Eliz:          Now it's time for Gary's Tips with Gary Engleton!

 

Gary:         Hello, Elizabeth!   Today I'll be talking about some expressions that are very useful in business discussions and negotiations.

 

                  It is sometimes useful to repeat something that you said earlier.

 

                  One expression you can use is "Let me say once again..." as in today's Business Dialog.

 

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.

 

Gary:         Mr. Cohen doesn't want to buy a mid-sized car.

 

                  He reminds Ms. Smith of what he said earlier.

 

Ira:            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!

 

Gary:         Both sides are repeating their positions, and they do not seem close to agreement.

 

 

                  Later they are able to reach agreement by recognizing that Mr. Cohen's interests-- dependability and price --can be met by Ms. Smith's mid-size cars.

 

                  The mid-size cars are more dependable than the economy cars, and Ms. Smith offers to sell them for a very low price.

 

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.

 

Gary:         In this Dialog, Mr. Cohen and Ms. Smith began by repeating their positions.

 

                  They finally reach an agreement where both of their interests are met.

 

                  This is an example of a successful negotiation.

 

                  Thanks for joining us today for Gary's Tips.

 

Eliz:          Thanks Gary!

Ira:      As I've said several times before, we want an economy car.
