第六章C o u n t e r-O f f e r s还盘
第一节C o u n t e r-O f f e r s L e t t e r s还盘信
一、T h e S t e p s o f W r i t i n g C o u n t e r-o f f e r L e t t e r s还盘信的写作步骤
还盘(C o u n t e r O f f e r)又称还价。指交易一方收到对方报盘后,不同意或不完全同意报盘中的内容,但又有意达成交易,为进一步洽商,便向对方提出新的条件,修改条件或其他要求,均称为还盘。
还盘是对卖方的原报盘的部分或全部拒绝。在还盘信中,买方可对报盘的某些条款提出不同意见。为了向卖方表明自己的立场,买方应阐明适当的理由,继而提出自己的条件。对买方的提议卖方可以接受或拒绝。如果拒绝,卖方可提出反还盘。这个过程可能有很多轮,直至最后成交或交易谈判失败。
还盘是对发盘的拒绝。还盘一经做出,原发盘即失去效力,发盘人不再受其约束。
还盘可以有很多轮直至成交或取消交易。在还盘时,重要的是清楚地陈述自己的观点,认真选词避免误解,这里可以参考报盘的规则。
还盘信结构如下:
1.感谢对方的报盘;(T h a n k i n g t h e r e a d e r f o r t h e i r q u o t a t i o n)
