Larry: Gary’s Tips UPBEAT MUSIC
Eliz: Now it’s time for Gary’s Tips with Gary Engleton! Gary: Hello, Elizabeth!
Today I’ll be talking about how to summarize your position at the end of a meeting In today’s Business Dialog, Mr Davis summarizes his understanding
He uses the expression, “To summarize.”
Davis: To summarize, there are still problems with the delivery date and the size of the discount, but everything else is okay
Is that right?
Jones: Yes That’s right
Gary: He confirms his understanding by asking Mr Jones “Is that right?” Mr Jones confirms, “Yes, that’s right.”
Then Mr Jones summarizes his position in more detail
Jones: The price is higher than we expected, and we need delivery within six months at the latest Davis: I see
(4)He offers to his best
Davis: Well, I’ll see what I can
The delivery date is going to be a problem, but I’ll check and see if it’s possible
Gary: He qualifies his answer, because he isn’t sure if he can deliver the products on time They agree to meet again to try to solve these problems
(pause)
Gary: In a similar way, Ms Graham qualifies her response to Mr Blake She cannot promise that they will be able to come to an agreement Graham: Even then, Mr Blake, I can’t make any guarantees
You know, we’ve never done business with a Chinese company before, so it’s quite an undertaking Gary: In summarizing your position in a business discussion, it is best to be honest about any problems
Most importantly, you shouldn’t make promises that you can’t keep Thanks for joining us today for Gary’s Tips
