dites-les d’acheter votre service


Explanation:
Je suis agent immobilier, et je comprend très bien cette phrase, mais je ne sais pas le mot propre en français.

ask for the business = dites-les d’acheter votre service
dire franchement (aimablement, bien sûr)

Most importantly, always ask for the business to China.
implique que les chinois ne vous respecteront pas si vous ne les dites pas franchement d'acheter votre service.
