This Business English Podcast episode on relationship building is part of an ongoing 1 series on negotiation 2 skills.


In negotiation, establishing a good relationship based on trust makes it possible to jointly 3 search for creative solutions, to overcome blockage 4 and even to turn conflict into a productive force.

Peter is working on a plan to sell his business to a large, European-wide telecom service provider. In an effort to increase his company’s value so that he can get more money for it, Peter wants to roll up or buy other local services like his. In today’s listening, he is having lunch with Maxine to find out whether she might be interested in selling her company. As the dialog starts, they have just ordered their food.


Listening Questions:
