Would you like to add more vocabulary to your English business talk? Do you find yourself not fully understanding your associates during meetings and presentations because you lack knowledge of business idioms? Many Americans especially use business lingo. Some of these phrases are more known than others. However, it is a good idea to examine what you need to expand on. Have you heard of the expression "bring something to the table" or "carve out a niche for a product" or "closing up shop"? If you have not, it is time to take this 50 minute lesson! You probably will not be able to follow a business conversation with an American if you lack the basics of business expressions.
Some of the expressions that we will examine, define, and create own own dialogues with will be useful for many business environments, including marketing, accounting, finance, management, and administration.
