By PookieFriends & plans · Yapr Learn
In professional settings, introducing yourself in Spanish requires more than a simple 'Hola.' You need to clearly state your name, your company, and your role, and then smoothly exchange contact details. This lesson teaches you elementary-level phrases to do exactly that, using broadly useful Latin American Spanish. You'll learn how to say 'Hi, I'm Alex from Company X,' ask for and provide contact information, and understand the key differences between social and professional introductions. By the end, you'll be able to handle a basic professional introduction with confidence.
By the end, you can…
- introduce myself professionally in Spanish, stating my name and company.
- ask for and provide contact information in a work context.
- distinguish between social and professional introductions in Spanish.
Listen once. Try it slowly. Then say it without looking.

Hola, soy Alex de la empresa X.
Hi, I'm Alex from Company X.
OH-lah, soy AH-leks deh lah em-PREH-sah EH-kees
Use 'soy' for permanent identity. 'De la empresa' means 'from the company.' For a company name, say 'de' + name, e.g., 'de Microsoft.'
Mucho gusto, soy Alex. Trabajo en X.
Nice to meet you, I'm Alex. I work at X.
MOO-choh GOOS-toh, soy AH-leks. trah-BAH-hoh en EH-kees
'Mucho gusto' is a standard professional greeting. 'Trabajo en' is used for the company you work for.
¿Me puede dar su tarjeta?
Can you give me your card?
meh PWEH-deh dar soo tar-HEH-tah
Formal 'usted' form. Use 'tu' with colleagues you know well: '¿Me puedes dar tu tarjeta?'
Claro, aquí tiene. Mi correo es alex@empresa.com.
Sure, here you go. My email is alex@empresa.com.
KLAH-roh, ah-KEE TYEH-neh. mee koh-RREH-oh es alex@empresa.com
'Aquí tiene' is formal for 'here you go.' For email, say 'correo electrónico' or just 'correo.'
¿Cuál es su número de teléfono?
What is your phone number?
KWAHL es soo NOO-meh-roh deh teh-LEH-foh-noh
Formal. For informal: '¿Cuál es tu número?' In some regions, 'celular' is used for mobile.

Make it make sense
Useful pattern
To introduce yourself professionally, use 'Soy [name] de [company].' For example: 'Soy María de la empresa ABC.' To ask for contact info, use '¿Me puede dar su [tarjeta/correo/número]?' This pattern works with 'puede' (formal) or 'puedes' (informal). Respond with 'Claro, aquí tiene' or 'Claro, aquí tienes.' Remember that 'su' means 'your' (formal), and 'tu' is informal. In Latin America, 'su' is common in business settings even among colleagues.
When to use it
Use these phrases in networking events, meetings, or when meeting a new client. Unlike social introductions where you might say '¿Cómo estás?' and talk about hobbies, professional introductions focus on your role and company. For example, after 'Mucho gusto,' you can say 'Soy el gerente de proyectos en X.' Avoid asking personal questions like '¿Tienes hijos?' in a first professional meeting. Instead, ask '¿A qué se dedica su empresa?' (What does your company do?) to keep it career-focused.
Listen to each line, then take one part and reply out loud.
Hola, soy Alex de la empresa X. Mucho gusto.
Hi, I'm Alex from Company X. Nice to meet you.OH-lah, soy AH-leks deh lah em-PREH-sah EH-kees. MOO-choh GOOS-tohMucho gusto, Alex. Soy Carla de Y. ¿Me puede dar su tarjeta?
Nice to meet you, Alex. I'm Carla from Y. Can you give me your card?MOO-choh GOOS-toh, AH-leks. soy KAR-lah deh EE-gree-eh-gah. meh PWEH-deh dar soo tar-HEH-tahClaro, aquí tiene. Mi correo es alex@empresa.com.
Sure, here you go. My email is alex@empresa.com.KLAH-roh, ah-KEE TYEH-neh. mee koh-RREH-oh es alex@empresa.comGracias. El mío es carla@y.com. ¿Cuál es su número?
Thanks. Mine is carla@y.com. What's your number?GRAH-syahs. el MEE-oh es carla@y.com. KWAHL es soo NOO-meh-rohA little context goes a long way
In Latin American business culture, using 'usted' (formal 'you') is common when meeting someone for the first time, especially if they are older or higher in rank. However, in some countries like Mexico, younger professionals may quickly switch to 'tú' after a few interactions. When in doubt, start with 'usted' and wait for the other person to suggest 'tuteo' (using 'tú'). Also, exchanging business cards is often done with a slight bow and a handshake, and it's polite to briefly look at the card before putting it away.
One thing to watch for
Using '¿Cómo estás?' as the first thing you say in a professional introduction.
Try this instead: In professional settings, start with 'Mucho gusto' or 'Es un placer.' '¿Cómo estás?' is more casual and can seem too informal. For example, say 'Mucho gusto, soy Alex de X' instead of '¿Cómo estás? Soy Alex.'
Your turn
Try answering out loud before checking a possible answer.
1How would you say 'Hi, I'm Ana from the company Sol?'
Show a sample answer
Hola, soy Ana de la empresa Sol.
This uses 'soy' for identity and 'de la empresa' for company. You could also say 'de Sol' without 'la empresa' if the company name is clear.
2What is a formal way to ask for someone's email?
Show a sample answer
¿Me puede dar su correo electrónico?
This is formal because it uses 'puede' and 'su.' An informal version would be '¿Me puedes dar tu correo?' Both are correct depending on the context.
3Respond to '¿Cuál es su número de teléfono?' with a sample phone number.
Show a sample answer
Mi número es 123-456-7890.
You can say 'Mi número es...' or 'Es el...' In Latin America, phone numbers are often grouped differently, but the phrase remains the same.
Remember: in professional Spanish introductions, use 'soy' + name + 'de' + company, and use formal 'usted' until invited to switch. Exchange contact info with '¿Me puede dar su...?' and respond with 'Claro, aquí tiene.'
