Matching Pairs Stages of Negotiation Online version Match the stages of negotiation with the sentences from the conversation. by Irina Gavrilova 1 Clarification of proposal 2 Discussion 3 Suggestions of alternatives 4 Agreement 5 Proposal 6 New proposal 7 Counter-proposal Well, that's an interesting proposal, but €700 per day is far too low. €950 is nearer the mark. Let's think about how we can make this work. If we agree on a daily rate of €750 per head per day over six months, your company will receive €772000. We need to talk about fees. I take your point. We can live with that. Another possibility might be to have two rates: €650 for the programmes and €950 for the others. But have you considered the advantages of just one single flat rate? We suggest that we pay you €700 per head per day.
