1 English for Business Administration ENGLSH TEST 1 Time: 90 minutes I. Reading passage A. Read the passage and answer the questions below based on the text (2 points) Workers come and go as they please. They make vital decisions previously made by the bosses. Secretaries have abolished (and given more awarding jobs). The assembly line has been abandoned, as have economies of scale like buying components in bulk. A quarter of employees fix their own salaries and soon everyone will. The workers decide how much of the profits to share and how much to invest. Many of the rest are encouraged to work from home or set up their own small companies. Employees reorganize their factories and choose new sites for development. Central computers have been consigned to oblivion along with rows of unnecessary filing cabinets. Memos must be confined to one page. There are no controls over expenses or business travel. There is a reception desk, but no receptionist. The boss doesn’t even have his own desk and has to make his own tea.

Reading passage A. Read the passage and answer the questions below based on the text (2 points) Anyone who has contact with customers is salesperson – that includes the telephonist who answers the phone and the service engineer who calls to repair a machine. So that probably includes you! The relationship between a salesperson and a client is important: both parties want to feel satisfied with their deal and neither wants to feel cheated. A friendly, respectful relationship is more effective than an aggressive, competitive one. A salesperson should believe that his or her product has certain advantages over the competition. Customers wants to be sure that they are buying a product that is good value and of high quality. People in business are not going to spend their company’s money on something they don’t really need (unlike customers, who can sometimes be persuaded to buy “useless” products like fur coats and solid gold watches). Some salespeople adopt a direct “hard sell” approach, while others use a more indirect “soft sell” approach. Which approach do you prefer? Whichever approach is used, in the end perhaps a good salesperson is someone who can persuade anyone to buy anything. On the other hand, maybe a good salesperson is someone who knows how to deal with different kinds of people and who can point out how his or her product will benefit each individual customer in special ways. After all a buyer is called a “buyer” because he or she wants to buy. All you need to do is to convince them that your product is the one they want. A successful sales meeting depends on both the salesperson and the customer asking each other the right sort of question. New words: adopt: sử dụng, thực hiện, chấp nhận service engineer: kỹ sư phụ trách bộ phận dịch vụ khách hàng “Hard sell” approach: (tiếp thị) cách bán hàng bằng quảng cáo rầm rộ, liên tục, gây ấn tượng mạnh đối với khách hàng. “Soft sell” approach: cách bán hàng bằng cách dùng lời để thuyết phục.

Reading passage A. Read the article and answer the questions below based on the text (2 points) Late payers can kill a business Managing cash flow in the everyday sense is about making sure you have money coming in to finance the costs of the goods and services you are producing. If you are a small business, the chances are that for every £100 you owe. Others owe you £155. What’s more, you’re probably waiting up to 12 weeks to get paid. It’s not right. Some business people have very definite ideas about what should be done to make thing fairer. Improving credit control can make a world of difference to your business prospects. Profit is good, but it’s cash that pay the wages. So here are ten tips to help you to get what’s due to you. a. Assess the credit risk of every customer and assign a credit limit to them before any goods are supplied. Trade and bank references should always be taken up before accepting a customer on credit terms. b. State the credit terms clearly on each invoice (a pay-by date and details of interest charges). c. Ask for a percentage of the invoice value in advance as protection against bad debt and to help cash flow. d. Try credit insurance if credit checks do not come up to standard. It’s not always available, but it can provide up to 100 per cent cover on approved debts, guaranteeing payment by a specified date. e. Think about using debt collection agencies for smaller debts. Agency fees, usually based on a percentage, are only payable if the debt is successfully recovered. f. Investigate the potential of factoring. Factors purchase a firm’s unpaid invoices, paying up to 70 per cent or more of the face value, but they often only take on the best customers. g. Make sure you know the name and department of the person to whom each invoice is being sent. h. Check how long existing customers take to pay – and negotiate new credit terms if they are not meeting bills on time. i. Offer your customers discounts for paying up promptly when invoiced. j. Follow up with a fax to make sure your invoice isn’t overlooked, disregarded or left at the bottom of the pile. New words: credit terms: những điều khoản tín dụng assign: phân công, chỉ định, chuyển nhượng bad debt: nợ khó đòi cash flow: lưu lượng tiền mặt face value: giá trị danh nghĩa overlook: bỏ qua, không chú ý đến disregard: bỏ qua, không quan tâm pile: đống (hồ sơ) Questions 1.
