Eliz:          Let’s listen to today’s Business Dialog.

 

                  Ira Cohen of Hippo Records is negotiating with Winnie Smith of Smith Auto Sales.

 

                  Hippo Records wants to buy ten cars for their sales people.

 

SFX:          office

 

Winnie:     Let me say once again, we can sell you our four-door, mid-size car for thirteen thousand dollars.

 

                  That includes power steering and brakes, air conditioning and an FM/AM radio.

 

Ira:            That’s a good price, but I’m sorry.  We don’t want a mid-size car.

 

                  As I’ve said several times before, we want an economy car.

 

Winnie:     Mr. Cohen, I understand your position.

 

                  But as I’ve told you, we are selling the mid-size cars at a very low price!

 

                  I don’t understand why you aren’t interested in them.

 

Ira:            It’s because our primary concerns are dependability and costs.

 

                  An economy car costs less to buy and to operate.

 

                  And we don’t care about extras, like air conditioning.

 

Winnie:     Mr. Cohen, I’m going to be very honest with you.

 

                  Our mid-sized cars are more dependable and more durable than the economy cars.

 

                  In addition, we have a large supply, and we’d like to reduce our inventory.

 

                  If you would buy ten cars, I would be willing to reduce the price even more.

 

                  And I’m sure your salespeople would like the air conditioning.

 

Ira:            Well... in that case, I might be interested.
