如何向客户介绍自己的公司
Jenn
ifer
在与
Standard
家用电
器的会谈中,
因对方想进一步了解
Action
电器的营运状况。
身为公司代言人的
Jennifer
就必须向他们说明公司经营的历史、主要产品与营业项目等。
In answer to
your questions,
Action Appliances
has been
manufacturing top quality
appliances
for 15 years now. We began selling rice cookers
from one small shop in
Taipei. At that
time, we were strictly a mom-and-pop
operation.
To keep up with
overwhelming customer response, the company
expanded rapidly. We
improved our R&D
department and enlarged our product lines to
include washers and
dryers,
refrigerators,
and
microwave
ovens.
Our
appliances
are
geared
toward
households with high needs but minimal
space.
Taiwan
is
still
our
main
market.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
you'll
find
at
least
one
Action
appliance in one out of three
households in Taipei alone.
With a strong home base, we feel we're
ready to move overseas. Recent consumer
research
efforts
prove
that
over
40%
of
the
appliance
market
in
Canada
and
the
United
States
consists
of
highly
efficient,
compact
products.
You'll
find
that
our
appliances meet these
needs.
让我回答您的问题:
A
ction
电器生产一流的家电产品已有十五年的历史了。公司最早在台
北以贩卖电饭锅起家,我们当时只是小成本的家庭电器行。
< br>由于客户反应热烈,
公司即很快地扩展。
我们加强研发部
门,
扩大生产线,
增加产品项目,
像洗
衣机及烘干机、电冰箱、微波炉等产品。我们的电器是专门针对要求高效率,但空间
有限
的家庭用户设计的。
台湾仍是我们的主要市场。而事实上,你
会发现台北地区至少每三户人家中就有一户用
Action
的产
品。
由于在国内的基础稳固,我们觉得向海外市场扩展的时机
成熟了。最近的消费研究报导指
出,美加地区的电器市场中有百分之四十以上是高效率的
组合型商品。所以,您会发现我
们的商品完全迎合这些需求。
