English term or phrase: bring to the table
A bekezdés címe "Stay current". Arról beszél, hogy az embernek figyelnie kell a világ eseményeit, a cég történéseit és az ügyfelek körüli történéseket.

a kérdéses mondat:
"Customer relationships are an asset; people should bring them to the table."

a "them" itt az ügyfélkapcsolatok vagy maguk az ügyfelek?

üzletet kell belőle kovácsolni?

Köszi előre is.

: : I can't find anything anywhere concerning the origin of the phrase "Bring something to the table," or "Bring to the table." Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
: I don't have any solid information here, but I believe the table is one where negotiations take place, as in peace talks, rather than a dining table. More context for the phrase might help.
Definitely the 'negotiating table' - it's been used for some years in the context of "there's no point having a meeting if you haven't got anything new to bring to/put on the table". Trades union/employers' soundbites are good sources of examples of such expressions. Proposals or their constituent parts are usually set out in writing and physically put on the table to be circulated to those present for discussion.

Business Jargon: to bring to the table
Definition:
The skills or benefits that something or someone offers.
Example Dialogue:
A: Based on talking to him on the phone, I don’t think that he brings very much to the table.
B: I understand why you have that impression, but he actually brings quite a bit to the table. He is brilliant at developing strategy and marketing plans. It is just hard to tell when you first meet him.

To offer something.....What are you going to bring to the table at the meeting ?

www.istudentcity.com/feature/011301_talk_idioms1.asp
If you go to a meeting, what you bring to the table is your contribution - what you've prepared ahead of time, or what you can add to the meeting.

Strategic Planning Workshop is a fun and challenging class for this reason. The art of suspending judgment to allow research to inform our perspectives is difficult no matter what professional background you bring to the table.

terítékre kell venni/napirenden kell tartani


Explanation:
Gondolom, az első kifejezés a közvetlen megfelelő, míg ide inkább a második illik, vagy pl. "gondolni kell rá", "figyelemmel kell kísérni" és számtalan más hasonló kifejezés.
Természetesen a kapcsolatokra vonatkozik a "them".

Vagy "terítéken kell tartani".

előnyt kovácsol


Explanation:
előnyt kell belőle kovácsolni (az ügyfélkapcsolatból)

Egyetértek Gáborral, csak stilizálom (a hasznot húz gyakran negatív asszociációkat kelt, az előnyt kovácsol kifejezetten pozitív).
