Exercise 2
Introductions

Introduction 1

Good evening, Mr. Jameson. I have heard so much about you! Let me introduce myself – I am Patrick Clover from "Future Innovation". I manage the Marketing Team, here in Frankfurt. I have also worked for "Healthcare" and "Global Locally" as both an advertisement manager and a public relations specialist.

I believe we have some things in common - we both work in the same field and we are both heads of our respective departments. Here, let me give you my business card. My number is there, please don't hesitate to call if you ever need anything.

Introduction 2

Hi there, I am Patrick. I don't think we've met before. I live in Frankfurt and one of my hobbies is playing golf. I work in marketing. I also have a wife and two kids.

Dari dua introdutions diatas baik pengenalan dengan formal dan informal dapat kita lakukan namun sesuai dengan keadaan dan situasi yang sedang kita alami. Misalnya, pada saat kita dalam keadaan bekerja ada baiknya kita dapat menggunakan bahasa yang formal dan bila kita dalam keadaan bersama teman diluar pekerjaan saat berkumpul bersantai kita dapat menggunkan bahasa yang informal.

How to Make a Business Introduction

Establish a connection with the listeners: 

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen/Hello, Mr. Jameson, I am...” It is always a good idea to mention the name of the person you are introducing yourself to. This will immediately attract their attention.

Key points: You should include several different points in your introduction, such as your experience, your company’s name, your position in the company, etc. The things you say about yourself will vary depending on your audience.

Be confident and friendly: Talk about yourself in a confident manner, but make sure not to come across as arrogant. That's why it's important to be natural and friendly, at the same time.

Be attentive: Pay attention to the verbal and non-verbal cues that your listener gives you and make sure to give them a chance to talk as well and ask questions if they have any. Always give the other person time to introduce himself/herself.

Dalam sebuah bisnis mengenalkan diri kepada orang lain sangatlah penting, terlebih bila kita dapat memperkenalkan diri dan mendapatkankan kesan yang friendly karena pembawaan tutur kata yang menyenangkan. Maka orang tersebut akan tertarik akan diri kita yang hal tersebut sangat baik sebab kita dapat menambah relasi dalam berbisnis dan memperlancar bisnis yang kita jalani.
