Bargaining & making concession
Problem?Problem?
V: What’s the cost per item?
A: The unit price is $600
V: It is high.
A: What sort of price were you looking for?
V: It is around $500.
A: I think you will find our prices are
standard for this market.
Tentative, diplomatic & concession language
That seems rather high
We were expecting something around $500.
Using negative questions
•That’s quite low, isn’t it?
•Isn’t that a little low?

be ... ▪ We'd be prepared to .... However, there would

Making concession
We normally only offer these conditions to
regular customers, but we can do this for
you
That’s a little short for us, but we could
deliver locally in two weeks

Vietnam
Vietnam is a civilized
country that is serious about
the etiquette
There were many modest and
self-abasement words admired
in spoken language since
ancient time.
In the business, conversation is
to use appellation to show
respect to another in Vietnam
United States
American people always
advocate equality and they are
more straight forward.
According to praise, the American
accept the praise immediately and
show their thanks to them.
In the work place, it is common
that younger generation call the
elder or even their boss’s name.
![Page 15: Presentation1 final](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062710/559bc6ef1a28abcb208b46a5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
American
Emphasize direct and simple
methods of communication
Saying “yes” or “no” directly
I can't see any problem with that
I'm afraid that's not acceptable to
us./ I'm afraid we can't agree with
you there.
Vietnamese
Rely heavily on indirect and
complex methods.
Avoid saying “no” directly.
“Yes” does not mean an
agreement. Sometimes "yes" only
means "maybe".
"Yes, I'll consider it" can mean
"impossible" in Vietnamese
culture

Agreeing
I generally agree I agree. I fully/ completely agree (strong) I agree with you on that point. That's a fair suggestion. So what you're saying is that you... In other words, you feel that...
![Page 17: Presentation1 final](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062710/559bc6ef1a28abcb208b46a5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Disagreeing
I’m afraid that I cannot agree because ... (polite
disagreement with an explaination of why)
I can not compeletely agree. My problem is … (partial
disagreement followed by a statement of where and why the
speakers disagree)
I’m afraid I see some negative consequences of X’s
opinion which are … (disagreeing and making a case for
one’s opinion)
I am afraid that those conditions are unacceptable
because …

Explicit and implicit expression
American Prefer an explicit → clearer
and stronger words
E.g. Do your company agree
about the product of ours? Don’t ask me for the design,
I’m asking for the price On the condition (very
strong) that you
Vietnamese
Prefer an implicit → use
ambiguous word and litotes
E.g.
Tôi thấy thế này vẫn chưa
ổn lắm
Chúng tôi sẽ xem xét sau

Compare the following
Do it & We would appreciate your doing it We want the meeting on … & Could we meet on
…?
Using these expressions creates a much more
polite tone and a sense of respect
Could, would, please, and appreciate
![Page 20: Presentation1 final](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062710/559bc6ef1a28abcb208b46a5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Ways of showing respect:
Use “would like” rather than “want” when
negotiating the first time.
E.g.
I would like to hear you talk about that first point
again.
![Page 21: Presentation1 final](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062710/559bc6ef1a28abcb208b46a5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Useful structures • We would like to settle this issue in a muatually satisfactory
way.(Showing willingness to coorperate)
• Could I ask a few questions to see whether I have understood
your position? (clarifying)
• Could you explain that point again? (clarifying)
Then as I understand it, your offer is …
I am not sure that I completely understand your offer. Could
we go through it again?
![Page 22: Presentation1 final](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062710/559bc6ef1a28abcb208b46a5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Checking: Let's just confirm the details, then. Let's make sure we agree on
these figures (dates / etc.). Can we check these points one last time?
Accepting: We are happy to accept this agreement. This agreement is acceptable to us. I believe we have an agreement.
![Page 23: Presentation1 final](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062710/559bc6ef1a28abcb208b46a5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
We would have to study this. Can we get back to you on this later?
We'll have to consult with our colleagues back in the office. We'd like to get back to you on it.
