1.4. Explain any five (5) negotiating techniques that can be used to maximise benefits of relationship
for all parties. Answer in 3 -5 lines for each.
1. prepare the right way
There’s danger in over preparing or going about preparation with the wrong mindset of focus.
Novice negotiators often prep by doing hours of in depth research on their counterpart’s
industry, company philosophy, and personal history. You can learn the majority of what you
need to know simply by employing effective communication skills.
\
focus on influence. Influence isn’t dictated by who has objectively more to win or lose. Instead,
influence is earned throughout a negotiation by listening, using emotional intelligence, and
choosing the right communication style.
1.5. Explain five (5) basic Principles of negotiation. Answer in 3 – 5 lines for each.
1. gather your information.
Information is the foundation of effective value creation. Without knowing who our counterpart
is, it is almost impossible to establish any food negotiation points. We must learn who and how
that person/company we are negotiation with is. By knowing that, it will be easier to generate
rapport with them. It is also important to identify the parties goals and issues. We must be
aware of what issues are important for us and what issues are important for them. Also, we
must identify what are our and their positions, interests and priorities in the negotiation.
2. build relationships
Trust is essential for any conflict handling as well as in the value creation of negotiations.
However, trust doesn’t magically appear or has to do with chemical compatibility. It must be
built through relationships and even friendship. Like and project that is worth the effort,
building relationships takes time and dedication. We can start by discovering common
backgrounds and interests. For this matter, we can also include in the negotiation approach
team members that have shared interests with our counterpart. We shouldn’t forget that first
impressions are very important.
4. listen
When preparing for a negotiation, most of us will be focused on what we will say. However,
training ourselves to be food listener is also a great strategy. We must pay attention to the
verbal and no verbal communication happening before, during and after the negotiation. This
skill can always reveal better solutions for both parties.
\
5. take care of your target.
Target is what you think is reasonably possible to get our of a negotiation. However, the rule is
never reveal your target at the beginning of any negotiation, because your counterpart will
hardly agree with your first propose. For that reason, we should manage our first offers and
concessions carefully. We must remember that after the first offer, negotiators need to make
concessions because they enable the parties to move toward the zone of potential agreement
(ZOPA).
1.6. Explain five (5) stages in negotiation process. Answer in 3 – 5 lines for each.
1. preparation and planning
Before the start of negations, one must be aware of the conflict, the history leading to the
negotiation of the people involved and their perception of conflict, expectations from the
negotiation, etc.
Moreover before any negotiation takes place a decision need to be taken as to when and where
a meeting will take place to discuss the problem and who will attend.
\
other’s interests.
1.7. Explain the importance of incorporating input and feedback of colleagues and stakeholders into
negotiation and communicating these, with the results of negotiation, within appropriate
timeframes. Answer in 100 – 150 words.
As understanding stakeholders becomes more and more important for businesses, stakeholder
consultation will become a vital process to maximize success. Stakeholder consultation can be
used to evaluate reactions and to track the perceptions of a company’s activities, and ensure
collaboration and partnership with all stakeholders. The long term effectiveness of an
organization can depend on its relationships with stakeholders, ensuring commitment and but
in to any future strategies and challenges. This makes for a more informed organization that is
responsive to the need of all its users and stakeholders.
-enable more informed decision making
-lead to greater stakeholder satisfaction
-improves chances of project/initiative success
-promote open, two-way communication
1.8. Why should agreements be confirmed in a formal written contract, based on organisational
requirements? Answer in 50 – 100 words.
Contracts provide a written document that outlines the full understanding of the business
relationship and scope of the work so that no one can claim any misunderstandings later down
the road.
They specify exactly what rights are being purchased and what rights you are retaining.
They are binding and legally enforceable.
They protect both you and the client.
They stipulate how and when you get paid, what needs to trigger that payment, and what
recourses you have if the client stiffs you.
They minimize risk.
Never feel awkward about insisting a client works with a contract. It is a mark of
professionalism and should actually inspire confidence, knowing that you take your business
seriously.
1.9. List any five (5) stakeholders from whom approval, permission and/or signatures must be
obtained before a formal agreement can be entered.
1. government
2. contractors & subcontractors
3. top management
4. external customers

1.10. Why it is important to evaluate and act on the advice from specialist. List any three (3) other
legal requirements that impacts negotiations and agreements where organisation commonly
seek specialist advice. Answer in 50 – 100 words.
