在雙方談判的過程中,必須要注意傾聽他們的發言,假如對他們的看法表示知道,可以說:
I see what you mean.

假如表示贊成,可以說:
That''s a good idea.

或者說:
I agree with you.

若是有條件地同意,可以用on the condition that這個句型,比如:
We accept your proposal1, on the condition that you order 20,000 units.

在與外商,特別是歐美國家的商人談判時,假如有不認可見,最好坦白地提出來而不要旁敲側擊,譬如,表示沒辦法同意他們的建議時,可以說:
I don''t think that''s a good idea.

或者
Frankly2, we can''t agree with your proposal.

若是拒絕,可以說:
We''re not prepared to accept your proposal at this time.

有時,還要說明拒絕的原因,如
To be quite honest, we don''t believe this product will sell very well in China.

談判期間,由於言語交流問題,出現誤解也是在所難免的:可能是他們誤解了你,也會是你誤解了他們。在這兩種狀況出現後,你可以說:
No, I''m afraid you misunderstood me. What I was trying to say was.....

或者說:
Oh, I''m sorry, I misunderstood you. Then I go along with you.

總之不管你怎么說,你最后的目的就是要促成一筆業務。即便不成,也要以善意對待他們,或許你將來還有機會,業務不成人情在,你說對嗎?
