Today I&#8217;m going to teach you some business English &#8220;buzzwords&#8221; &#8211; informal expressions that you might hear at work or in a professional context.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re learning English for work, you&#8217;ll want to be able to speak English confidently in many different situations in your job. My <a href=\"https:\/\/espressoenglish.lpages.co\/business-english-course\/\"><strong>Business English Course<\/strong><\/a> can help you learn practical phrases and vocabulary for phone calls, meetings, presentations, negotiation, networking, customer service, and more.<\/p>\n<p>All right, get ready to learn 14 different business English expressions that are probably new to you.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re a creative person, and you try to<strong> push the envelope<\/strong> at your company. To <strong>push the envelope<\/strong> means to move beyond the limits of what is normally done, to innovate and go into new areas.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you want to cause a <strong>paradigm shift<\/strong> in your company or industry. That&#8217;s a radical change in fundamental beliefs or theory.<\/p>\n<p>Your innovative ideas might get some <strong>pushback<\/strong> at the company &#8211; pushback is\u00a0opposition or resistance to an initiative.<\/p>\n<p>Some of your co-workers might tell you, <strong>&#8220;Don&#8217;t make waves&#8221;<\/strong> or <strong>&#8220;Don&#8217;t rock the boat&#8221;<\/strong> &#8211; that means, don&#8217;t do anything to disturb the current situation.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, your company is having a <strong>budget crunch\/squeeze<\/strong> &#8211; there is not enough money to do everything that is necessary or planned.<\/p>\n<p>The company needs to <strong>streamline<\/strong> its operations &#8211; that means to improve efficiency by simplifying things. The company decides to lay off some of its employees, and you lose your job.<\/p>\n<p>Then you decide to start your own company. You&#8217;ll have to do it <strong>on a shoestring budget<\/strong> &#8211; using very little money.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you <strong>pitch<\/strong> your business idea to investors. To <strong>pitch\u00a0<\/strong>an idea means\u00a0you try to convince someone to invest in or\u00a0support it.<\/p>\n<p>But nobody&#8217;s interested in investing, so you&#8217;ll have to <strong>bootstrap<\/strong> &#8211; do it with your own work and resources, without outside help.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, you find a business partner who&#8217;s <strong>on the same wavelength<\/strong> &#8211; the two of you have views that are similar; you are thinking and working in the same direction.<\/p>\n<p>And together, you manage to <strong>put the company on the map.<\/strong> That means to make something known to the public or famous.<\/p>\n<p>You decide to reinvest <strong>the lion&#8217;s share<\/strong> of your profit back into improving your products. The lion&#8217;s share is the majority, the largest part.<\/p>\n<p>And as a result, your products are <strong>world-class<\/strong> &#8211; that means of the highest quality.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you&#8217;ve enjoyed this little story and learned some business English vocabulary\u00a0along the way!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Learn more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/difference-between-job-work-and-career\/\">JOB, WORK, or CAREER?<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are tons of these informal expressions used in the business world, and my Business English Course includes several lessons teaching you common business idioms, in addition to practical phrases for professional situations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alert\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Learn English for Professional Situations<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/espressoenglish.lpages.co\/business-english-course\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19993\" src=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/business-1024x784.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/business-1024x784.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/business-300x230.png 300w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/business-768x588.png 768w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/business.png 1278w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><center><a class=\"elementor-button rounded large blue\" href=\"https:\/\/espressoenglish.lpages.co\/business-english-course\/\"><strong>Click here for more information<\/strong><\/a><\/center><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Business English Course Hello students!
