I'm glad to have the opportunity of visiting your corporation. I hope to conclude some substantial business with you.
It's a great pleasure to meet you, Mr. Brown. I believe you have seen our exhibits in the showroom. May I know what particular items you're interested in?
I'm interested in your hardware. I'Ve seen the exhibits and studied your catalogues. I think some of the items will find a ready market in Canada. Here is a list of my requirements, for which I'd like to have your lowest quotations, C. I. F. Vancouver.
Thank you for your inquiry. Would you tell us the quantity you require so that we can work out the offers?
I'll do that. Meanwhile, could you give me an indication of price?
Here are our F. O. B. price lists. All the prices in the lists are subject to our confirmation.
What about the commission? From European suppliers I usually get a 3 to 5 percent commission for my imports. It's the general practice.
As a rule we don't allow any commission. But if the order is a substantial one, we'll consider it.
You see, but I do business on a commission basis. A commission on your prices would make it easier for me to promote sales. Even two or three percent would help.
That's something we can discuss later.
