拉近客戶關(guān)系——首次和客戶會(huì)晤 Meeting a Client for the First Time

首次和客戶會(huì)晤　Meeting a Client for the First Time

首次會(huì)晤就要針對(duì)某項(xiàng)目和具體細(xì)節(jié)（nitty gritty）展開討論，這聽上去有些讓人望而卻步（daunting）。如果你感到緊張，不妨看看如下建議，這些內(nèi)容可以幫助你把握一些可預(yù)測的基本狀況（predictable bases）。

首先，一定要牢記客人的基本信息：名字、職位和所在部門等。尤其是在客人以群體形式出現(xiàn)的情況下，千萬不要稱呼錯(cuò)了。見面時(shí)，主人要先做自我介紹以示禮貌，然后客人再做自我介紹。

☉Mr.Jones?Hi！I’m Jiao Qiu.Thanks for taking the time to meet with me today！

是瓊斯先生嗎？您好，我叫邱姣。感謝您今天抽出時(shí)間與我會(huì)面！

☉We’re glad you could make it today, Mrs.Hatch.I’m Thomas Chen.

感謝您今天能來，哈奇女士。我是托馬斯·陳。

☉I’ll be showing you around today.

我今天將帶您在周圍轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)。

☉Please let me know if you have any questions.

如果您有什么問題就請(qǐng)告訴我。

☉Welcome to our office, did you find it okay?

☉I’d like to introduce you to our office manager, Nelvin Guo.

我想介紹您認(rèn)識(shí)我們的辦公室經(jīng)理，奈爾文·郭。

滿懷信心

對(duì)你準(zhǔn)備好的內(nèi)容和要做的事情要滿懷信心（confidence）。掌握話語主動(dòng)權(quán)（get them to the table）。要消除緊張情緒，把所有的疑慮都拋到腦后（back of your mind）。

A：Mr. Jones, welcome to our office.I hope you found your way with no difficulty.

B：Yes, it was easy to find.

A：Shall we start right into our meeting?I am really looking forward to discussing our products with you.

A：瓊斯先生，歡迎您來到我們的辦公室。還好找吧？

B：是的，很容易找到的。

A：我們現(xiàn)在可以開始會(huì)議了嗎？我很期待與您探討我們的產(chǎn)品。

挑選會(huì)晤地點(diǎn)

挑選會(huì)晤地點(diǎn)是不容忽視的細(xì)節(jié)之一。有時(shí)候最好是在公共場所（public place），例如咖啡廳或餐廳。有時(shí)候你可以邀請(qǐng)你的客人去你的辦公室或工作場所（place of work）。場所是否配備網(wǎng)絡(luò)也很重要。當(dāng)然最重要的是你和客戶都感覺自在舒適（at ease）。

☉Shall we meet at Starbucks?

我們是否可以在星巴克咖啡廳碰面？

☉If you’ll follow me, I’ll show you to the conference room.We can hold our meeting in there.

請(qǐng)你跟我來，我?guī)タ匆幌聲?huì)議室。我們可以在那里開會(huì)。

☉The office is a little stuffy.Let’s make our way to the coffee bar across the street. They have wireless Internet, so we can discuss our project there.

辦公室里有點(diǎn)悶，我們一起到街對(duì)面的咖啡廳去吧。他們有無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)，我們可以在那里討論我們的計(jì)劃。

態(tài)度積極

考慮著裝和形象，給客戶一個(gè)好印象（good impression）。穿著要專業(yè)、整潔（well-groomed），并且準(zhǔn)時(shí)到會(huì)，積極傾聽并且適時(shí)發(fā)問。這樣才會(huì)體現(xiàn)出你對(duì)他們講的感興趣。問些有實(shí)際意義的問題（open ended questions）和有承接性的問題（follow-up questions）來保證對(duì)話不冷場。

☉What do you think about……?

對(duì)于……你是怎么想的？

☉Tell me more about……

能否告訴我更多有關(guān)……

☉So you mean that……

☉Would you rather……?

您愿意……嗎？

明確目標(biāo)

對(duì)各自的目的都要有所了解。通過富有成效的溝通（effective communication）來達(dá)到會(huì)晤目的，同時(shí)要和客戶建立良好的關(guān)系（build a relationship）。確認(rèn)你理解了客戶的要求（requirements），以此來保證提供的服務(wù)正是客戶所需的。實(shí)現(xiàn)上述目標(biāo)的最好辦法就是以清單記錄的形式來總結(jié)。

☉So tell me what I can do for you?

請(qǐng)告訴我有什么可以幫您的？

☉What specific products and services are you interested in?

您對(duì)哪些產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)感興趣？

有什么問題我可以為您解答嗎？

☉What we’d like to accomplish today is……

我們希望今天能夠完成……

☉We’re looking to……

我們期待……

☉We hope that by the end of our time together today, we can……

我們希望利用大家在一起的時(shí)間完成……

總結(jié)

擺正自己的位置，弄清我是誰、他是誰，就可以“勝似閑庭信步”；明白我要什么、他要什么，就能舉重若輕、權(quán)責(zé)分明、充分準(zhǔn)備、周到考慮，就能信手拈來，有備無患。即便是第一次與客戶會(huì)晤，也不會(huì)緊張。
