THEME THURSDAY: SAYING GOOD-BYE AFTER BUSINESS MEETINGS: meaning and examples
Good morning again.
For October's Theme Thursday we have looked at casual and formal business language with writing and speaking. Today we are looking at some ways to say goodbye after a business meeting.
We often begin a goodbye with future plans for business.
Example 1: I will follow up your proposal next week.
Example 2: I will send you an email shortly.
Example 3: My assistant will call you to schedule another meeting.
Then, we thank the person for their time.
Example 4: Thank you again for coming.
Example 5: I appreciate you meeting with me.
Example 6: I appreciate your time.
Finally, we say goodbye (usually with a handshake as well).
Example 7: Take care.
Example 8: Have a great day / week / weekend.
Example 9: It was great to see you again.
Example 10: I look forward to seeing you again soon.
So if we put this all together, it might sound like this: I will follow up your proposal next week. Thank you again for coming. Take care.
Of course, these are just some of the many ways we can end a business meeting. I hope that this month's Theme Thursday lessons have given you some new ways to communicate in business situations.
Until tomorrow, have a great day!
