【新唐人2012年11月06日訊】 (美国之音電)
公司主管Andy向銷售部門的Sara和James介紹諮詢顧問Monica. Andy說，
Andy: Both of you are among our company’s top salespeople. But we can always improve, right? I’d like you to meet Vince Wolf…Vince is a business consultant specializing in body language.
Monica: Hello, Sara. Hello, James. It’s great to be here!
Sara: Hello, Vince. You know, I’ve never really considered how body language affects business.
James: I read a book about body language once, but the book mainly discussed how using proper body language can help you get a date.
Monica是商業諮詢師，business consultant, 專長研究body language肢體語言。大家相互認識後，Sara說她從沒覺得肢體語言會對做生意有甚麼影響，James也說，他倒是讀過一本關於肢體語言的書，但那是教讀者如何 get a date 找個約會的對像，date作為名詞，可以指約會，也可以指跟你約會的那個人。Monica聽後說：
Monica: Actually, if you think about it, each time you meet a client you’re asking them to trust you. It’s the same idea when you like someone…you have to make them trust you before they can fall in love with you.
A: You might not think consciously about it, but body language accounts for more than 50% of the message that you’re trying to get across.
Monica: Andy is right. Once you’ve mastered basic body language skills you’ll be surprised at how much more effective you will be. Let’s take the first point: posture. If you walk into a room with your stomach in, your chest out, your shoulders back and your head high, each one of these signals sends a message saying: “I’m in command of this situation. You can trust me."
