[/nbox]
| Starting Could we begin now please? OK, let’s get started, shall we? |
Refusing an offer I’m sorry, we can’t accept that. I’m not sure about that. |
| Exploring positions Can you, please, give me your best offer? What do you have in mind? How would you feel about a bigger discount? |
Accepting an offer I think we can agree to that. That sounds reasonable. |
| Making offers and concessions If you order now, we’ll give you a discount. We’d be prepared to offer you a better price if you increased your order. |
Playing for time Let me sleep on it. I’d like to think about it. I’m sorry, but I’ll have to consult my colleagues about that. |
| Checking understanding When you say there are delivery problems, what do you mean? Have I got this right? You said a dicount on an order of 2000. If I understand you correctly… |
Closing the deal That’s it, then. I think we’ve covered everything. Great! We’ve got a deal. |
