The board meeting started with a review of the quarterly report, which showed a significant increase in revenue. "We should renegotiate the terms with our main supplier," suggested the CFO, "since our competitor just launched a similar product at a lower cost."
The CEO proposed expanding into international markets. "Let's align our strategies across departments before we present this to stakeholders," she said. The team agreed to loop in the legal department and circulate meeting minutes afterward, with a follow-up call scheduled for the following week.

A second reading, a bit longer. Read it and answer the questions below.
Sofia's team needed to renegotiate a contract with their main supplier after costs increased. Before the call, she asked her colleague to run the numbers so they'd know exactly how much room they had to negotiate.
During the call, the supplier tried to push back the timeline for better pricing, but Sofia held firm. “Let's think outside the box — what else can you bring to the table besides a lower price?” she asked. In the end, they agreed on a slightly higher price but with faster delivery, which kept the department in the black for the quarter.
1. Why did Sofia's team need to renegotiate?
2. What did Sofia ask her colleague to do before the call?
3. What did the supplier try to do?
4. What did Sofia ask the supplier for?
5. What was the final result?
