怎样为外商安排日程

商界人士一般都比较繁忙,因此接待外商时一般都需要安排具体的日程。安排日程要考虑外商的意见和特殊要求,并且要见缝插针地为他们提供观光机会。日程安排要很具体,在时间上要具体到上午、下午还是晚上几点到几点,以便外商能合理安排自己的作息时间。

送别时的用语

买卖结束,外商即将离华返国。此时千万不要以为业务已经结束了,一了百了。其实,最后关头至关重要,因为这是建立长久业务联系的关键所在。因此,买卖结束后依然要一如既往地倾注热情,把外商送到机场,说一声“Have a good trip.Take care.”(一路顺风。保重。)

In some Western countries like Canada,Australia and America,there is a strong work ethic.This has developed through history and religion and is deeply rooted in society.The belief is that by hard work,success can be achieved.This ethic is a very strong motivator for many people,since work itself is seen as something “good”,having value for both the society and the individual.These days it is difficult to say exactly what drives many people to work as hard as they do.Part of the reason may be the work ethic.

在一些西方国家,如加拿大、澳大利亚和美国,有一种很强的工作理念。这种理念有着很强的历史和宗教渊源,深深根植于社会之中。那就是:只要努力工作,就会有所成就。这种理念对于许多人是个很大的推动力,因为他们认为工作是“善”事,对社会和个人都有价值。现在很难说清楚为什么有些人工作起来倾心尽力。部分原因也许就是这种工作理念。
