这是Mike外贸说的第 900 篇原创
昨天学员群有位学员问及了这样一个问题 ,“这几天有没有美国客户问你们(中美)会不会打仗?你们是如何回答的?”
Mike 一贯建议“在商言商”,避免深入讨论政治、宗教信仰这些东西,因为无论是民族信仰还是宗教信仰都不一样,有的时候哪怕是浅谈,一样可能激起矛盾、引发冲突。所以,这类话题当避则避,但有的时候即便我们不提及这些,国外买家也会提及,遇到这样的情况避而不谈,又好像说不过去。
如何回复才算得当呢?
01、不卑不亢
02、避其锋芒,向好的方向传输理念,以免激发矛盾
03、Call to Action,主动转移话题(在商言商)这里,Mike外贸说为大家写了一封针对性的英文邮件,请酌情参考使用:
hi, Tracy

Because each nation has its own belief and goals, they are all different.

The most important thing is not the problems themselves, but how we react to it.

Nations should continue to strengthen political mutual trust, consolidate the political foundation of bilateral relations, in particular respect each other's national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and refrain from interfering in each other's internal affairs.
各国应继续加强政治互信,巩固双边关系的政治基础,特别是相互尊重国家主权和领土完整,不干涉对方内政。
