ESSENTIAL JOB VOCABULARY.


Lets begin by answering the question, Where do you work? This seems like a simple question, but there
are many ways to answer it:

I work at

I work in

I work for

I work with
Youre going to learn when to use each preposition.

I WORK AT/FOR (NAME OF COMPANY)


For example, I work at Espresso English or I work for Nike.
You can also use for if you work directly for a famous person: I work for Tom Cruise. Im his public relations
manager.

I WORK IN
I work in (a place):

I work in an office.

I work in a school.

I work in a factory.
I work in (a city/country):

I work in Paris.

I work in France.
I work in (a department):

I work in the marketing department.

I work in human resources.

I work in sales.
I work in (a general area):

I work in finance.

I work in medical research.

I work in consulting.

I WORK WITH (THINGS / PEOPLE THAT ARE THE OBJECTS OF


YOUR DAY-TO-DAY WORK)

I work with computers.

Im a teacher. I work with special-needs children.


If you want to add more details about your work, you can say Im responsible for

Im responsible for updating the company website.

Im responsible for interviewing candidates for jobs.


After Im responsible for use the -ING form of the verb.

LETS REVIEW:

I work at (a company).

I work for (a company / a person)

I work in (a place, city, country, department, or general area)

I work with (people / things)


In conversational English, the question Where do you work? is commonly phrased as What do you do? or
What do you do for a living?
How do you answer this question if you dont have a job?
You can say Im unemployed or, more indirectly, Im between jobs at the moment.
If you work for yourself, you can say Im self-employed. If you have your own company, you can say, I
own a small business, or more specifically, I own a restaurant or I own a graphic design
company.

NOW LETS LEARN SOME ESSENTIAL EMPLOYMENT VOCABULARY.


When you are officially accepted into a new job at a company, you are hired by the company. For example, I
was hired by an insurance company just two weeks after graduating from college. When youre hired, you
become an employee of the company. The company becomes your employer. The other employees in the
company are your colleagues or coworkers. The person above you who is responsible for your work is your
boss or supervisor.
As an employee of the company, you earn a salary money you receive regularly for your work. Dont make
the mistake of saying win a salary or get a salary the correct verb is earn. If youre good at your job,
you might get a pay raise (or a raise) an increase in your salary. You could also get a promotion an
increase in importance and authority. At the end of the year, some companies give their employees a bonus
extra money for work well done.
The opposite of hire is fire when your company forces you to leave your job. For example, Peter
was fired because he never came to work on time. Usually if someone is fired, its because they did something
bad. If an employee loses his or her job because of a neutral reason, like the company reducing its size, then
we say the employee was laid off.For example, Donna was laid off when her company started having financial
problems.
If you decide to leave your job, there are three verbs you can use:

Im going to quit my job.

Im going to leave my job.

Im going to resign.
Quit is informal, resign is formal, and leave can be formal or informal.
When an old person decides to stop working, the verb for this is retire. In most countries, people retire around
age 65.

COLD-CALLING SCRIPT: MAKE A CALL


THAT WORKS
Here's a classic, and classically effective, cold-calling script--along with some essential advice for making it
work.

This script was created by a cost-reduction company for use with C-level executives and can easily be
adapted to virtually any product or service.
By the way, the most important part of this post is the final word of warning--so be sure to read all the way
to the bottom.
Here's the script, with explanations of each element:
Hi, John. Jim here from Acme Cost Control.
Identify yourself immediately, or the contact will hang up on you.
Did I catch you at an OK time?
This question demonstrates respect for the person's time and an understanding that your phone call is not
the only thing on his or her plate for the day. You may feel that asking this question sets you up to hear a
no, but don't worry: Whether someone says yes or no or "No, but go ahead," the next statement makes
the response entirely moot.
John, I'm sure you're busy and I want to respect your time, so I'll be brief.
This statement still allows you to continue regardless of how the person initially responded to you, rather
than scheduling another time to call. This is a good thing, because you've finally got a prospect on the
phone, so the last thing you want to do is hang up and attempt to catch him or her again.
The reason for my call is this. We just saved Universal Transport an additional $12 million in shipping costs, so I
thought it was important enough to let you know, since every company has an obligation to their customers and
shareholders to reduce expenses.
The purpose of these sentences is to create a compelling reason for the person on the other end to
continue the conversation. Note that you've said nothing abouthow the benefit was achieved. At this point,

the customer doesn't care about your specific product; the customer only wants to know what to expect if
the conversation continues.
Now, you may be wondering if we can do this for you, too. Well, depending on what you're currently doing, I don't
know if you have a need for our services.
This eliminates a potentially adversarial posture, lowers the person's resistance, and brings down his or
her guard. It lets customers know you're not trying to force down their throat something they may not need
or may not be ready for.
But with your permission, let's talk for a few minutes to determine if there is anything we're doing that you could
benefit from.
This statement opens up a dialogue so you can get permission from the prospect to have a preliminary
conversation.
Would you be comfortable spending just a few minutes with me on the phone now, if I stick to this timetable?
This establishes a timeline, letting the prospect know that you're taking accountability for the length of the
call, that you respect the person's time and won't keep him or her on the phone.
Once you have gotten permission to continue, you now have a prospective customer engaged in a
conversation with you--and you can then determine whether there's a good fit.
Remember: Have a Conversation
One final, important note: Do not read the script, under any circumstances. Instead, practice the script as
written, and then practice it from memory--so that the words emerge naturally, as if you just thought of
them, the moment you began speaking.
This is what great stage actors do. They rehearse until the words are "part of them"--then, when they
speak lines they've spoken on stage 100 or even 1,000 times before, each performance seems fresh and
exciting.
Also, when you ask a question as part of the conversation, stop and actually listen to the customer. Don't
plow through like a carnival pitchman. This is about having a conversation, not about getting the words out
of your mouth.

SAMPLE COLD CALL SCRIPT FOR B2B CALLS


This sample script was created by SVC and is intended to assist companies in the preparation of an effective telemarketing
script for cold calls where the name of the prospect is known. Of course there are many instances where the name of the
prospect will not be known and in such cases we use various techniques to find the decision maker. Each company will
have to customize the script to address its particular circumstances and goals, but the overall format of this script has been
proven to be an effective approach in making sales appointments. Entire books have been written on this topic and the
intent here is to provide a good example of one approach and the reasoning behind that approach. SVCs services include
a complete review and analysis of our clients telemarketing efforts and we work with each company to find the approach
that works best for them.
