Explain how a counterproposal may be used to preserve a positive relationship when denying a request or when delivering bad news


By proposing an alternative to the action requested, the communicator denies the request while ensuring that the relationship will not suffer as a result. The counterproposal is an expression of goodwill, a willingness to help the receiver. In a letter denying credit, for instance, a counterproposal can let the customer know that you still value his or her business and that, as soon as credit history is established or improved, the customer may reapply for credit.
