CIPS Commercial Negotiation Sample Questions (Q162-Q167):

NEW QUESTION # 162
Which of the following would help build trust in a relationship?
* Mediation attendance
* Regular meetings
* Keep promises
* Coercion

A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1 and 4 only
C. 2 and 4 only
D. 2 and 3 only

Answer: D

Explanation:
Trust is built through consistent communication (e.g., regular meetings) and fulfilling commitments (keeping promises). Coercion erodes trust, while mediation is reactive and not a foundational element of trust-building.
Reference: L4M5 Commercial Negotiation 2nd edition (CORE), Section 1.2 - Developing Trust in Supplier Relationships

NEW QUESTION # 163
Which negotiation approach is focused on a win-win outcome?

A. Collective
B. Collaborative
C. Adversarial
D. Distributive

Answer: B

Explanation:
A collaborative negotiation approach is explicitly designed to achieve win-win outcomes, where both parties work together to maximise joint value. This approach is closely associated with integrative negotiation, emphasising trust, information sharing, and joint problem-solving. Distributive and adversarial approaches are win-lose, focusing on dividing value rather than creating it. "Collective" is not a recognised CIPS negotiation approach. Collaborative negotiation is particularly suitable where long-term relationships, shared objectives, or strategic partnerships are important.
Reference: CIPS L4M5 Commercial Negotiation (CORE), 2nd edition - LO 1.1: Integrative and collaborative negotiation approaches.

In this scenario, although SBL's spend claims large portion in suppliers' revenues, their draconian treatment will reduce SBL's attractiveness in supplier's perspective. SBL falls into Exploit quadrant. With exploitable customers, suppliers tend to 'milk' the customer and charge a high price to compensate for all the pain customer put on them.

NEW QUESTION # 166

A. Vendor ratings will be used
B. Arm's-length approach
C. Continuous dialogue with supplier
D. Pricing is the most important criterion
E. Total cost of ownership is the most important criterion

Answer: B,D

Explanation:
:
Professional buyers, when planning or engaging in negotiation with suppliers, should always be aware of where the intended and actual relationship with this supplier is positioned on the 'spectrum' or 'continuum' of commercial relationships. The relationship spectrum describes the range of commercial relationships between a buyer and supplier based on richness of communication, longevity and mutual dependence.
Timeline Description automatically generated

In the question, the contract is simple one-off (or spot buy), which means the relationship will likely to be more transactional. In such relationship, price is the most important criteria and buyer may adopt arm's-length approach.
