Details about the role:
Negotiation Scenario - Supplier Representative
You represent Beta, the second largest cardboard manufacturer in the area. You pride yourself on excellent products and the ability to respond to customer demands. You're under a lot of pressure to grow your business, as Acme, the top dog in your industry, just took a big contract with Walmart that you bid on and lost. The community and your management team are aware of this big business deal, and you'd really like to take a win. You believe John Doe, Inc. may be a good customer if you can win some or all of their business over from Acme. Corrugated Cardboard (part #4123) is a fairly standard item in the industry.

-Your products are entirely made in the US, and your company just invested in new machine that helps reduce the cost.

-Lead time is 3 business days for orders under 5,000 quantities; 4 business days for quantities 5,000-10,000.
