Come on, let’s meet halfway.

A: Please give me a discount for these items.

B: I’m sorry but that’s the best price I could give you.
A: Come on, let’s meet halfway. I guarantee you that I’ll be a regular customer from now on.
B: Oh! This is such a diffi cult situation. Let me see what I can do.

A. Okay.
B. I can give you a 10% discount for the total price if you agree to provide us some promo-
tional materials.

A. Sure. It’s a deal!

1. Are you an impulsive buyer or a frugal shopper?

Sample answer:

I am a frugal shopper. I always want to get the best value for my money. It’s difficult to earn money so I just buy things that are necessary.

2. Do you haggle when you shop?

Sample answer:

Yes especially at flea markets, yard sales and when I am out of the country where haggling is expected. I think everything is
negotiable.

3. Do you have good negotiating skills?

Sample answer:
Yes, I have good negotiating skills. I think the most effective tool in negotiating is to listen to the interests of the other party. After doing so,

both parties can agree to meet at a common ground.