There are legal obligations for most small businesses. They will vary depending on the nature of
business.

1.11. Explain any four (4) ways to proactively seek, review, and act upon information needed to
maintain, build and nurture sound business relationships through regular contacts and using
effective interpersonal and communication styles. Answer in 3 – 5 lines for each.
1. be authentic
Be who you are and accept others as they are. It’s easy to create a false Persona, especially
online, but that is not the way to start a relationship and short lived when we start qualifying
people ans companies. Find people and companies you fell a natural connection and ease of
communication with and things you both have in common. the authenticity of connecting
personality, beliefs and point of view can accelerate relationships.
\
3. get more personal
If you really want to get to know people, ask them to go for coffee so that you can talk more
personally, one on one. Be willing to share experiences, ideas, points of view and simply learn
more about each other’s story, family and professional history.
1.12. Explain how an organisation can ensure that the agreements made during negotiation are
honoured and complied with agreed terms. Write your answer in 50 – 100 words.
Behaving ethically
Contracted staff involved in contract management will usually have clauses built in to their
employment contract ensuring they comply with commonwealth laws and policies,
declare conflicts of interest and not act fraudulently. The contracted staff member may be
in breach of thir contract if they do no uphold these obligations.
Ethical behaviour:
-ensures transparency and accountability in a procurement process
-gives suppliers confidence in their dealings with the government
-can reduce the cost of managing risks associated with fraud, theft, corruption and other
improper behaviour
-supports confidence in public administration
-the need to uphold the APS values and code of conduct
-the need to achieve the contract outcomes
-the need to maintain a positive working relationship with the supplier
As a contract manager, you should ensure all individuals materially involved with the
management of a contract make a conflict of interest declaration and update it on a
regular basis, particularly for longer term contracts. Ensure you get an update or as
required by your entity’s accountable authority instructions or other obligations. There
may be clauses in your contract that require supplier personnel to identify, disclose and
appropriately manage any conflicts of interest.
\
1.13. Explain the meaning of performance indicator and explain any two (2) performance indicators
that can be measured in hospitality industry. Answer in 3 – 5 lines for each.
A key performance indicator is a measurable value that demonstrates how effectively a
company is achieving key business objectives. Organizations use KPIs at multiple levels to
evaluate their success at reaching targets.
- ADR: average daily rate
Measured simply as the average price paid per room on a given day. Works well in isolation as
an ongoing performance metric. The ADR is most useful when compared to previous
periods or seasons to identify performance.
Average daily rate = total room revenue / total rooms occupied
1.14. Explain why adjustments to the original agreement, in consultation with relevant
customers/suppliers, is sometimes required in 100-150 words. List any three (3) ways to share
information with appropriate colleagues
Even the best plans can go wrong.
The same applies to agreements and arrangements, so there will be instances where
adjustments in consultation with the customer or supplier need to be made from time to time, in
order to achieve the mutually desired outcomes originally agreed on.
This section addresses adjustments which may be made to agreements. Making adjustments in
effect making adjustments alters the original agreement.
This may necessitate alterations to be written into a new or revised contract, and signed by both
sides.
1. deals which required a legal approach in the first place, will also require the services of a
legal advisor when changes are being made.
Your approach to the issue of changes must be the same as your approach to the initial
negotiation you need to be flexible, polite, friendly, and aware of the facts, know the revised
outcome you want to achieve, aware of the constraints and parameters.
2. in lots of ways, factoring in adjustments throughout the period of the formal agreements is
very similar to entering fresh negotiations. Never make changes to existing arrangements,
agreements or formal contracts without consulting the other party.
3. clarify revised arrangements so there is genuine, mutual agreement and understanding.
Determine if extra charges need to be made to reflect the revised agreement
Advise others about the revised arrangements so they can plan and deliver as required.
\
1.15. Explain the following commercial context for business relationship in hospitality industry.
Answer in 3 – 5 lines.
