Negotiating Expressions

You make a deal or reach an agreement on the negotiating table.
Negotiation is an extension of the sales process. To negotiate you need the language of conceding, downplaying and exploring ideas.
Concession is the willingness to go along with something someone else wants to get what you want. Here are some examples:

________________________________________________
Conceding and exploring other possibilities...
I see your point, but don't you think it is also true that..?

Yes, I'll go along with that. Now, will you go along with me on my idea?

I'll buy that. Now let me explain something...

Exploring other possibilities...

What would happen if we bought a few more machines from you?

Is it possible to change the color for us?

Do you have any other ideas regarding this issue?

Perhaps you need to give this some additional thought before deciding.

_________________________________________________
To offer, to suggest, to propose, to settle...
I would like to recommend a 15 percent pay cut.

I suggest we redesign the manufacturing process.

I am offering a 1 percent commission on the sale.

Let's settle our disagreements before progressing further.

Can we compromise here?

I'll give a little, you give a little; maybe we can reach a compromise (an agreement).

We can talk about the proposal (contract, idea...).

May I suggest that we table (postpone) this discussion until next Monday?

We must figure a way to resolve our differences.

Let's consider this new proposal. (idea).

Can we resolve our differences in time to meet the deadline?

I do not know if this will resolve our differences.

We must figure a way to reach an agreement before the deadline.

Perhaps you can suggest a solution to this problem.

Let's make a deal!

Can we sign the contract before the deadline?

Tom will reject any opposing ideas.
