B: Erm, yes. Could you give us an idea of what you're looking for? Because with this particular course ... .
A: I would have thought a 15 % discount was fair. So that's eight times 3,000 is 24,000 minus 15 %, which is, erm,
3,600. And that would come to a total fee of 20,400. And you'd invoice us on completion of the whole series of semi-
nars. Are these terms broadly acceptable?
B: Er, well, just a moment. We haven't actually agreed on the discount yet. As I was about to say, with this par-
ticular course there wouldn't normally be such a large discount. We offer 10 % on five or more of our standard semi-
nars, but this is a specially designed course for your personnel only. Obviously, we have to cover our development
costs.
A: I should think you could cover them quite easily on just over 20,000, Mr Smart. No, my mind's made up. 15 %
– take it or leave it.
B: Well, now, I'm afraid we could only accept this on one condition.
A: Which is?
B: Erm, we'd want a 25 % non-refundable deposit in advance ... .
A: Done.
B: You see, ... erm, sorry?
A: 25 % deposit – no problem. I'll get accounts to make you out a cheque for, let me see, 5,100 ... . Well, that's it. I
think we've earned ourselves a drink!
B: Erm, well, yes. Nice doing business with you.
