UNIT 2 LESSON 3

NEGOTIATING

There is a lot of back and forth in negotiations. Use these expressions to talk about offers and proposals:

 

• Your preliminary offer was much higher than we expected.
• I propose that you buy a different model.
• What do you propose that we do?
• My offer is 300 units at $250 each.

Use these expressions to reject an offer or proposal:

 

• I'm afraid that price is out of the question.
• I'm sorry, but we can't offer that kind of discount.
• There's just no way we can accept your offer.

   

Use these expressions to make a counteroffer:

 

• I have a counteroffer for you. How about 20%?
• What would you say if I offered $500?
• Would you consider increasing the quantity?
