Recommended Spoken Script
"We understand your standard production line run is 10,000 units. For our initial validation batch, we propose a 2,500-unit run with a 15% unit price surcharge to cover your line changeover costs, with the remaining 7,500 units pre-scheduled for Q3 execution upon pilot sign-off."
