How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

The lesson is built around a case study at a landscaping company, where an employee asks his manager for better pay and more seniority. Separate pages cover negotiation vocabulary, the importance of preparation, the steps of the negotiation process and the settlement that closes it. A vocabulary quiz and a final test complete the set.

How to use this resource:

You can read the case study first to see the whole negotiation in context, then work through the vocabulary page to learn the terms the two sides use. The preparation and process pages give you the order in which points are raised and answered, so you can plan your own meeting the same way. The quiz checks the vocabulary, and the final test confirms that you have understood the stages.
