are you happy with our product

yes

i’m very happy with your product and i

hope i will be happy with the cost

[Music]

well

that’s what we are going to talk about

today

the cost

will your product be very expensive

or will it be cheap

expensive or cheap

well

our product cost is a little high but

don’t forget you will have more

production and better quality so you

will not lose money

but how much will it cost

well that depends on how much you order

if you order a lot

the cost will be a little lower

and if i order a little bit

if you order only a little bit the cost

will be higher

so how much does it cost

well one bottle of our product costs

about twenty dollars

ah mark

that’s very expensive

but don’t forget we can negotiate the

price

you mean i can bargain with you

yes

and i can discount the price for you

great

i knew you would say that

but

you must order a lot to get a good price

and if i order just a little bit

i said before the price will be high

and what are the terms of payment

well you have a one-year contract

okay

and you can make one large payment or

you can divide into monthly payments

let’s see

i would much rather pay by month

no problem

that’s okay

how much will 500 bottles cost per month

500 bottles

okay let’s see

there you go

how’s that

that’s not bad

but this is better

you can buy our product at this price

only if you buy 1 000 bottles

600

850

700

750

it’s a deal

okay

well you are very good at bargaining

mark

well you can negotiate the price very

well also

tim thank you

well

i guess everything is finished then

okay

i know you will be very happy with our

product

i hope i can agree with you

but if there are any problems i have

your guarantee

problems

please call me and i will come to help

you
