I’m a bit confused because I thought strictly following policies was key, but maybe that’s not always the best approach in negotiations?

I remember a practice question where we discussed the importance of empathy in negotiations, so I feel like option A makes sense.

Ah, this is a tricky one. I want to make sure I'm following the right policies, but I also don't want to just pass the buck to my supervisor. I'll think I'll go with option A and see if I can find a way to negotiate that works for both of us.

Transferring the customer to a supervisor if they disagree seems like a bit of a cop-out. I think the best approach is to try to understand their needs and find a mutually beneficial solution, so I'll go with option A.

Oh, transferring the customer to a supervisor? That's the 'let someone else deal with it' approach. Not a fan.
