Hello everyone!

Let’s look at some alternatives to using the word “if” when negotiating.

Using if:

We would agree to a 5% discount if you increase your order to 5,000 pieces.

Alternatives:

We would agree to a 5% discount provided you increase your order to 5,000 pieces.

We would agree to a 5% discount on condition that you increase your order to 5,000 pieces.

I’m afraid we can’t offer you a 5% discount unless you increase your order to 5,000 pieces.

I hope you found this useful.

All the best,

Derek