Hospitality is not only restaurant or hotel. To keep hospitality industry, we need many
factors that is structure. The hospitality industry is made of food or equipment supplier,
human resource, finance. And the industry can also divide in different ways. Commercial
or service sector, profit making or working within a budget, Restricted customers or
open to the general public. To keep hospitality industry, we need tourism industry or
travel industry for more customers. It is called interrelationships. Each industry can get
create a synergy effect.
b. Sources of supply
Hospitality suppliers are food and beverage products producers, furniture producers,
water and energy suppliers, complimentary producers. They provide almost everything
the industry needs. Some suppliers are more professional for their industry such as hotel
bar tap beer supplier or disposal cup or plate suppliers.
Sources of supply distribute their goods for hotel or restaurant, then hotel or restaurant
distribute the goods with their service for customers. We call it distribution. Supplier
advertise or send salesman to sell their goods and hotel or restaurant try their best to
sell their food or service for customers. It is marketing networks.
d. Professional networks
Professional networking means that to build professional relationships with skilled
worker. By meeting and building relationship, we can get more experience and find
more people are earlier in their careers than us. We can get more confidence and tips to
work this industry from them.
Think of the situation as if you were a defence lawyer and try to prepare for the negotiation as
if you were the other party then prepare your case better. Try to work out what they might say,
what they might present as their point of view, and how they may try to pitch their case. In
negotiation you will need to be especially aware of, and use:
Listening skills: particularly active listening
Questioning techniques: open and rhetorical questions are useful
Body language: be aware of both yours and theirs
Assertiveness: this is not to be confused with aggression
Feedback: need to note the feedback you receive, and be aware of the feedback
You are sending: remember it is feedback that turns a monologue into a dialogue
Timing: be aware it is not only what you say and the way you say it, but it may also
Be important when you say it: if you hold out a while before conceding, the other party will feel
they have achieved more than if you conceded straightaway
1.17. Explain key roles, features and inclusion of a contract in 25 – 50 words each.
-key roles: in business, contracts are important because they outline expectation for both
parties, protect both parties if those expectations aren’t met and lock in the price that will be
paid for services.
- features: a contract has six important elements so that it will be valid which is offer,
acceptance, consideration, intention to create legal relation, certainty and capacity. If the main
elements are not in contract, it would be an invalid contract.
- inclusion: inclusions are a list of all the items in the house that a purchaser will expect to
remain in the property when they take ownership
1.18. Explain any three (3) different types of formal commercial agreements and contracts an
organisation participates on. Answer in 3 – 5 lines for each.
1.Written contracts
Written contracts provide more certainty for both parties than verbal contracts. They clearly set
out the details of what was agreed.
Matters that can be set out in a contract include: materials, timeframes, payments
\
A procedure to follow in the event of a dispute
It’s much safer to have something in writing than to rely on someone’s word. A written contract
will give you more certainty and minimise your business risks by making the agreement clear
from the outset.
2. verbal contracts
Many contracting arrangements use verbal contracts, which only work well if there are no
disputes. A handshake agreement may still be a contract and may (though often with difficulty)
be enforced by a court. However, verbal contracts can lead to uncertainty about each party’s
rights and obligations. A dispute may arise if you have nothing in writing explaining what you
both agreed to do.
1.19. Explain the following components of contract law in 3 – 5 lines for each.
a. Terms and obligations of contract
b. Methods of contractual agreement
c. Exclusion clauses
d. Dispute resolution clause
e. Termination of contracts
a. terms and obligations of contract
contract obligations are those duties that each party is legally responsible for in a contract
agreement. In a contract, each party exchanges something of value, whether it be a product,
services, money, etc. this may result in a damages award to reimburse the non breaching party
for their economic losses.
c. exclusion clauses
these types of clauses operate to exclude or restrict the rights of a party. For example, if a party
to a contract wishes to limit its liability in the event that it breaches the contract, it will usually
include an exclusion clause limiting the amount of damages that the other party can claim to a
specified total.
e. termination of contracts
on termination of a contract, the obligation of t he parties to further performance is discharged,
while any rights which have accrued prior to termination remain. The innocent party will have a
right to damages and one or both parties may have a right to restitution.

For student acting as colleague: suggest alternative options to help the negotiation, suggest

suggest amendments to contract to stipulate that state this task is being administered in, has
oversight in case of legal proceedings.
Jina : Hello John, finally we can meet. It is really nice to meet you.
John : Nice to meet you, Jina. Thank you for having me here to discuss your business.
Jina : I am thank you. Please take a seat.
John : Thank you.
Jina : How are you?
John : Good. Good. Thanks to you. How are you?
