How It Helps Your Business English
The article opens with general negotiation vocabulary, including highball, lowball and leverage, each with a short meaning and an example sentence. Nine sections then group the sixty-two phrases by stage of the discussion: setting the agenda, asking for proposals, suggesting, arguing, agreeing, disagreeing, compromising, clarifying and concluding.
You can use the contents menu to reach the stage you are preparing for and take the phrases you need from that section. The example sentences show the register each phrase carries, so you can tell a firm refusal from a softer one before you use it in a meeting. Reading the vocabulary section first gives you the terms your counterpart is likely to use.
