用简单、清楚、明确的英语
商务谈判大多用英语进行,要避免跨国文化交流产生的歧义,尽量用简单、清楚、明确的英语.
“to tell you the truth”,“i'll be honest with you…”,“i will do my best.”“it's none of my business but…”.
为了避免误会,可用释义法确保沟通顺利进行.
如,“we would accept price if you could modify your specifications.”
我们可以说:“if i understand you correctly,what you are really saying is that you agree to accept our price if we improve our product as you request.”
最后,为确保沟通顺利的另一个方法是在谈判结束前作一个小结,把到现在为止达成的协议重述一遍并要求对方予以认可.