Jina : Good. Thank you. Today, I would like to explain our contract details. Could you please
give me 2 minutes to explain detail?
John : Absolutely.
\
Jina : Thank you. If we make contract, contractor should pick up dirty laundry at 1 pm and
return clean ones at 1 pm the following day. Unfortunately, our business is hotel business so
it is also should be available at weekend and public holiday as well. Is it okay with you?
John : Oh, I am expecting that we have to work weekends and holidays because we also have
a lot of hotel laundry service experience.
Jina : Good for you. Regarding contract period, frankly speaking, although I trust your
company and ability and also your company chose us with trust. And I am sure our hotel and
your company are good at business and same vision. It is customer’s satisfaction is most
important thing. But sometimes, we may have different working way or different vision, not
wrong way nor wrong vision. And also, we want long and stable relationship with partners
once we contract. The reason why I explain too much… is that our 1 st contract period would
be 6 months. Next contract can be longer because after 6 months later, we have real trust
and we know each other well. I would like to hear your opinion with that.
John : That was not our company expected. Because normally, we contract yearly. Regarding
contract period, I also have to further check with our head manager.
Jina : Yes, it is only 1 st time contract period. Next one can be different. Please understand our
side.
John : Yes, I totally understand your side. But our company also have own policy so I have to
check one more time. You can also understand my side.
Jina : Absolutely. I think we already understood each other. But companies… haha.
John : You’re right.
Jina : Thank you for understanding. The last thing is… always important thing as you know. It
is price. We are willing to pay as much as market price. Could I ask how much you think for
this?
John : We’ve been doing a lot of business with hotel and we always get same price it is $2.2
per Kg.
Jina : That’s great. We do not need to negotiate price. It is first time to accept price without
negotiation. How great start we have!
John : Thank you Jina, I am very happy to give you satisfy price.
Jina : Good. Everything is going to great. Please just make sure that laundry should be clean
and well pressed I am pretty sure you won’t have much problem with that.
2.4. Use various negotiation techniques to maximise benefit of relationship for both parties. Proper
professional and organisational protocol should be followed. During negotiation, incorporate
feedback and input from colleague where appropriate. The negotiation should cover following:
a. Rate of laundry
c. Contract period
d. Payment schedule
\
e. Compensation / penalty in case of delay service
Jina : I am pretty sure that your company is very professional and skilled. But there should be mistake
anywhere. And I also understand everyone makes mistake. I made a mistake all the time. However,
our guests come from long distance away, we can’t make them feel disappoint. So at least we have to
try our best to reduce mistake. Shall we make minimum penalty for our tiny mistake? Because if
there is no rule, few workers break the promise and hard workers feel unfair.
\
John : I think that’s a good idea. That arouse cautions for everyone.
Jina : Thank you for understanding John. Here’s the rule. In case of delay service, we will claim 3% of
deduction for total amount the day. Hotel business is open 24 hours and every hour is very
important, so we will claim based on how many hours late. It looks very harsh, but you know,
without your company’s service, we can’t give any service for our customers.
John : I totally understand hours penalty but please give flexibility time. It is 1 hour. Can you accept
1st 1 hour delay? Because 1 hour delay is not mistake it would be uncontrolled condition such as car
accident or traffic jam.
Jina : Oh, I totally understand uncontrolled situation. However, From 2pm, we have to receive our
guest so 2 pm is not acceptable. Moreover, if we accept 1 hour exception, due time could be 2 Pm
because there is no penalty.
John : I got your point. Let’s keep 1 pm due and delay claim hourly.
Jina : and also if there is damaged laundry, we will deduct $4.4/Kg for damaged laundry because we
can’t pay for unused laundry due to damage and also we have to pick up and put it back again. We
work twice. So I think we have to deduct twice /Kg. What do you think?
John : Normally, in case of dirty laundry, we don’t charge for dirty laundry and next laundry for dirty
one also can’t be charged. I think you and I on the same way.
Jina : That’s great and it make sense. And penalty is not only for your company. For fair partnership,
we also can get penalty in case of delays payment.
John : How thoughtful. Our company also have policy for delay payment. But it is hard to charge
payment delay surcharge for customer.
Jina : Payment is most important thing for great partnership and long relationship. Partners should
happy so our hotel can be happy then finally our customers are happy!
