Outside Iran
Enabling Iranian companies to develop internationally
We prepare Iranian organizations to not only think but act globally in promoting and developing their business outside Iran. Our start point is that effective personal communication, corporate presentation and awareness of international standards and cultural differences is central to success. Consultancy services can be a key element to success in surmounting cultural differences and rising international awareness in business for enterprises. English has emerged as the common language for business. It’s critical today that certain employees and leaders can use English to promote their company and its products. This involves being able to engage others when describing the company’s position in the market, its history and its competitive position. Effective English is needed to ask the right questions, listen and respond to questions about specific products and services, and negotiate.
Challenges ahead
There are often national and cultural differences that act as barriers to effective communication. Intercultural differences combined with limited understanding of the basics of Business English can have a major but often invisible impact on international business. How Business English is used and understood on a website, by email, face-to-face as well as group meetings. Subtle but important cultural variations and misunderstandings can act as roadblocks to successful business relationships and product promotion.
