If you work in an English-speaking environment \u2013 or if you want to do so \u2013 you\u2019ll encounter a lot of words that you might not have learned in English class.<\/p>\n<p>This video is going to teach you 10 business English verbs and how to use them. They\u2019re also used outside business, so you might also see these words in news articles, for example.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re learning English for your job or career, one of the best ways to improve your skills is to join my <a href=\"https:\/\/espressoenglish.lpages.co\/business-english-course\/\"><strong>Business English Course.<\/strong><\/a> This video has only 10 words, but inside my course you\u2019ll learn hundreds of common business English terms and phrases that you can use in a professional context.<\/p>\n<p>OK, let\u2019s learn these ten business English verbs!<\/p>\n<h3>#1 \u2013 restructure<\/h3>\n<p>To restructure something means to change the structure of that thing \u2013 to make a change in a system or organization. If a company is restructuring, it might change the way the different departments and teams are organized inside the company. A business might also restructure its product line \u2013 change the number, names, types, and\/or prices of the products it sells.<\/p>\n<h3>#2 \u2013 troubleshoot<\/h3>\n<p>Troubleshoot means to find the cause of a problem through testing. This verb is often used for finding problems in complex systems like machines, electronics, and software. If your car won\u2019t start and you don\u2019t know why, a mechanic would troubleshoot the issue and find the reason for the problem.<\/p>\n<h3>#3 \u2013 delegate<\/h3>\n<p>The verb delegate means to give responsibility for a task to someone else. If your manager has an idea for an advertising campaign and she asks you to contact different magazines, she has delegated that part of the project to you \u2013 she gives you the responsibility instead of doing the work herself.<\/p>\n<h3>#4 \u2013 gauge<\/h3>\n<p>The word gauge, used as a verb, means to evaluate or estimate. If a company is considering launching a new product, it might do market research to gauge the demand for that product. When a company is hiring a new employee, the interviewer must gauge (evaluate or estimate) the skills of each candidate for the job.<\/p>\n<h3>#5 \u2013 recruit<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking of hiring, we have the verb recruit which means to try to get someone to join a group or organization. A company might try to recruit people who have graduated from an elite college \u2013 meaning it tries to convince those people to join the company. A non-profit organization could recruit volunteers (try to get volunteers) to help at an event.<\/p>\n<h3>#6 \u2013 pinpoint<\/h3>\n<p>The verb pinpoint means to identify something with precision; you identify it exactly. If a company is losing customers, it would try to pinpoint the specific reasons why customers are leaving.<\/p>\n<h3>#7 \u2013 differentiate<\/h3>\n<p>Differentiate means to make it clear that something is different. If a business sells very similar products to one of its competitors, it would look for ways to differentiate \u2013 show customers how their products are different.<\/p>\n<h3>#8 \u2013 expedite<\/h3>\n<p>To expedite a process means to do the process faster, so it takes less time than it normally would. When you mail something at the post office, it usually takes a few days to arrive \u2013 but if you pay more for next-day delivery, then you can expedite the delivery (make it go faster).<\/p>\n<h3>#9 \u2013 disclose<\/h3>\n<p>If you disclose some information, it means you reveal it, you make known something that was previously hidden or secret. The president of a company might refuse to disclose (tell or reveal) his own salary. Another example is if a company discovers some flaw or safety issue with one of its products, it should disclose this (tell the information) to customers so that the customers can stay safe.<\/p>\n<h3>#10 \u2013 optimize<\/h3>\n<p>To optimize something means to make it the best it can be. A business might hire a consultant to help optimize the company\u2019s procedures \u2013 make them as effective as possible. I\u2019m here to help you optimize your English \u2013 to improve it, to fix any mistakes or problems, and help you speak English well!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Learn more: <\/em>\n<ul>\n<li><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/difference-between-job-work-and-career\/\">JOB, WORK, or CAREER?<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/client-vs-customer-difference-examples\/\"><em>CLIENT or CUSTOMER?<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s all for today\u2019s lesson, but remember, you can learn a lot more inside my Business English Course.
