NEGOTIATION

So this is the price that i choose for the camp. It is a beautiful, quite, clean place. Suitable for honey moon, retreat, and for camp, because it's at the middle of no where. Not so good to mention the place. Some where in negeri sembilan. Privacy reserved ^_^

RM 90.00/head (accomodation+meals)

Accomodation RM 50.00/head
Meals RM 40.00/head : breakfast RM 5.00
lunch RM 15.00
noon tea RM 5.00
dinner RM 15.00

for student, and for a 2 days 1 night camp. They will feel this cos is very high and over their budget. Afterall, they come here not to have fun. It's a training camp, not a leisure camp. I feel like i have the responsibility, try to minimize their expenses to the lowest as i can. What to do?

Lunch and dinner seems unreasonable for camp participant since it might be targeted to foreign because they will cook various Malay's food. And as i mentioned, they are here to be trained. So i just cancelled everything from the meal package, only take the "breakfast set"which is RM 5.00/person (fried rice-because rice can last longer)...take it as lunch. For the breakfast itself, we, the organizing committee are going to prepare bread for them to do self service. After all the adjustment, so far we have

Accomodation: RM 50.00

Meal:

  • breakfast RM5.00
  • lunch RM 15.00
  • noon tea RM 5.00
  • dinner RM 15.00
PA system = RM 100/hour

2 small vans for 20 people each van to water fall @ 250/day = RM 500

assume dat we took 5 games for 2 days camp. (RM200/activity) 5x200= RM 1000

motivation seminar (4 session) RM 600

gOSH...
so only for the facilities, it's already RM 22oo needed. What im going to do?

PA system =RM100 --- apply from SAO free of charge
vans =RM500 --- apply for bus from GO RM10/head= RM400(under negotiation)
games =RM1000 --- own games 10 games (no budget)
seminar/talk=RM600 --- ask Arthur to talk (no budget)

Good news is INTIMA is giving subsidy from max till RM 10. especially for charity event or event that involve form 5 or form 6 students (as they are our target market). For this small type of training camp, who only being open to a particular group... after the negotiation, the treasurer agree to give RM 7 / head. Considered very high already, and the treasurer said that she will make it RM8 if we didn't get further discount from that particular resort. So 1 more revenue is 7x42= RM294. Thanks to Bala for that. So far, amount that already deducted are RM3564.

Maybe still can get more after the pending request being approved
  • pending bus status (i tried to request RM 5/head)
  • pending from the resort

so far they need to pay 50 for accomodation 15 for dinner+lunch+breakfast (prepared by us)+ bus RM 75; RM 70 cheaper than actual price that they need to pay; RM 145.

i didnt say that i am very good in negotiation, but i really put my effort to it. and i feel more and mroe like an aunty already >.<