Jina : So payment will be complete on fortnightly Wednesday. And payment delay claim percentage is
same with service delay we applied. But payment is not matter of time so you can claim for delay
payment daily.
John : That’s right. Our wage day is fortnightly Thursday and your payment is related to our staff
wage. So daily base claim will be reasonable.
Jina : The last one.. we will send Service performance indicator report on the 1 st day of every month
regarding the before month service. Everything on the service report is that we discussed already. It
is on time delivery and pick up and damaged laundry percentage. That’s all. Our company policy is
\
that partnership’s service satisfaction should meet 95%. I am sure of that you may get 100%
satisfaction.
John : That would be great. We do not have enough time to review our service. We will refer for
better service.
Jina : Thank you. It would be great way for both to provide tremendous service for our guests.
I will prepare contract document soon and will send it to you by email. Everything based on our
discussion we’ve just have. So please keenly see contract once I send you. Then please submit
completed contract to me by hard copy and soft copy for each. Is this your email address? Right?
John : Right. I will get back to you as soon as possible with completed contract. I am looking forward
to it. Thank you.
Jina : Thank you for today. It was really nice to talk with you. John.
2.5. Communicate the result of negotiation via email to appropriate colleagues and stakeholders
/contractor (Trainer/Instructor) after negotiation is completed.
Today, I have an interview with cleaning company A. In charge manager, John came to our office.
3. (pending) Contract period : John understand 6 month contract for the 1 st time but he also
need further confirmation internally.
5. Compensation : 3% delay service claim hour basis / $4.4/Kg deduct for damage laundry/ 3%
payment delay claim daily basis
6. Service report : I gave the notice of that service performance indicator report will be sent on
the 1st day of every month for the before month and it should be 95% satisfaction.
\
Except contract period, everything met our expectation. And I’m sure of that contract period will also
meet our requirement because John understand our stance.
Please check above the result, let me know if I need further discussion with John. I can talk to him.
Thanks,

Part C:
Scenario
Assume the laundry service provider is working as per the contract. On Thursday afternoon, there
were three chair covers which had been stained with wine after being laundered and one curtain
from the kitchen had a tear.
2.9. Call the laundry service provider to seek and review the concern and try to maintain sound
business relationships. Inform him that the agreed performance indicator on cleanness has not
been met. Document feedback below.
Jina : Great. I have something to discuss with you? Do you have a minute?
Jina : I am really happy these days because of your great laundry service. We really satisfy your
service and on time pick up and delivery.
Jina : The thing is that we received laundry on Thursday, but there are three chair cover which had
been stained with wine and tear kitchen curtain after being laundered.
Jina : you know John, everyone makes mistake and I think that wouldn’t be a big problem but it’s
been only 1 week we start business. Everyone is carefully concerning laundry service. Please make
the first good impression.
John : I totally agree with that. I should have concerned more than usual.
Jina : Furthermore, we can’t check all laundry condition one by one so if customer use dirty one, they
never come back here.
John : I am really sorry about that. I will keep that in mind. However, Jina. Kitchen curtain is quite old
one so it may have damaged anytime soon. So it is not relate to our service. Please make sure that
old laundry standard. If there is tear on not that old laundry, we are willing to pay that.
\
Jina : Thank you for understanding John and I am really understanding old laundry. I will check with
our collegues, then make adjustment for that.
2.10. Based on the feedback and consultation with contractor, make adjustments to the agreement
and share the information with appropriate colleagues and stakeholders via email.
Adjustments should take into account the fact that a small percentage of laundry will be
damaged in the course of business and that goods older than X year and/or washed X amount
of times previously may sustain damage. Ensure accurate performance indicators/measures
around this issue are incorporated into the agreement.
Regarding damaged laundry we found on Thursday, I’ve spoken with John a while ago.
The thing is our kitchen curtain is 10 years old so it may have damaged anyway. John and I think this
is not related to laundry service. We have to contain an exceptional clause for old laundry.
In case of more than 10 years old laundry, we don’t charge if it has damaged by laundry service.
Please be advised that I will revise this clause on the contract. And will send it to you.
Thanks,
2.11. Call the contractor to thank them and share the updated contract. Use effective interpersonal
and communication styles to nurture the relationship. During the call, talk about cooperative
promotions to market each other clients. The contractor can promote the hotel in its outlets
while the hotel can recommend the contractor to other hotels with in its association.
