I’m Head of Purchasing here. You must be Herr Schmidt. — That’s right, but please just call me Marcus. — It’s a pleasure to meet you, Marcus. — Pleased to meet you too. — How was your flight from Germany? — It was okay. I saw a couple of movies and got some work done, but there was lots of turbulence so I couldn’t sleep so well. — I’m sorry to hear that. Well, we’ve got a lot to get through, so this might be a good time to look at the agenda if you don’t mind. — Of course. No problem. Let’s do that. — The main reason why we invited you here today is to discuss the price. — Yes, I was aware of that. Did you get my email with our initial quotation? — Yes, we have considered your proposal of $540 a ton, but I’m afraid it doesn’t seem to be a very competitive offer to us. Could you possibly accept $460? — That seems a bit too low. Unfortunately, we would find that price rather difficult to agree to. Well, that was only a ballpark figure. — Let’s try to find some kind of a middle way. How would you feel about $500? — I was still hoping for something quite a lot better. Could you move a little more on that? — Well, I think we’ve already been fairly flexible on the price. Another possible option is to agree on $500, but just for a small sample order. — I’d be very willing to consider that. Shall we perhaps say just three tons to start with? — That’s a deal! In that case, would it be at all possible for you to deliver by the beginning of next month? — That won’t be a problem. In fact, we can have it to you by the end of this month. — Thank you. I really appreciate that. Well, I think we’ve more or less covered everything. — I think we have. It was a pleasure doing business with you. I’ll send you an email confirming everything by end of business today. — Thank you very much. It was a pleasure for me too. I look forward to hearing from you. Goodbye.
