商务谈判实例（二）
Robert回公司呈报Dan的提案后，老板很满意对方的采购计划；但在折扣方面则希望Robert能继续维持强硬的态度，尽量探出对方的底线。就在这七上七八的价格翘翘板上，双方是否能找到彼此地平衡点呢？请看下面分解：R： Even with volume sales， our coats for the Exec-U-Ciser won't go down much.
D： Just what are you proposing？
R： We could take a cut（降低）on the price. But 25% would slash our profit margin（毛利率）。We suggest a compromise�D�D10%.
D： That's a big change from 25！ 10 is beyond my negotiating limit. （pause） Any other ideas？
R： I don't think I can change it right now. Why don't we talk again tomorrow？
D： Sure. I must talk to my office anyway. I hope we can find some common ground（共同信念）on this.
NEXT DAY
D： Robert， I've been instructed to reject the numbers you proposed； but we can try to come up with some thing else.
D： I understand. We propose a structured deal（阶段式和约）。 For the first six months， we get a discount of 20%， and the next six months we get 15%.
R： Dan， I can't bring those numbers back to my office�D�Dthey'll turn it down flat（打回票）。
D： Then you'll have to think of something better， Robert.
