怎么用英语进行价格谈判
Robert回企业呈送了Dan的提议后,老总很令人满意另一方的采购方案,但在折扣优惠层面则期待Robert能再次保持强势的心态,尽可能伸出另一方的道德底线。就在这里七上八下的价钱翘翘板上,彼此是不是能寻找相互的均衡点呢?可以看她们的较量历经:
R: Even with volume sales, our coats for the Exec-U-Ciser won't go down much.
D: Just what are you proposing?
R: We could take a cut(减少)on the price. But 25% would slash our profit margin(利润率)。We suggest a compromise——10%.
D: That's a big change from 25! 10 is beyond my negotiating limit. (pause) Any other ideas?
R: I don't think I can change it right now. Why don't we talk again tomorrow?
D: Sure. I must talk to my office anyway. I hope we can find some common ground(相互信心)on this.
NEXT DAY
D: Robert, I've been instructed to reject the numbers you proposed; but we can try to come up with some thing else.
R: I hope so, Dan. My instructions are to negotiate hard on this deal——but I'm trying very hard to reach some middle ground(相互之间让步)。
D: I understand. We propose a structured deal(环节式和约)。 For the first six months, we get a discount of 20%, and the next six months we get 15%.
R: Dan, I can't bring those numbers back to my office——they'll turn it down flat(断然拒绝)。
D: Then you'll have to think of something better, Robert.
