Amsterdam Coffee Break
Can you make a client connection before the break ends?
You’re at a logistics conference in Amsterdam, and the coffee break is your chance to meet a potential client. She manages deliveries for an international company, while you represent a business that serves shipping teams. You have just 100 seconds to start a conversation, find a connection and suggest talking again.
Networking can feel stressful when you’re speaking English: you need to introduce yourself clearly, explain what your company does and respond to a problem you didn’t expect. In this free Speedrun Mission, you’ll practise talking about late deliveries, sharing a way to reach you and proposing a follow-up call before the break ends.

常見問題
How do I introduce myself to a potential client in English?
Start with your name, then give the other person a chance to respond: “Hi, I’m Maya. Nice to meet you.” A greeting on its own doesn’t tell them who you are. Once you’ve exchanged names, you can briefly explain what your company does.
How can I explain what my company does in simple English?
Use a short sentence with a clear verb: “We make tools for shipping teams” or “We help companies plan deliveries.” You don’t need technical terms or a long pitch. In this mission, you can invent your company’s details, so choose something you can describe comfortably.
What can I say when a client mentions late deliveries?
Show that you understand, then make a connection to your own work. For example: “Our clients have the same problem with shipment delays.” Simply saying “I agree” doesn’t explain what you have in common. A specific shared challenge gives you something useful to discuss next.
How do I suggest a follow-up call after a conference?
Make the invitation clear and add a timeframe: “Could we have a short call next Tuesday?” or “Would you have time for a video call next week?” Share a way to contact you as well. Giving your details alone doesn’t make it clear that you want to talk again.
