议价与利益有关,所以必然是商务活动中一个重要的环节。议价也就是还价的意思,也可称为还盘。一般情况下,买方的要求基本上卖方都是要满足的,但也不是所有的要求都要满足,例如价格方面,如果买方非要卖方降价的话,卖方就可以让买方增加购买的数量,也就是订货量决定给出的价格,而且这个价格也是有有效期的。就欧式报价来说,其常是先给出一个留有余地的价格,然后双方根据自己的需求、意向以及商贸规则等进行议价来促进最后的成交,这在他们看来是利于合作的好方法。例如卖方给买方一个价格,但是买方对这个有些异议,然后卖方就会同意通过其他方面给买方一些优惠以达成最后的合作,这样买方会认为获得了一个更低的价格,而卖方则仍然利润稳赚,在这样的基础上双方达成交易。
