A: Shall we begin to discuss the terms of insurance right now?
B: OK.
A: We have a deal on CIF price.It means that the insurance should be borne by you, right?
B: Certainly.The premium should be paid by us.All our export goods sold on CIF terms arc insured with the PICC.They provide many kinds of coverages of marine insurance, such as F.P.A., W.P.A., A.R.and so on.
A: What kind of coverage will you arrange for our order then?
B: Usually we']] only insure W.P.A.for this kind.
A: We hope you can cover the Packing Breakage Risk for us.
B: We can do that for you.But additional premium should be on your account.
A.We will pay that.So, please insure the consignment against W.P.A.and Packing Breakage Risk for 150% of invoice value.
B: I am sorry, we only can insure goods for 110% of the invoice value.For 150% , the extra premium will be borne by you.
A: Then we made a deal that we will insure this consignment against W.P.A.and Packing Breakage Risk for 150% of invoice value.Is there anything else about the insurance clause?

A: Hello, Mr.Kubat.I am glad to meet you here at the fair.
B: Likewise.Take a seat, please.How about a cup of tea?
A: Sure.Thank you.It seems your business is prosperous.There are many customers here.
B: Yes, it's not too bad.Our sales are going up year after year.And we still have a large potential production capacity.
A: Well, what do you think of choosing a commission representative or agent abroad to promote your sales?
B: That's a good idea.So far, we have several agents abroad.
A: We are willing to be your agent in Thailand for hand-held tools.What do you think?
B: That sounds good.
A : Then , what's your usual commission rate for your agents?
B: Usually, we give a commission of 3% to our agents.
A: 3% is too low, I think.You see, we have a lot of work to do in sales promotion such as advertising on radio or TV, printing booklets, leaflets, catalogues and so on.It all costs money.3% is not enough.
B: Don't worry.We'll allow you a higher commission rate if your sales score a substantial increase.
A: You mean to say.--
B: Now, if you sell US $2 million worth of hand-held tools annually, we can only allow 3% commission.If the annual turnover exceeds US $5 million, you can get 5% commission.What do you think of that?
A: It sounds OK.Then how do you pay the commission?
B: We may deduct the commission from the invoice value directly or remit it to you after payment.
A: All right.If it's okay, we would like to sign an agency agreement with you immediately.
B : Think it over.We hope to keep a good business relationship with you.
A: Thank you for your help.
