Zhao: Mr. Shen, I was just told that they have contacted several processing factories and we are the last stop on their trip.
Shen: We need to seize this opportunity.
Zhao: It's not a bad thing for them to make some comparisons, which will better demonstrate our strength.
Shen: Exactly! Have faith!
Zhao: We can see she was quite satisfied during her visit.
Shen: How much do you know about Ms.Clement?
Zhao: She graduated from a famous business school in France and now she is studying Chinese in Beijing.
Shen: OK, it's good you did some homework before the negotiation!
Zhao: Thanks for your compliment! What should I pay attention to in the coming negotiation?
Shen: The principle of equality and mutual benefit. We should neither abase ourselves nor act arrogant.
We can make concessions in minor aspects such as packaging, but we must adhere to our basic principles.
Zhao: Mr. Shen, you have rich experience in negotiating and you are so eloquent.
As you will attend to the negotiation personally, I'm sure we'll be invincible.
Shen: The most important thing is to have a good grasp of the other party's situations.
Zhao: You mean we need to know both ourselves and our adversary?
Shen: Exactly!
Zhao: They contacted us first, and they came to visit us very soon, and they have put forward very detailed requirements,...
Shen: So what can you see from all these?
Zhao: I can see they have the intent for cooperation. their high work efficiency might indicate an urgency in processing projects.
Shen: So we should highlight our assurance of processing quality and ability to meet deadlines.
A simple wrestling over the price is not necessary.
Zhao: Yes. People often say that price is the focus of the negotiation, but we'd better act according to the circumstances.
Shen: Pay attention to the negotiation skills. Try to do it to a nicety.
Zhao: It is really hard to make the right concession.
Shen: Remember our base price and we could make appropriate concessions.
Zhao: I see.
