My name is Andrey and I'm a sales manager for a Moscow food company. Last month I had my first business trip abroad — a small conference in Prague.
The flight was three hours. I stayed at a nice hotel near the old town. On the first evening I was very nervous. My English is not perfect, and I didn't know anybody.
On the second day, during the coffee break, a German man came up to me. He said, "Hi, I'm Thomas. Where are you from?" We talked for ten minutes about our companies, then about our families, and finally about football. He was a big fan of Bayern Munich; I told him about Spartak.
By the end of the conference, we had exchanged business cards and Thomas invited me to visit Berlin. It was just small talk over coffee — but it opened a door.
Four small blanks. Fill them, say it out loud twice — done. Include a bit about travel or a hobby, so it feels human, not like a CV.
Hi, I'm ___ . I work for ___ as a ___ . On weekends I like ___ . Nice to meet you.
Short & friendly: "I'm Ivan. I work in sales — office equipment. My hobby is fishing, so I really enjoy weekends. Nice to meet you."
With travel: "Hi! I'm Sergey. I'm a sales manager at TechPro, mostly working with logistics companies. I love travelling — last summer I drove around Georgia. What about you?"
A bit more formal: "Good morning. My name is Andrey Petrov, I work for BestFood as a senior sales manager. We supply frozen products across the Moscow region. Outside of work I follow Spartak. Pleased to meet you."
