In sales, you are meeting with a client that wants your product or service and you want to sell it, the only thing to argue is price.
I wish that was the case... in sales you're just as often arguing with people that don't have particular interest in your product, and argumenting that they should and why, and when you get them to that point, why they shouldn't go to a competitor.
The cases may be different, but the process is pretty much the same. It's also the basis on which any new diplomatic relationship builds.
