The messages people put off
SayAlign was built by a sourcing broker who writes these every week. Each one below is a real shape of message, with what the product does to it.
Negotiating a price
You have a target and a walk-away point, and the second must never appear in the message.
Your notes110 euro teklif ettiler, 90 istiyoruz. en fazla 95, ama bunu söyleme.What goes outAsks for 90 with the volume as the reason. 95 does not appear.
Saying no to a supplier
The answer is no, and the reader has to leave knowing that — without a bridge burned.
Your noteshayır, bu fiyata yapamayız, pazarlık da yok.What goes outA clear decline, no "let\u2019s discuss", no thanks for an understanding they have not shown yet.
Chasing an invoice
Forty-five days late, two reminders ignored. The message has to be specific and unembarrassed.
Your notesfatura 4471, 12.500 euro, 45 gün gecikti. bu hafta ödenmezse siparişleri durduruyorum.What goes outInvoice number, amount and deadline preserved and checked. No apology for asking. No late fee you did not mention.
An angry client
They are wrong about some of it and right about some of it, and you have not investigated yet.
Your noteshaklı olduğu kısmı kabul et, ama hata bizde demeyi kabul etme. yarın öğlene kadar bulgu vereceğim.What goes outAcknowledges the frustration, admits nothing, commits only to what you committed to.
A buyer who writes in Polish
Your Polish is fine to read and slow to write. The reply should sound like it came from you.
What happensSelect their message, press Reply. The draft is in Polish. Your figures are checked across the language boundary — 1000 sztuk and 1,000 units are the same quantity.
Setting a limit with a colleague
No more messages after hours. Said once, clearly, without a paragraph of justification that invites a negotiation.
Your notesmesai dışında cevap vermeyeceğim, acil için telefon var. kırıcı olmasın.What goes outThe limit, the exception, and warmth — and nothing that reads as an apology for having a limit.
