安排约见 Booking Appointments

很多生意都是依靠(rely on)预约后的会面来发展的。通过在线工具预约是很常见的。无论是服务业还是销售业(sales or services),预约都已经成为办公管理的必要组成部分。很多人通过日志(log books)或者日程软件来整理和记录所有的预约信息。

预约会面时间。

☉When will you be available for your next appointment?

您什么时间方便下次会面?

☉How is Wednesday, September 27th at 3:00 pm?

9月27日周三下午3点怎么样?

☉I would like to make an appointment to meet with Mr.Zimmer.

我希望能够和齐默先生见个面。

☉Can I help you schedule an appointment?

我能帮您预约吗?

☉I’d like to set an appointment sometime this week.Tuesday is preferable.

我希望能够安排到本周的某个时间。周二就可以。

☉Do you have anything available for Saturday?

周六您方便吗?

☉I’d rather have an earlier appointment, if possible.

如果可能的话,我希望约得更早一些。

预约客户

检查自己的日程,并找到与客户需求相吻合(suits)的时间。将该客户的名字写在日程表上,并注明要洽谈的内容。

☉Is it possible to get something sooner?

有可能提前些吗?

☉Do you have anything else available in the afternoon?

下午有没有合适的时间啊?

☉Mr.Johnson is available to meet with you this week on Monday afternoon at 2:00 pm or on Thursday morning at 9:00 am. Will either of these times work for you?

约翰逊先生本周在周一下午2点或周四早上9点方便与您会面。您哪个时间合适呢?

☉I’m sorry, it seems this week is booked.

对不起,这个星期已经排满了。

☉This week we have an available opening on Friday morning.Would you prefer 9:00 am or 10:30 am?

这周五有一个比较合适的空闲时间。您愿意约在早上9:00还是10:30?

☉How long do you expect your meeting to last?

您估计您的会面大致多长时间?

确认的形式

通过电子邮件或电话预约,电子邮件上可注明“座位有限,请速回执确认”(RSVP),并指明名额或座位只为其保留到某个时刻。将已经确认的出席者的姓名和联系方式(contact information)登记造册。

☉To guarantee your placement, please respond to this invitation by January 15th .

为了保证您的位置,请在1月15日前回复本邀请函。

☉The meeting will be held on Monday, January 10th , at 2:00 pm.

会议安排在1月10日周一下午2点。

☉As seating is limited, please RSVP by November 20th .

座位紧张,请于11月20日前回复确认。

企业之间的预约

企业之间提供的服务(business-to-business service)通过电话预定。首先要查看公司网址(company websites)或者企业名录(business directories),确认你所感兴趣部门的领导姓名。上班时间(business hours)打电话并且点名要和某人讲话。在推销(sales pitches)服务和咨询的预约过程中,要选择双方都适宜的时间。所有的预约时间都要详细整理并记录。

☉Hello, may I please speak to Ted Johnson?This is Emily Brown calling from Stevens Consulting. I'd like to speak to Mr.Johnson in regards to an upcoming consultation.

您好,我可以和特德·约翰逊先生通话吗?我是史蒂文斯咨询公司的埃米莉·布朗。我想向约翰逊先生了解一些咨询的事情。

☉We’d like to offer you a free consultation next week.

我们很乐意下周为您提供一个免费的咨询。

☉Please let us know when you are available.

请告知我们您什么时间比较方便。

总结

无论是发展潜在客户、列席会议或宴会,还是寻求服务,都应考虑到别人的日程,照顾到自己的时间。一旦确认,就应当登记在案,整理说明。在“时间就是金钱”的现代社会,在有着“一诺千金”文化底蕴的国度里,“爽约”实在是令人不齿的事情。
