This is the second of a two-part Business English Pod lesson on business networking.

Networking is all about people and connections. You never know when someone you meet at a conference or trade show may be able to help your business in the future. Likewise, you may be able to help someone else out. So building and maintaining a network of business contacts is essential.
But once you meet a prospective1 contact, how do you maintain that connection? This is what we’ll focus on today. We’ll talk about ways to steer2 a conversation toward a lead. We’ll also cover ways to shoot for a meeting and be persistent3. And we’ll look at the other side and discuss ways to politely leave a conversation.

Today’s lesson is mainly about sales, but these functions can be easily applied4 to other situations.

Last time, we met Ian, a sales rep for a pharmaceutical5 company, and Marissa, a pharmacy6 manager at Children’s Hospital. They met at a conference and Marissa mentioned her frustration7 with her current pharmaceutical supplier. Deliveries are often late and are sometimes packaged incorrectly. She’s concerned about getting supplies for her hospital’s vaccine8 clinics. And that’s where the conversation resumes today.

Listening Questions

1. What supplies does Marissa’s pharmacy need?
2. Why does Ian suggest grabbing a cup of coffee?
3. What is Marissa’s schedule like right now?
