The Negotiation screen follows the same layout as the Recommendation screen, representing each subscription on the account a separate row.

Relevancy

Relevancy is the average relevancy of the actions in the recommendation.

Commission

The commission is the amount of points a customer service representative earns if the Customers accepts this recommendation. The commission is higher for recommendations that are better for the business. The value of the budget is determined by the investment budget, which in turn is determined by the Budget supporting decision.

Cost

The customer service representative should keep the investment cost of the recommendation below this investment, as this means a good deal for the business. If the customer switches to a cheaper plan, the business gets less value from this customer.

By opening a subscription and choosing View more, the Negotiator allows you to find alternatives to the initial recommendation. For example, you can add an accessory that was not part of the original recommendation, or switch the recommended plan to a cheaper, or a more expensive one.
