Dialogue 1

A: Is there any way you can cut us a better deal on your wholesale price for this order?

B: We did the best that we could to give you a low price. Did you get our latest estimate?

A: Based on the estimate you ge us, by the time we figure in transportation and other expenses, our profit is shot. With the offer youve given us, were making next to nothing. Cant you do any better?

B: Ive already given you a discount of 20% off of what we normally charge if I go any lower, well he loss on the project. I really want to work with you on this, but weve already gone as low as we could go.

A: To be honest Our budgeted cost cant exceed more than $150 dollars per unit. Thats our bottom line. If you can meet that price, you will get a deal. Otherwise

B: Ill say that Ill go over the numbers again with our financial team and see what I can do. I cant give you any guarantees, but Ill try.

Dialogue 2

A: Youve got the email with all the specifications for the project from us, well be accepting bids until noon on Tuesday, if you he any questions in the meantime, please let me know

B: Actually, I do he a question. Wed like to know what you had in mind for a budget on this project. Were hoping to put together a really petitive bid, but at the same time, wed like to hit your target price too.

A: I understand, but unfortunately it is our policy not to disclose our bottom line. You can be assured that price is a weighty consideration when we review the proposals, but we also take other elements into consideration, including design and practicality. We also give weight to the reputation of the submitting pany.

B: Do you he any price range? Is there any way you can give me some ideas of which direction to go, or how high is too high?

A: We are just looking for a reasonable price according to the specifications in our project blueprint. Thats all I can say.
