counteroffers
Alternative deal proposals
Counteroffers are responses to an initial offer that propose different terms.
In negotiations, a counteroffer rejects the original while keeping discussion open: The seller's counteroffer raised the price by ten thousand.
In employment, a counteroffer is what your current employer offers to keep you when you've accepted a job elsewhere: She got a counteroffer with a promotion and raise.
