Outsource  外包

To cut down the cost and improve efficiency  ,many companies tend to seek outside help  .They will pay another company  ,Usually at a lower price  ,To take on parts of their work  ,This is the outsourcing  .

For example  many if you mean companies may out source  their special effects to professional teams  .And to get what we need  ,We need to find a vender . 

vendor 供应商

To vend is to sell  .

So a Vendor  is  someone who sells something  , we often see vendors selling souvenirs纪念品 Or snacks小吃 on the street  . But a vendor could also be a big company selling real products, or like here, services  .

By the way , I'm sure you've all seen  this kind of vending machine right  ,?

They're called that because they sell your snacks  .

So what does the vendor do  ?

Which is peter's company  ?

He said they provide end to end safety training  .

end to end,全过程的,从头到尾

And to end means including everything  , From the very beginning to the end  .So I had to add the safety training may cover  all parts of safety training and link the parts together  .

Like a Peter said  they provide training for eye safety ,Hazmat safety  , First aid  ,and anything else related to safety  .  Well,  not sure if what Peter said is true, word of mouth    says they are a good training company  At least  . 

Word of mouth  口耳相传

Word of mouth is a vivid 生动的expression  ,Like you get a starting shirt  from an online shop  and you are  telling all your friends about it  .They heir above the company through word of mouth, from you.

This is to segment the market ,

segment 细分

Similar to divide or separate  ,

Okay,  now we know the vendor provides end to end services .

And enjoys a good reputation  ,So the next step is to ask for the Quote  .

Quote  ,报价

the term quote means the provides a person or a  company charities to do some work  .Usually for big project or large orders  .Like home decoration , Package tours  ,Or customized  products for a company . If you want to know the price  ,You can ask ” can I get a Quote ?  ”
