BUSINESS SPANISH: How You SURVIVE BUSINESS MEETINGS 🤝📊

¡Hola, amigos! ¿Cómo están? ¡Bienvenidos! Welcome to Spring Spanish! Yo soy María Fernanda, aquí está mi tarjeta de presentación (here is my business card) and I am one of the Spanish teachers here at Spring Spanish.

ÂżTienes un espacio en tu agenda hoy? (Do you have room in your calendar today?) In that case, bienvenidos a esta presentaciĂłn (welcome to this presentation)! Creo que esta vez sĂ­ cerramos el negocio. (I think we will close the deal this time).

Well, mis amigos, this is just a taste of the lesson today, I suggest you read the entire article if you wish to learn more about the essential chunks to do business in Spanish!

Doing business these days

Mis amigos, today, world business can be done anywhere and we can now even close deals from the comfort of our homes. But when it comes to expanding your business or talking to potential customers in other countries, let’s say Mexico, España or Latino América, you can surprise and impress your contact by using some Business Spanish instead of you waiting for them to speak English.

So, ¡vamos a comenzar! (let’s begin!)

I will give you a set of chunks in Spanish that you can use when networking, setting up a meeting, giving a presentation and closing a deal. Pero, si te ayudo con esa venta (but if I help you with that sale), no olvides mi comisión, ¡eh! (don’t forget my commission, huh!)

Next section will be completely in Spanish, so be prepared.

#1 Networking in Spanish

BUSINESSPERSON 1
Buenos días, ¿cómo está?
(Good morning! How are you?)

BUSINESSPERSON 2
Muy bien, ¡gracias! ¿Y usted?
(Very good, thank you! And you?)

#2 Setting up a meeting

ASSISTANT
ÂżBueno?
(Hello?)
[Used only when picking up the phone.]

BUSINESSPERSON
Buenas tardes. Soy MarĂ­a Fernanda; le llamo para concertar una reuniĂłn.

(Good afternoon! I am MarĂ­a Fernanda and I am calling to set up a meeting.)

ASSISTANT
¡Perfecto! Mi jefe puede atenderla la próxima semana. ¿Qué día y hora le viene mejor?
(Perfect! My boss can see you next week. Which day and time suits you better?)

(Maybe Tuesday at 10 am.)

(It’s impossible at 10 am, but I have a space at noon.)

BUSINESSPERSON

(Agreed, sounds good!)

ASSISTANT

(Very good! If you need to cancel, you can call me again to reschedule.)

BUSINESSPERSON

ASSISTANT

CHUNK ALERT!

Mis amigos, a quick break here! Did you notice that I am teaching you with Spanish chunks and not just with word lists? 

Chunks are word combinations that always stay the same, such as “asĂ­ quedamos” (it’s settled). You can find these chunks by listening a lot to actual native speakers in a conversation; that’s also why you know they’re correct: you’ve heard a native speaker use them! 

The good thing about learning chunks is that next time you are in a similar situation, you can use them as well without even having to understand the grammar behind them! After all, you KNOW they are correct! 

So, next time you close a deal in Spanish, you can just say “asĂ­ quedamos”… and this is exactly how we teach Spanish here, at Spring Spanish. If you want to hear more about this chunking method, check out the Spanish chunking training!

✔️ Cheat Sheet with 54 essential Spanish Chunks you’ll hear and use yourself in ANY Spanish conversation (and example sentences). Taken from our YouTube Teacher’s most popular videos!

✔️ 2 Bonus Cheat Sheets with Travel Chunks and Dating/Relationship Chunks

✔️ A Spanish Chunking Tutorial showing you the 1 technique that’ll help you make 100% of the Spanish from our videos roll off the tongue in just 5 minutes a day (you’re probably only using 50% of our lessons’ potential right now…)


Now, sigamos con nuestra clase (let’s move on with our lesson).

#3 Giving a presentation in Business Spanish

MANAGER
Hoy tenemos una presentaciĂłn con la junta directiva.
(Today we have a meeting with the board of directors).

Estaremos definiendo el presupuesto de mercadotecnia para este año.
(We will set this year’s marketing budget). 

TĂş vas a entregar los informes.
(You will deliver the reports).

Tú vas a entregar los resultados del año pasado.
(You will deliver last year’s results.)

¿Y yo? Bueno, alguien tendrá que decirle a los directores que el presupuesto es insuficiente y que necesitamos aumentarlo si quieren ver resultados exitosos.
(And me? Well, someone has to tell the directors that the budget is not enough and that we need to raise it if they want to see successful results.)

Uff! Quite some difficult vocabulary here, right? Did you notice we underlined some useful chunks, though? Feel free to re-read this part and check the chunks again!

#4 Cerrando el negocio (Closing the deal)

(Yes, I am looking at it now).
