Respond to a counteroffer without losing the deal

Seller Buyer
Seller 01

Thanks for making time to talk about handling a Counteroffer today.

Buyer 02

Of course. I understand we need to respond to a counteroffer without losing the deal.

Seller 03

Thank you for your counteroffer.

Buyer 04

Yes, let us look at commercial terms and keep the conversation practical.

Seller 05

From our side, the main concern is price, value, and approval timing.

Buyer 06

That makes sense, and I also need to consider our internal policy and approval process.

Seller 07

That price is difficult for us.

Buyer 08

I appreciate the direct explanation. Could you share what outcome would work best for you?

Seller 09

Ideally, we would like a clear plan with the right price and a realistic schedule.

Buyer 10

We can review the budget and check whether the current order still meets your needs.

Seller 11

That would help. Our team wants to avoid confusion later in the project or account.

Buyer 12

Understood. I can prepare a revised proposal and include the key points in writing.

Seller 13

We can adjust the package instead.

Buyer 14

That is reasonable. I may need to confirm the details with my manager before we commit.

Seller 15

No problem. If you can confirm the timing, I can update our team this afternoon.

Buyer 16

I will also check the proposal details so the message is accurate.

Seller 17

Good. The most important thing is that the customer, client, or department receives a clear response.

Buyer 18

Agreed. Clear communication will protect the relationship and reduce risk.

Seller 19

Could you send the update by the end of the day if possible?

Buyer 20

Yes. I will send a summary with the agreement points and any open questions.

Seller 21

Thank you. That gives us a practical way to move forward.

Buyer 22

You're welcome. I am glad we found a workable agreement for both sides.
