B is an American fitness product distributor, and this is the first time D has played against him. In just a few minutes of conversation, D felt the rough appearance of this big fellow and the mind of a cunning rabbit ―― he must be a veteran on the battlefield and must not be taken lightly. The first steps of both parties are as follows:
B: I want to talk about the price first.
D: shoot. (All ears) I'll be happy to answer any questions you have.
B: Your products are very good. But I'm a little worried about the price you want.
Do you think we will ask for more? (Laughter)
(Giggling) This is not what I want. I know your research costs are high, but what I want is a 25% discount.
Mr. Smith, the price seems a little high. I don't know how we can profit from these figures.
Robert, please call me Dan. (pause) Well, if we promise future business sales, it will cut down your cost of manufacturing Exec-U-ciser, right?
Yes, but it's hard to imagine how you can place such a large order. How can you go through so much? (pause) We need the guarantee of future business, not just the promise.
B: We said we need 1000 pieces in six months. What if we guarantee to place an order for 12 months?
If you can promise in writing, I think we can discuss it further.
