• Part 12 - Business socialising

Business socialising: some useful expressions for making business contacts when you're outside the office.

Carmela: Today we’re looking at business socialising. And as usual I’m joined by business English expert, David Evans. David - how would you describe business socialising?

David: Well I suppose business socialising really means any kind of communication between business people which doesn’t relate specifically to the job that they are doing at that time. So it could be some colleagues socialising after work, or it could be people entertaining their customers maybe over a meal or over drinks. It could be the kind of conversation that happens at a conference or at some kind of party or social event at which business people are meeting one another. In fact socialising is often one of the hardest things for business people to do. In a meeting or in a presentation there is a clear purpose to the business communication but when you are socialising there are just no rules.

Carmela: But having said there are no rules there are certain expressions that you’ll often hear and we’ll be looking at those throughout today’s programme. Let’s join our first scenario. We’re going to a breakfast meeting of Business Network International - a group of people from all professions who regularly get together to make business contacts.

Louise: Oh Hello, you must be Darren Johnston.
Darren: Yeah, hi there. Nice to meet you. You are ...?
Louise: I’m Louise Moore. I think we met last time in Birmingham.
Daren: Right. Yes of course. Sorry I forgot all about it. That’s right, that was a couple of years ago wasn’t it.
Louise: Actually Darren, I think there would be somebody that would be really useful
for you to meet. Let me introduce you to Kevin Hann later. He’s a financial advisor.
