Alan , I believe you have studied our catalogue and price list . Are you interested in some of our products ?

Yes , I'm thinking of buying some T-shirts , but I find your price is on the high side .

I'm very surprised to hear you say that . I think our price is very favorable . You can hardly get such an attractive price from other suppliers .
neutral
user
I'm not so sure of that . I think it's difficult for me to push sales at such a price .
neutral
assistant
What's your proposal then ?
neutral
user
I think to get the business done , you should at least reduce the price by 20 % .
neutral
assistant
We could take a cut on the price if your order is a large one , but a 20 % reduction is really more than we can do . What quantity are you going to order from us then ?
neutral
user
As a trial order , I'll take 5,000 dozen this time .
neutral
assistant
5,000 dozen is by no means a large order . In that case , the best I can do is to give you a 5 % reduction .
neutral
user
That's really a big change from 20 % . I really can't accept that .
neutral
assistant
What's your counter-offer then ?
neutral
user
To conclude the deal , I'd say a reduction of at least 15 % would help .
neutral
assistant
15 % is impossible . That'll leave us almost no profit .
neutral
user
If that's the case , I'll have to go somewhere else to meet my needs .
neutral
assistant
How about doing it this way ? You increase your quantity to 8,000 dozen and I'll give you a l0 % reduction .
neutral
user
8000 would be too large a figure to be used for a trial .
neutral
assistant
Well , to encourage future business , I'm prepared to reduce the price by 10 % . We can't go any further .
neutral
user
Ok . Let's call it a deal .
