  • It is required to be equipped with 3 certified engineers

The offensive and defensive strategies of contract negotiation

A certain enterprise in Jiangsu, through stepped clauses, reduced the annual purchase volume from $3 million to $1.8 million and still obtained the exclusive agency. The key negotiation points include:

• Market protection clause: Clearly define a non - competition range of 50 kilometers

• Spare parts turnover monitoring
  • The inventory of core components should not be less than 150% of the average annual consumption

• Quarterly equipment health inspection system
• Customer classification management system
  • Class A customers are equipped with exclusive technical consultants

The essence of the agency right competition in 2025 is the competition of value creation ability. Only by establishing a technology - empowered service system and deeply binding with the manufacturers development strategy can we continuously obtain high - quality agency resources in the fierce competition.