Jina : Hi John, This is Jina from The Red Road Hotel. Can I talk to you second?
Jina : Good. I reported about the old laundry exceptional clause for my manager. And I will revise our
contract.
John : oh, thank you. Can I ask the content of adding clause?
\
Jina : Yes, sure. I was about to tell you. The clause is that In case of more than 10 years old laundry,
we don’t charge if it has damaged by laundry service. Is that okay with you?
John : Of course Jina. I am really appreciate for your help. If I work with you forever, I think we can
keep this business forever.
Jina : haha. Good to hear that, John. Thank you for understanding. so I will send the amend contract
by email then please double check the contract and sign on it and send back it to me.
John : Got it. I will wait your email Jina. Thank you again.

Scenario:
You are a manager at The Red Road hotel in Melbourne, looking after the logistics and marketing
team as provided in the scenario of UAT2.
You are at a social networking function when you overhear one of the guests talking about plans to
work with a hotel to provide lunch box services to a school on a daily basis.
Part A:
3.1 Approach her to verify if a lunch box delivery service provider has already been decided upon
and if there is any chance that you can help her. Establish a relationship with the prospective
client with effective communication skills and techniques to build business relationships.
Jina : Could you excuse me? Hello, my name is Jina and I work at The Red Road hotel in
Melbourne.
Jina : I didn’t mean to overhear, but I am really interested in your lunch box service. Do you have
a minute to talk about it?
\
Jina : Now our hotel is seeking a way to give surprise for our customers in a different way. And
our marketing team is working for that. I think we can make your school will be surprise. Do you
have any specific hotel you want work with?
Lucy : No, not that specific status. It just came out the idea only few days ago and I review my
idea by myself and with others to get better idea.
Jina : Great to hear that. I love your way to prepare. We also don’t have specific plan for the
lunch box service idea, but it would be great to start lunch box service for your school.
Jina : No worries Lucy. We will offer much cheaper than dine in price. We can take care of that.
Jina : Oh great. so could I ask your email address? I can send it to you with more details.
Lucy : That’s right. Please give your email address, I will send my draft plan first.
Jina : That would be great. Lucy. I am looking forward to it. Here’s my email address.
Lucy : It was nice to meet you Jina. Thank you for asking.
3.2 Maintain the contact with the lady via emails to thank her and show willingness to work together
for the prospect work.
a. First email the prospective client, thanking her for the opportunity and looking
forward to working together, as well as, any further additional information.
Dear Lucy,
This is Jina from The Red Road Hotel in Melbourne. We met early in this morning at
networking party. It was really nice to meet you and talk with you. I am really
impressed with your passion and keen on details.
I’ve talked with my colleague about lunch box service. Everyone likes it. They really
happy to share our food for more people in a easier way.
Thank you for the opportunity to work with you and I am really looking forward to
work with you. If you are planning to send any more details, could you please send it
\
by next Monday? Because I would like to share it with our colleague on weekly
meeting as a priority.
Regards,
Jina Kim
Dear Lucy,
Thank you for your prompt reply. I’ve checked your draft plan for our great journey.
Let it begin.
Our hotel’s restaurant only serves Authentic Australian food and Asian fusion. So you
can select menu on these restaurant. For more detail menu, you can find web site
below link :
www.theredroadhotel.com.au/restaurant_menu
Our restaurant menus are loved by every local family. Especially, steak sandwich,
wonton soup and fish and chips are best. You can make it main menu to attract our
existing customers.
To be more specific plan, we’d better meet and discuss our details to proceed our
plan perfectly. And I would like to introduce you to everyone in our F&B staff. You will
be our hero. Every Tuesday and Thursday are free after lunchtime, so please leave
your available time by email. I will arrange our first meeting.
Regards,
Jina Kim
\
The Red Road Hotel, Melbourne
Dear Lucy,
Thank you for sending your more details. We are so fast! We can launch great service
anytime soon.
I have few questions regarding lunch menu items.
1. Our vegetarian menu includes egg, honey, milk and cheese. It is for
lacto-ovo-vegetarian menu.
2. Orange, apple, avocado juice for fresh juice menu. Others are
provided by bottle.
3. For winter menu, we offer wonton soup. For summer menu, we also
offer cold noodle.
