Securing competitive prices for your products is essential for the success of your business. Negotiation skills and strategies are vital when sourcing products, and when dealing with TurkMall sellers, you should also consider language and cultural factors.
Successful price negotiation involves finding the right balance where you pay the right price for the right quality, and the seller makes a sufficient profit. A good negotiation results in both parties being satisfied.
Before negotiating, research the seller's credibility by checking their online profile and looking for a verification badge. Determine the seller's costs and their competitors' prices, and aim for a reasonable baseline price that allows them to earn a 20% profit margin.
Established companies with proven sourcing power are more likely to be favored by sellers. Inform them of your company's longevity, purchasing power, and requirements. If you're a high-volume customer, sellers may offer discounts. Newer businesses can approach manufacturers willing to grow with them.
Ask questions to understand the seller's business and rationale for their pricing. Request samples to assess product quality and show you're a serious buyer.
Don't be afraid to walk away from a negotiation, as you hold the bargaining power. Encourage competitive pricing by speaking to multiple sellers and inform them of competing quotes.
Be creative in negotiating by discussing other factors that affect cash flow, such as deposit amounts, payment terms, faster shipping, ecommerce fulfillment, warranty improvements, and better packaging.
