Offering a secondary parking space, premium garage stall location, or storage locker without a direct cash price reduction.

The Negotiation Record (Negotiation)
BrokerOS provides a dedicated negotiations API (/api/leads/:leadId/negotiations) to track every offer round:
Ticket-Based Approval System (ApprovalRequest)
When a proposed price adjustment requires managerial authorization, sales executives submit a formal approval ticket:
- Targeted Assignment: The request is routed directly to the sales executive’s assigned manager (
managerId). - Threaded Communication (
ApprovalMessage): Managers and executives collaborate through an in-app messaging thread attached to the ticket, enabling discussions, counter-strategies, and document attachments. - Audit Tracking: The system maintains an unalterable history of who requested the concession, the justification provided, and the manager’s formal approval timestamp.
- Integration with Bookings: Once approved, the final agreed price and discount are linked directly to the confirmed
Bookingrecord.
