Ninguém constrói rela??es de longo prazo e parcerias reais com um fornecedor que n?o consegue ceder ou negociar mudan?as que possam ser necessárias, sendo importante dar visibilidade a ele que esse tipo de postura descredibiliza essa rela??o de confian?a e parceria e que coloca o longo prazo de novos negócios em cheque. Deve-se também ter escuta ativa para as raz?es do fornecedor, demonstrando que compreende os motivos do mesmo, tratando com empatia e importancias suas coloca??es, mas abrindo o leque para que ambos possam negociar um acordo.

Depending on #2, consider activating the backup option, as the refusing partner might not be the right fit to your company. 4. Debrief the situation, observing key elements and learnings of this occasion in prior to optimize the existing commercial governance, with the goal of mitigating the same risk in future negotiations.

I start by understanding their concerns and the reasons behind their refusal. It’s important to approach the conversation calmly and openly, showing a willingness to listen. I might explain why the modifications are necessary and how they benefit both sides, highlighting the value they bring to the deal. If the vendor remains firm, I consider offering compromises or alternative solutions that can meet both our needs without sacrificing the essential terms. The goal is to stay patient and find middle ground that works for both sides without escalating tension.
