certain place, exchanging business information and developing

friendships. These opportunities are not available on other occasions.

How can you exhibit the products successfully? Here are some

suggestions to exhibitors:

1) Choosing a professional fair is the basic point. Take the reputation,

scale, organization and history of the exhibition into account.

2) Sufficient preparation is needed. Prepare exhibition samples, and

brochures, and invite target clients to visit your booth.

Section III Situational Dialogues

What shall we say on exhibitions?

展会上说什么客套话好呢？ 参加博览会、展览会和其他大型商务会议，是你获得客户资料的好机会。如何招揽顾客？只要有人走近你的展位，都应在第一时间跟他 / 她讲：“ What can I do for

you? / May I help you?” 也可说：“ Can I be of any assistance?”, “Please have a

look.” 如果是熟客，可简单说声：“ Good afternoon, sir. Can I get something for

you?” 同时，向客人介绍产品的最大特色，如：“ These are our latest models.

They are of very good quality.”

不要指望每次参加展会都大有斩获，但不要放过和客户沟通的机会，一定要 留下客人的联络方式。 Give him / her a phone call or send a greeting card to him / her

each year. He / She will come back to you if there is any business opportunity.
