Practise the standard verbs for negotiating a contract renewal well.
0 / 5 completed
1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the renewal conversation weeks before the contract actually expires, since a customer cornered by a looming deadline rarely negotiates from a comfortable position.'
We 'open a conversation' — the standard, simple collocation for initiating a renewal discussion early. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Waiting until the final week to raise a renewal can ___ the whole negotiation rushed, with neither side having real room to consider alternatives properly.'
We say a late start will 'leave' the negotiation rushed — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting time pressure. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the account's actual usage data into the renewal conversation, rather than pricing purely off the plan a customer happened to sign a year ago.'
We 'bring data' — the standard, simple collocation for using concrete evidence in a negotiation. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a modest discount for a longer commitment where it genuinely helps both sides, rather than treating list price as a fixed, non-negotiable number.'
We 'offer a discount' — the standard, simple collocation for proposing a price concession in a negotiation. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the final renewal terms in writing before the old contract lapses, so nobody's left relying on a verbal understanding once the deadline actually passes.'
We 'confirm terms' — the standard, simple collocation for finalising an agreement in writing. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
