偉的任務(wù)，你們怎樣完成這個任務(wù)呢？

B: Well, in addition to improving the quality of our products, we need to open more international markets.

除了提高我們的產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量，我們還需要開拓更多的銷售市場。

A: ............................................
據(jù)我所知，你們有很多老客戶。

B: Yes, most trading companies have regular customers. But it is quite another story for those manufacturing enterprises that have just started exporting. They can’t find certain distribution channels.

是的，大多數(shù)貿(mào)易公司都有老客戶，但是對于那些剛剛開始出口的生意的生產(chǎn)企業(yè)來講情況就不同了，他們找不到分銷渠道。

A: Do you have any particular plan to help them to open up new markets?

你們有沒有特別的計劃幫助他們打開新的市場？

B: Yes, we do. In order to help them build up marketing channels, we have decided to strengthen market research and gather more information from various resources, such as national trade statistics, trade journals and directories, international organizations and field investigations.

有。為幫助他們建立銷售渠道，我們決定加強市場調(diào)研，從各種資源，比如國家貿(mào)易統(tǒng)計資料，貿(mào)易雜志和名錄，國際組織和實地調(diào)查搜集更多的信息。

A: I agree that a good marketing channel is important and indispensable to the success of exporting, Besides, as a friend of yours, I would suggest that you should be still more flexible in doing business.

我同意一條好的銷售渠道對順利出口是至關(guān)重要和必不可少的。另外。做為你們的朋友，我建議您做生意更活些。

情景對話2.

A: How is market research carried out?

怎樣進行市場研究？

B: That’s a very wide question. But to put it in a very simple terms, one of the objects of market research is to find out ................................................

這是一個范圍很廣的問題。但簡單地說，市場調(diào)研的目標之一就是找出這種產(chǎn)品是否有市場，在市場上是否能出售這種產(chǎn)品。

A: Who does this kind of job then? 那么誰做這種工作那？

B:: Sometimes we carry out our own research, but for major products where development costs are likely to be high, we employ specialists.

有時候是我們自己搞調(diào)研，但對于那些開發(fā)費用高的主要產(chǎn)品我們請專家調(diào)研。

A: Do you own salesmen take part? 你們自己的銷售人員參加嗎？

B: In the early stages, only the regional managers do. If we decide to have some test marketing, some of the senior salesmen are brought in.

在開始階段，只有地區(qū)經(jīng)理參加，如果我們搞試銷，一些高級銷售元也參加。

A: It seems to me that the salesmen receive some special training.

依我看，銷售員似乎接受了一些特殊的訓(xùn)練。

B: Yes, they all have initial training course when they first join the company, and this includes product training.

是的。他們在進公司時，都進行了培訓(xùn)，其中包括產(chǎn)品知識培訓(xùn)。

作為一名銷售人員，他 / 她必須對公司的產(chǎn)品的用途，設(shè)計，特點，獨特的優(yōu)點等等都要非常了解。

情景對話3

A: I’m thinking of starting a new business 。我在考慮做一門新生意。

B: What sorts of business will it be? 什么樣的生意那？

A: I’ve been thinking about a fast food place. 我一直考慮開一家快餐店。

B: More and more people are eating out and fast food places get a lot from the business.

越來越多的人在外面吃飯，快餐店的生意就會越來越好。

A; From what I’ve read, the trend of eating out instead of at home continues to increase every year. 根據(jù)我得到的消息，不在家吃飯而外出就餐的趨勢每年都在增加。

B: You’re right. That business would probably be a money maker if you’re in the right location. Have you done any research on location or which kind of fast food is more popular?

說得對。如果你選擇到適當?shù)牡攸c，這門生意很可能會賺大錢的。您對地點或者那種快餐最受歡迎做過調(diào)查沒有？

A: I have done some, but I need more information before I make a final decision.

我初步調(diào)查了一下，但是我需要進一步的信息才能做最后決定。

還沒有。我原來打算字先作些基本調(diào)查。

B: Will you go with one of the major fast food franchises?

你打算加入一家最大的快餐專營店嗎？

A: That is probably the most secure way to go. A franchise from one of the major fast food places like McDonald’s is very expensive, however.

那可能是最保險的方法。不過，像麥當勞那樣的大快餐店的特許經(jīng)營權(quán)是非常貴的。

B: If you are thinking of one of the big names in fast food, you might want to survey the local high school students to find out their preference.

如果你想選一家快餐業(yè)的名牌店，您或許應(yīng)該調(diào)查一下本地的中學生，看他們喜歡什么？

A: I did that! 這個我已經(jīng)做了。

A: Yes? 您是？

B: I am from the Roman Company. Here’s my card. I would like to ask you a few questions.

我來自羅曼公司，這是我的名片。我想請問您幾個問題。

我們正在進行一項市場調(diào)查。我們想知道多少人在使用 Roman 洗滌劑。這條信息將用于計劃我們的營銷策略，以便在生產(chǎn)過程中不承擔任何風險，也就是說，我們會根據(jù)需求來生產(chǎn)。

能告訴我您為什么選擇潔凈牌嗎？它的價格可是比其它市場上同類產(chǎn)品要高。

A: Well, let me see. Hmmm… it washes clothes clean. I needn’t soak them for too long, you know. But as I tell my wife, what I really like about the Clean brand is the smell. It is really very nice.

讓我想想。哦 . 用這種洗滌劑能洗的很干凈。您知道，我不用把衣服浸泡很長時間，正像我曾對我旗子說起的，我喜歡潔凈牌的真正原因是它的氣味。氣味真的不錯。

A: Yes, once. It washed quite clean. Nevertheless, I can’t stand the smell. It is really nauseating.

是的。只要你們公司的洗滌劑有那種氣味，我就不會買它。

B: 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.

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的洗滌劑。請試用它吧，這同我們以前的產(chǎn)品的氣味大不一樣。它易溶于水，在最短的時間里就可以將衣服洗得干干凈凈。

A: OK. Thank you. 好的，謝謝。

B: Thank you for your time. Have a nice day. 占用了您的時間，謝謝您。祝您愉快。

就物價來說，有的。但是以長期保證服務(wù)的觀點來看，我就要說不行了。
