Starting a Conversation at a Networking Event · 社交开场
basicHi, I do not think we have met. I am Alex from TechCorp. What brings you to the event today?
嗨,我想我们还没见过。我是TechCorp的Alex。你今天来参加这个活动的契机是什么?
💡 "What brings you here" 是社交活动中最常见的开场问题,比 "What do you do" 更开放友好。
Nice to meet you, Alex. I am Jamie from CloudBase. I am here mainly to learn about the latest trends in AI. How about you?
很高兴认识你,Alex。我是CloudBase的Jamie。我来这里主要是想了解AI的最新趋势。你呢?
Same here, actually. We have been exploring how to integrate AI into our customer service platform. It sounds like we are in a similar space.
其实我也是。我们一直在探索如何把AI整合到客户服务平台中。听起来我们在类似的领域。
Oh, definitely. We actually just launched an AI chatbot last quarter. It has been a game changer for our support team.
哦,确实。我们上个季度刚上线了一个AI聊天机器人。对我们的支持团队来说简直是变革性的。
That is fascinating. I would love to hear more about your experience with it. What were the biggest challenges you faced during implementation?
太有意思了。我很想了解更多你们的经验。实施过程中你们遇到的最大挑战是什么?
Great question. The biggest one was training the model on our specific use cases. Hey, I would love to continue this conversation. Let me give you my card. Maybe we can grab coffee sometime.
好问题。最大的挑战是用我们的具体用例来训练模型。嘿,我很想继续这个话题。给你我的名片。也许我们可以找时间喝杯咖啡。

intermediateSo you mentioned your team is building a customer service AI. What stage are you at? Are you building from scratch or using an existing model?
你刚提到你的团队在做客服AI。你们现在到什么阶段了?是从零开始做还是用现有模型?
We are still in the early stages — mostly evaluating different platforms. To be honest, we could really use insights from someone who has been through the process.
我们还在早期阶段——主要在评估不同的平台。说实话,我们非常需要经历过这个过程的人的经验。
💡 表达对对方经验的需求是社交活动中建立关系的有效方式。
I would be happy to share what we learned. We made some costly mistakes early on that I wish someone had warned us about.
我很乐意分享我们学到的东西。我们早期犯了一些代价高昂的错误,我真希望当时有人提醒过我们。
That would be incredibly valuable. Would you be open to a thirty-minute call next week? I can bring my tech lead as well so we can get the most out of it.
那真的太有价值了。你下周有空做一个三十分钟的电话会议吗?我也可以带上我的技术主管,这样我们能最大限度地利用这次机会。
Absolutely. Send me an invite for Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon. Here is my LinkedIn as well — feel free to connect.
当然。给我发一个周二或周三下午的邀请。这是我的LinkedIn——请随时添加。
Perfect, I will send the invite first thing Monday morning. It was really great meeting you, Jamie. Enjoy the rest of the event!
