A Supplier Offers You a Discount: Answer D
You are in Production Control. Planning on adding a porch
onto your house, you visit a lumberyard to get ideas and a
price. During the discussion, the sales manager says, "Oh, you
work for XYZ Company. They buy a lot from us, so I'm going to
give you a special discount." What do you do?
Answer D: If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably
is. Thank the salesman, but walk out.
Lockheed Martin's Comment: 0 points
Maybe you walked out prematurely. Ask question "C" first.
