CRM-Marketing in the 21st century
With over 1,000 published newspaper articles, three successful books and his current job as Chairman of his own marketing consultancy, Swan Partners, Richard Swan is well qualified to lecture on marketing. At the industry's recent annual conference, he focused his talk on Customer Relationship Marketing (CRM).
According to Swan, existing customers are between three and eight times more likely to buy than a non-customer with the same profile, so increasing customer loyalty is important: if you record the measurements of someone's jeans, next time you can offer them a pair that fit exactly;
note which hotel guests ask for ice in their drinks and produce it next time they visit. Although it is essential for effective CRM to record customer information on a good computer database, the real skill is in interpreting what your customers tell you and knowing what promises they think you have made.
Swan believes that success requires an equal mix of market research, delivering what the customer expects, finding any weak areas in the system and asking customers for their after- sales opinions and suggestions. 'But,' he warns, 'approach CRM with care. If you can't measure customer response, then it's better to keep to more traditional marketing methods.'

TEST2 PART 1 这篇文章讲的是倾听（listening）的重要性。一个好的管理者必然是一个好的倾听者，所以要讲究倾听的艺术。 第一题，有时坚持进一步的解释是很有必要的。答案是B段的这么一句：It may mean quizzing the speaker for additional information or for clarification - it is always better to ask than to continue regardless and get things wrong它可能意味着为了进一步的信息和说明去询问说话的人——问总比不顾情况的继续并且把事情办错的好。这里的additional information对应于further explanation. 第二题，不能在别人还在说的时候就开始关注自己的回应。答案是C段的第一句：The most common bad habit we have is to start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject long before the other speaker has finished。我们最常见的坏习惯就是在讲话者远还没结束的时候就开始思考我们将对这个话题说些什么。这里的before the other speaker has finished就是others are still speaking，focus on your response 就是start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject。 第三题，人们不愿意承认自己没有听好。答案是A段的第一句：Too often we accuse others of not listening, pretending that we ourselves are faultless, yet in our hearts we know that many of the mistakes we make come about because we haven't listened carefully enough。我们经常指责别人没有好好听，假装我们自己是无可指责的，其实在我们心里知道，很多我们所犯的错误都是由于听的不够仔细。这句的意思就是说我们心里知道什么原因，但是口头上喜欢指责别人。也就是第三题题干说的不愿意承认。 第四题，从说话者的视角去考虑问题是有好处的。答案是D段的这么一句：Equally importantly you should put yourself in the other person's place, both intellectually and emotionally。同样重要的是你必须把自己置于别人的位置上，既是智力上的也是情感上的。这里的put yourself in other person’s plac e就是seeing things from the speaker’s perspective。
剑桥商务英语（BEC）初级考试题型分析 一、阅读 初级阅读材料由句子或短小段落组成，考试题型主要是：搭配题，选择题，填空题;共分7个部分，以下分别讲解。 (一)阅读的第一部分主要测试考生的理解、判断能力。该部分由五个简短的句子构成(有时后设一问题)和三个选项，要求找出与原句含义相同的选项或选出对原句的正确解释及说明。这部分出现的句子一般都是比较常用的商务用语，内容涉及时间、日程安排、商品订单等一些常见的商务情境。因此，考生应记忆并掌握一些相关的词汇及商务用语。答题时，尽可能仔细地阅读这些句子与其三个选项，抓住关键词，做出正确选择，不被似是而非的各种选择项所误导。 (二)这部分配对题由一组词组和五个句子组成。考生须把每个词组和标有A到H的各个句子进行相应的配对。由于只有五个句子，并非每个词组都能得到配对。此项考题的测试重点是考生的词汇量，包括一部分商务词汇。考生应熟悉以列表、内容提要、目录等形式出现的各类阅读材料，例如：姓名、地址或书籍的目录，办公室计划，公司或商店的各个部门，商品目录的各个条目，尤其要注意公司内部结构及工作人员与其工作职责的表达。 (三)该部分一般由八个图表(或者一张图表带有八个不同部分)与五个句子组成。每个句子都是对特定的图表或图表的某一部分的描述。考生需要将问题和标有A到H的图表部分进行相应的配对。这部分考题主要测试考生理解、分析图表的能力。考生应该能够分析图表数据，了解图表之间细微的差别，同时理解各句子的准确含义，尤其是某些描述图表走势的动词短语，例如：“rose steadily”(稳定上升)，“remained stable”(保持稳定)，“decreased slowly”(缓慢减少)，“reached a peak”(达到最高点)等描述图表用语。 (四)此部分的阅读材料是一篇100-150字的短文，主要测试考生对阅读材料细节的理解能力。这部分选择题的三个选项是固定的(A.Right, B.Wrong, C.Doesn’t say)。题目
