Talking Business
I
"I should like to speak to Mr. Grey."
"Have you an appointment?"
"No. But here is my card."
II
"Good morning, Mr. Grey. What can 1 do for you?"
"I've got a proposal to make. I think you know our firm."
"Yes, I do, but I've never had the pleasure of doing any business with you."
"Our firm has a great distributing business with branches in several countries. We
suggest that you should act as our agents and handle our business in this country."
"What about the terms of payment and other conditions?"
"We propose to allow you 2.5% (two and a half per cent) commission on all business
transacted."
"I think it would suit us, but I've got to consult my partners first."
III
"We wish to inform you, Mr. Brown, that we are ready to give you technical
assistance in the construction of the project."
"I am glad to hear it. Let's discuss the terms in detail."
IV
"We've reached agreement on the main points: the cost of equipment, the terms of
payment and the terms of delivery."
"Well, let's consider the matter settled."
V
"We have carefully studied your draft contract and we believe the terms could be
acceptable. Only we'd like to clear up some points."
"What particular points would you like to clear up?"
"The main point is the price of the equipment. It seems too high. Could you make it
lower?"
"My partners and I will look into the matter again and in a couple of days we'll be
ready to resume our discussions."
VI
"You have received our claim, haven't you? You are responsible for the delay in
commissioning the plant."
