Business Spanish II – Negotiating Posted by on Mar 3, 2009 in Spanish Culture

Again some readers wrote me and asked about business Spanish vocabulary in negotiating. First off, we need to establish a rapport with the clients and try to sound them out to see what they really want, so we can pitch our product correctly. Here are some useful expressions when negotiating:

Bien, en primer lugar … – Well, first of all …
Gracias por haber venido. – Thank you for coming.
Les agradezco que hayan venido a reunirse con nosotros hoy. – I would like to thank you for meeting with us today.
Gracias por venir con poca antelación. – Thank you for coming on such short notice.
Queremos que sepan que nos alegra que… – We want you to know how happy we are that…
Hemos oído muchas cosas buenas sobre su empresa. – We’ve heard so many good things about your organization.
Estamos seguros de que nos espera un futuro brillante. – We’re sure that many good things lie ahead for us in the future.
Creo que tal vez ustedes deberían empezar. – I think perhaps you should go first.
¿Qué están usando ustedes ahora en términos de …? – What are you using now in terms of …?
¿Están satisfechos con su… actual? – How satisfied are you with your current…?
Muy bien, pero no era eso lo que teníamos en mente. – Good, but that’s not exactly what we had in mind.
Mire, para ser honesto nosotros esperábamos un poco más, pero … – Well, to be honest, we were hoping for a little bit more, but …
Me gustaría tener un poco más de tiempo para pensarlo. – I’d like to think about it for a little bit longer.
Hay algunos puntos con los que no estamos totalmente de acuerdo. – There are a few points we don’t feel totally comfortable with.
Aún tenemos algunas dudas sobre … – We still have a few doubts about …

Nos vemos prontito.