Regarding price arrangement, of course, it shouldn’t be more expensive than dine in
price but not too much cheaper. Normally, market price is $10-$15 for lunch box, but
we offer hotel chef’s food, so that would be more than $15.
Hope it will help you with all this information.
Please feel free to ask me anything.
Regards,
Jina Kim
These emails will need to all be printed and given to your trainer. Each email should be
written in a professional manner, addressed appropriately and in no more than 150-200
words each.
Part B:
3.3 Assume that the school you approached has agreed to work with your hotel and wants further
negotiations.
\
Conduct a negotiation meeting with the customer.
For the negotiation meeting, your instructor / trainer will act as the customer and one student
will act as a colleague in the negotiation.
Requirements:
Minimum of 75 lunch boxes should be ordered per day. If the number of boxes ordered
is less than 75, extra 10% charge will be applied to each box.
Each food box will contain a mix of 2 non-vegetarians and 1 vegetarian item with 1
seasonal fruit and a juice.
For vegetarians, 3 vegetarian items, 1 seasonal fruit and a juice will be available.
For above configurations, the cost price is $10 a box at 75 boxes. You need to sell more
than this for the deal to be commercially viable.
Other:
Can reduce price if 1 food item is reduced.
Can provide different food combination on each day for a week.
Contract period should be for a minimum of 3 months.
For student acting as colleague: suggest alternative options to help the negotiation. Document
negotiation notes below.
Jina : Hello Lucy, Good to see you again. How are you?
Lucy : Hello Jina, Great. How are you?
Jina : Thank to you, it has been great these days. I am looking forward to our journey.
Lucy : Me too. Please let it begin!
Jina : We really happy to offer lunch box service. We try our best to prepare and would like to
most fresh, best delicious and fantastic food for your school. To be that, we have minimum order
qty per day, which is 75 lunch boxes. Because we can give the cheaper price than dine in price in
case of more than 75 lunch boxes. Otherwise we lose our profit, so extra 10% charge will be
applied to each box in case of less than 75.
Lucy : We have enough people to buy it but I am not sure how many people will be order at the
first time because it is also our first time to order hotel lunch box. So could we please make
minimum qty from 1 month later?
Jina : Oh, is it your first time? Yes I understand you can’t catch how many people will order,
however, we also can’t prepare if less than 75, because we will hire more staff to prepare lunch
box service. Then we definitely lose our profit.
Lucy : Ok, I will think about that. If you provide delicious menu, 75 boxes don’t matter with us.
Jina : That’s right. I am very confidence with that. No worries about it. Can I explain more detail
for menu?
Lucy : Please do.
\
Jina : Each food box will contain a mix of 2 non-vegetarians and 1 vegetarian item with 1 seasonal
fruit and a juice. For vegetarians, 3 vegetarian items, 1 seasonal fruit and a juice will be available.
If you reduce any 1 food item, we can reduce price as well.
And of course, this might be a reason you chose us … that we can provide different food
combination on each day for a week.
Lucy : so how much that would be?
Jina : 3 items with 1 seasonal fruit and a juice choice, that would be $18 based on 75 boxes.
Lucy : That’s quite expensive.
Jina : That’s right. It is more expensive than normal lunch box. However, we get fresh food from
hotel food supplier and our head chef prepare this lunch box. So it can’t be same price with
casual dining lunch box.
Lucy : That make sense… Please give more time to think about the price.
Jina : As I mentioned, we can reduce price if you reduce 1 menu.
Lucy : That would be a way.. because 3 items could be heavy on lunch for some people. I should
ask more people about it.
Jina : That’s good idea. And the last thing is that minimum service contract period should be 3
months because we hire more people based on your contract. Please give time to arrange lunch
box service for you.
Lucy : To be honest with you, I expected 6 months contract and that is quite long so I wanted 3
month contract. I agree for it.
Jina : Great! Thank you, Lucy.
3.4 Use various negotiation techniques to maximise the benefit of the relationship for both parties.
Proper professional and organisational protocols should be followed. During the negotiation,
incorporate feedback and input from colleagues where appropriate. The negotiation should
cover the following:
e. Contract period
f. Payment schedule
g. Quality requirement
\
j. Late fee / penalty in case school delays to pay
List out the negotiated items in the template provided under task 2 and 2.3.
Jina : by the way, we will deliver lunch box by 11:30 am. Is that okay with you?
