Sure, please have a seat. Jimmy wants our team to only speak English in all our meetings. I hope you don’t mind. |

Well, as you know, I have my first customer meeting as a Technical Sales Engineer this week, and I’m scared to death. |

You see, I spent high school and college in the US and learned presentation skills there. Maybe my tone with customers will be too direct and casual. |

So, you feel you might not be polite enough in Japanese for the customer meeting? |

Well, I completed training in business Japanese, but I’ve only talked with customers on the phone before, meeting them face-to-face is different! |
