1. 掌握一定的商務英語詞彙、片語和句型。
(1)詞彙方面
如commercials指廣播、電視或電影院中播放的廣告，還可指商業公司的股票。例如：
The TV show was interrupted by too many commercials.
電視節日被太多的廣告給打斷。
(2)片語方面
如soft selling軟推銷，指一種使用靜悄悄的，不引人注意的誘導手段推銷商品的方法，是一種“間接的”銷售方法。與hard selling相對。hard selling是“商接的”銷售方法，通過不斷重複產品的名稱及其優秀的品質，使用一些有力的，但不一定受歡迎的手段去推銷產品。例如：
Some salespeople adopt a direct’ hard sell’ approach, while others use a more indirect’ soft sell’ approach.
有些商人採用直接的“硬銷售法”，而有的商人使用更間接的“軟銷售法”。
(3) 句型方面
有必要掌握一些國際商務英語中常用的句型，例如：
▽ We are writing in connection with„
今來函關於...
▽ I noted with interest your advertisement for...
我饒有興致地讀到貴公司...的廣告。
▽ Yes, that's true，but on the other hand，
„沒錯，但另一方面...
▽ That's exactly what I think.
這和我不謀而合。
▽ Maybe. but don't you think„?
也許吧，但是你認為...如何?
這些句型看似簡單，但要做到在從事國際商務活動中對這些常用句型信於拈米也非易事。平時要多積累這樣一些非常實用的句型和片語。又例如：
▽ You are wanted on the phone.
有你的電話。
▽ As requested. we enclose„for your attention.
應貴方要求，今隨函寄上...請查收。
(4) 舊詞“新義”
有些單字，可能學生早已學過，但在商務環境下，意思有所不同。那麼，對他們來說便是新單字，必須同樣牢記。例如：
▽ protest 拒付(票據等)
The cheques he issued were a all protested.他開出的支票均遭拒付。
▽ honour 承兌
All credit cards honoured here. 各種信用卡這裡均通用
▽ protect 備款以支付...
We hope you will duly protect our draft on presentation.望貴方在匯票提示時及時予以兌付。
▽ factor 獨立代理商。
在英國，factor是一種特殊代理人，受他人委託進行貿易活動，收取傭金，傭金的多少取決於其業績。
The factor is active in financing product imports to the US.
該代理商為產品輸入美國積極籌資。
▽ royalty 專利/版權等的使用費;提成費;特權。
Besides copyright，the writer got a 10-percent royalty on sales.
除擁有版權外，作者得到百分之十的版稅。
(5) 同義詞、近義詞、相似詞的辨析
國際商務英語學習者往往對一些商務英語中的同義詞、近義詞、相似詞分辨不清，特別是在工作中由於選詞不當，造成誤解。
例如，credit card(信用卡)與letter of credit(信用證)之間其實毫無關係，但有的學生不知其問的差別。
又如，quotation和offer都有“報價”的意思，有什麼區別呢?再如，表示公司的英語單字有不少，如：firm，company，corporation，branch，incorporation subsidiary，affiliated company等，它們之間意思有何不同?
又如，B/L和B/E有什麼差別呢?對這樣一些詞之間的差別，商務英語學生應該明白。
舉個例子：
▽ Chairman，President，CEO，Managing Director，General Manager
▲ Chairman的意思是“董事長”，他是股份公司董事會的最高負責人，是常設的業務執行及代表人，是負責主持公司董事會會議的人。當董事會成員對某項決策意見不統一時，董事長擁有決策權。許多公司董事長兼作公司的執行總裁。
▲ President在美國英語中相當於英國英語的Chairman(of the Board)。
▲ CEO是Chief Executive Officer的首字母縮寫，其意思是“首席執行官”，也可以將其翻譯為“總裁”。“總裁”是公司的最高行政主管。
在美國英語中，“President”也指“總裁”。有的公司的董事長和總裁由兩人擔任。總裁的位置僅次於董事長(chairman)，高於副董事長(Vice-Chairman)。 Managing Director與General Manager都可翻譯為“總經理”，但是，兩者有所不同。
對一個普通的沒有董事會的公司來說，“總經理”是該公司的最高領導者。但是，假定A公司是一個設有董事會的股份有限公司，該公司管轄許多分公司，分公司的最高領導者也被稱為是“總經理(GM)”，而總公司(Head Office/Headquarters)的“總經理”應翻譯成“Managing Director(MD)”。Managing Director僅次於Chairman。CEO有逐步取代MD的趨勢。
又例如：
▽ discount，deduction，rebate，allowance
▲ discount的意思是“打折”。
▲ trade discount指的是製造商、批發商給零售商的折扣。像商店的“打折”，就是discount。若某商品原價是100英鎊，現在該商品打九五折，英語為：5%discount。deduction的意思是“廣泛的減價”。
