线索追踪
M: Here are the leads from last week's exhibit as a trade show. There are about forty or so that are hot. You should contact them immediately,in the next twenty-four hours if you can. The rest are categorized according to potential and interest.You can see we've got our hot stack, our warm stack, our lukewarms, and our cold but not dead stack.
这是从上周的贸易展销会上得到的展品线索.有40个左右的人对我们的产品感兴趣.你应该立即与他们取得联系,尽可能在24小时内完成.其他的按照潜力大小和兴趣进行分类.我要告诉你我们已经把这些人分成了最感兴趣的,比较感兴趣的,有点儿兴趣的和稍微有兴趣的,但没有一点儿兴趣没有的.
F: Haha... please don't tell me you've got a dead stack. I hate making cold calls...
哈哈...请不要告诉我你们有对我们一点儿兴趣都没有的顾客名单.我不喜欢打陌生的推销电话...
M: Don't worry, most of the leads on mildly interested, if not strongly interested. We've just got to make sure the Hot ones are contacted right away. And even the contacts that for what ever reason aren't prepared to make an order now, they might be interested in the future.Please be conscanciouss about getting a hold of everyone of these leads. We've spent a big chunk of marketing budget to find these people.I don't want our investment to go down the drain.
别担心,大部分线索即使没有很大的兴趣也都还是有点儿意思.我们只是一定要确保立即与最感兴趣的顾客取得联系.不管是什么原因,即使那些顾客现在没有准备订购我们的产品,他们将来也可能会感兴趣.请认真抓好每一条线索.我们花了一大笔销售预算才找出这些人.我不想让我们的投资付诸东流.
F: Don't worry, I've gotchya covered.
放心,我一定会帮你忙的.
进出口
A: How long will it take for our order to be delivered?
要过多长时间我们订的货才能送到?
B: Let's see. You are importing fifty containers of textiles from China. They should be able to place your order before the end of next week. It will take 2 days for shipping to the port city of Ningbo. The freight will take 3 weeks on the open ocean and will arrive in Los Angeles approximately a month from today. Domestic shipping will be your responsibility, you can make arrangements with the pier in Los Angeles.
我看一下....你要从中国进口55个集装箱的纺织品.他们应该在下周末之前下订单.运到宁波港需要两天时间.货运在公海上还需要三周时间,到达洛杉矶的时间从今天算起大约在一个月以后.国内运输由你们自己负责,你们可以和洛杉矶码头达成协议.
A: Fine, we will handle domestic shipping,but what about customs? Will we have to pay tariff on our imports? I hope we don't run into any problems with the border control.
很好.我们会处理好国内运输的,可是海关那里怎么办?我们还有交进口税吗?我希望我们在边境检查时不会遇到什么问题.
B: No, the Chinese company has that all worked out. With the paperwork you receive with the shipment,you should be good to go.
不好的,这个问题中国公司都解决了.拿到收到的货运信件,你应该会办得很顺利.