Lucy : it is little bit early because our lunch time starts 12:30 pm. Can you make it 12:00 pm?
Jina : Yes we can. To make it later than 11:30 doesn’t matter with us. we will deliver 12 pm as you
requested.
\
Jina : Yes I would. For our mistake. In case of delay in service, we will give 10% discount for the day of
late and if there is issue with food item, we will return $36 (twice) per issue item box.
Jina : As you know, payment is most important thing everywhere. So our company policy has penalty
for late payment. Would you accept this?
Jina : 3% surcharge per delay days. We expect that payment will be made on fortnightly Thursday.
Lucy : Our finance team never late but sometimes bank problem may occur late payment. We can’t
control bank. Please make exceptional case for bank problem.
Jina : Okay, if there is proof of on time payment, we will not charge for it.
Jina : Thank you Lucy. The last thing is that we are planning to survey about our service at your
school every month. Is that Okay with you? It is for better service.
3.5 Communicate the result of the negotiation via email to the appropriate colleagues and
stakeholders /customer (Trainer/Instructor) after the negotiation is completed.
I had a meeting with Lucy today regarding school lunch box service.
\
seasonal fruit and a juice.
For vegetarians, 3 vegetarian items, 1 seasonal fruit
and a juice
I offer $18 per box, Lucy is concerned about the price. She will let me know the result. If she does not
satisfy the price, I would reduce by $16 per box.
Others are as above table. If you have any question or more comments, please let me know.
Thanks,
Jina

aspects of formal agreements from customer and stakeholders present in the meeting. Use the

3.7 Your trainer/assessor will act as a specialist who you will need to hold discussions with, regarding
specialist advice for the contract. Assume your trainer/assessor is a business advisor.
Lisa : Hi Jina, I’ve checked AAA school lunch box service contract. Can I give some comment for
it?
Jina : Of course! Any comment is welcome.
Lisa : In case of less 75 boxes, they may skip the day of lunch box. It would lose our profit more
because of MOQ. So how about set new price in case of less than 75 order?
Jina : Wow, that would be great. Better than never.
Lisa : so we set each price range. 65-74 is $19 and 55-64 is $20. Actual minimum order is 55
because less than 55, it is really minus profit.
Jina : got it. I will ask the school. Thank you for your help.
\
Lisa : Thank you.
3.8 Sign the contract to confirm the contract between two parties.
Part C:
3.9 Assume that is the 2nd week of catering to the school and that, based on prior agreement,
payment should be today (Friday). You have called the liaison officer for this program at the
school, to discuss any relevant feedback relating to the current service, which is within the scope
of your individual responsibilities. As part of this call, you need to discuss when payment will be
taking place, for the current services rendered. Finally discuss the addition of the new clause, put
forward by your specialist business advisor.
Eric : Hello, this is Eric from finance team. How can I help you?
Jina : Hello Eric, This is Jina from The Red Road Hotel which is the company of lunch box service.
Eric : Oh, Red Road Hotel! Thank you for giving us great lunch every day.
Jina : I am sorry to push you but the thing is that today we expect that payment will be made but we
can’t find yet. I would like to check with you.
Eric : Let me check… we already made payment a while ago. Please wait for few more hours. You can
find it soon.
Jina : Ok, at least I checked you already did. That helps a lot.
Eric : good.
Eric : sure.
Jina : Your school agreed to order minimum 75 but we would like to offer better idea. In case of less
75 boxes, how about set new price?
\
Jina : We set each price range. 65-74 is $19 and 55-64 is $20. Actual minimum order is 55 because
less than 55, it is really minus profit for us.
Eric : That would be fine with us. I don’t want miss lunch box due to minimum order.
3.10 Based on the feedback and consultation with the customer, make adjustments to the
agreement, have the customer sign the adjusted agreement and share the information with the
appropriate colleagues via email. (The signed copy of this document should be handed to your

Dear Lisa,
Following your comments, I offer the flexible price range for minimum order.
I will get back to you as soon as I get revised contract from customer.
Thanks,
Jina

and communication styles to nurture the relationship. During the call, talk about cooperation for
\
utilising networks for marketing and provide positive review in the company Facebook page and
company website.
Jina : Oh if so, please give comment or review or any opinion on our website? Or facebook
anywhere. I would like to share with others for better service.

thank you for sharing that.
