Negotiating Prices Professionally in English

Negotiating prices is a key skill in business, and using the right language can make all the difference. In this video, we demonstrate how to negotiate professionally in English, using phrases that convey your needs without sounding too pushy. For example, instead of simply saying, “Can we have it cheaper?” Claire asks, “Would it be possible to negotiate a lower price?”—a much more professional approach.

We also cover phrases like “We’re looking for more favorable terms” instead of bluntly demanding a better deal and “The proposed price is acceptable to us,” which is a diplomatic way of confirming an agreement. Additionally, using polite language like, “Are there any discounts you would be able to offer?” helps to maintain a positive tone during negotiations.

By watching this video, you’ll learn how to use polite and professional language when negotiating prices. These phrases can be used in various business scenarios, whether you’re discussing a contract, making a purchase, or agreeing on terms. With practice, you’ll be able to negotiate confidently and effectively in English, ensuring you always get the best possible deal.
