"Sorry, Mr. Smith, the procurement officer is unable to meet with you
until
January 28. Yes, the due date for the bid is January 27. You said it
was
very important to meet with him?"
or
"Hi Phil, I had your bid written down as $38 apiece but I just got off
the
phone with your competitor and I'm wondering if I miswrote your bid,
wasn't
it actually $33.88 apiece?"
"Uh...yeah! Yes, that's right."
"Okay, I thought that was it, and that makes you low bid by $0.12.
Thanks
for the case of wine, by the way, that was very thoughtful."
