How many chairs are you thinking of buying today?

Bonne réponse:

I’d like to buy ten of these chairs because I’m furnishing a dining area. Since it’s a larger order, I was wondering if you offer any kind of discount. It would really help me stay within my budget, and I think it could be fair for both of us.

Why do you think we should give you a discount?

Bonne réponse:

Buying in bulk usually lowers the cost for the customer, and I think it also helps the store. You’ll sell many items at once, and I won’t be shopping around at other stores. It feels like a win-win situation where both sides benefit.

What kind of discount would you consider reasonable?

Bonne réponse:

If possible, I’d like around 10% off the total price. That way, it feels like a meaningful saving for me but still good value for the store. With that discount, I would be ready to finalise the purchase today.

What if we could give you free delivery instead of a price discount?

Bonne réponse:

Free delivery is definitely useful, but for me the main issue is the overall cost. If possible, I would prefer an actual discount on the chairs. Still, free delivery would be a nice bonus if we can combine both options.

If we agree on a discount, will you definitely complete the purchase today?

Bonne réponse:

Yes, if we can agree on a reasonable discount, I’ll buy all ten chairs right now. It makes sense to finalise the deal today so I don’t have to keep searching elsewhere. Having a good price would give me the confidence to complete the order immediately.
