English term or phrase: Syntax
Aus einer Verkaufsschulung. Firmen sollen davon überzeugt werden, dass sie sich unbedingt in ein bestimmtes Online-Verzeichnis aufnehmen lassen müssen.

We contact the leading companies of all industries and invite them to join the B2B Information Database in an appropriate way.

Bin unsicher, worauf sich "in an appropriate way" syntaktisch bezieht. Danke im Voraus.

agree  Armorel Young: it's poor (and strange) English though - I wouldn't be surprised if they mean "we invite them in an appropriate way to join the database"
