The challenge

Why buyers overpay

  • 01

    No cost reference

    Without knowing the cost of steel, resin or labour locally, any discount looks like a good deal.

  • 02

    Price, but not terms

    A lower price with a 50% deposit, no penalties and vague tooling terms costs more in the end.

  • 03

    Language and culture

    Negotiating through a sales agent by email leaves room for misunderstanding on both sides.

Questions

Frequently asked

Will negotiation damage our supplier relationship?

Done well, no. We negotiate on facts and fair margins, and aim for terms the supplier can deliver on. A squeezed supplier cuts corners.

Can you negotiate with suppliers we already use?

Yes. Many clients use us to renegotiate existing contracts, with or without changing supplier.

How accurate is the should-cost model?

It is an estimate built from local material prices and typical process costs. It is accurate enough to show where a quote is out of line, which is what negotiation needs.
