Are you those who is good at bargaining?

I deal with this all the time. well, another way that you can do is raise your price a little bit and when they bargain then you can go down a little to reach to the price that you want them to pay... or you set up another system for them to buy, such as buy 10 get 1 free. or if they reach to some amount that you can give them some item for free... something. Or 10% discount if they pay bill at once. well, i know it is hard but that's how we do. try to get the best deal as we can and it will help their income also.

Indian clients are all acting like this as everyone knows . In my opinion if our factories cann't earn enough money from their orders we'd better not start the business with this kind of clients. Before the confirmaton of this order both of your two sides can bargain a lot . But how can they change their mind to ask for better price after the order is confirmed ? It's not reasonable.

I am from India. Let me tell you, you face customer from whichever nation, you must price it in competitive way. In any business, if you are not able to satisfy the customer, they will turn to another, because others are ready to satisfy them.

Yeah I guess I would say im pretty good at bargaining with people since a lot of the time I usally get what I want after a few attempts at bargaining. I know my mom is pretty good which ive learned after her. Which is why I want her when ever I buy a car or something I can get the price less.

Hi, jackie, i think most of the asians are good at bargain. I am not that good, but my mother is really good at that. Sometimes i really think i should learn from her. But somehow i feel embarrassed to do so. Perhaps you can use the japanese method. Nowadays, it's all about customer satisfaction, customers come first, it's not like in the past that focused on production. You can find out the target price that the customers are willing to pay for. Then you calculate the target cost. Try any methods to reduce your costs to meet the target cost. Deduct those unnecessary costs that will help you to reach the target cost. I think it's a very competitive market in India, so that you should put the customers in the first place and offer what they want. I hope this will help. Have a nice day!

Hi friend, I am an INDIAN too,country where most of things are sold at bargained price. Infact bargaining is now everywhere, everyone wants to buy a comedity at an effective price. It is nice too. It is all because of perfect competition environment. Only way to handle such customers is to tell the customer repeatedly What is unique in your product? Things that customer won't get in other products. Why other products are cheaper? And most importantly spoke with customer as he is of your family. Told him sir you are so sweet thats why I am trying to reduce prices. Keep mylotting.

I am awful at bargaining, which is kind of surprising because Portuguese are always bargaining - or where when I lived there. They would bargain and argue the price of everything and rarely get out of the store paying what was marked in the first place. My philosophy is that if I have the money and want the item, I pay for it at the marked price, if I don't have the money then I don't bargain to get the price lower. So I was always a bit different from everyone else I knew. I don't know what to suggest on how to deal with it. It seems to be complicated. I know this doesn't sound exactly honest, but I remember when I worked at a store back home that they would raise the price a little bit already counting that the people would come and started bargaining, so at the end they would be paying exactly what was intended in the first place. I don't think that store was the only one doing that.

I think sometimes it is because of the different culture. Some people really like to bargain even if the price is already very nice. Perhaps next time you can offer them a higher price and then you can give them a lower price when they ask for the best price. I love China

This is an interesting discussion. Barganing is an art which I couldn't learn till now. I am very poor in that. If I try to bargain also, I won't be able to reduce the amount to a good level. I have an aunt who is very good at bargaining. I feel bad to bargain to the poor people who sell goods at door steps.

i belong to india.....i request u to read the principles of management and total quality management.. so that u could get some ideas about customer satisfaction.. i would tell u, fix the price that is affordable by the people and in the same way, u should get the profit... i will tell u , we are always forced to bargain..because the primary rate is not good..its very high...they always fix at a higher rate, and so we bargain and they get the normal rate , then they sale the product.. so the basic mistake lies in the primary rate fixing.. i will tell, if u fix the correct price , there is no reason and way for bargaining..we will buy without asking a question.. but i am not good at bargaining..i will always shop only on the fixed price shopping malls.. they fix the correct price, so people shop easily without bargaining.. happy to respond..happy mylotting...

I am not very good at bargaining. For me, when I need to buy something, I will talk about the price with the salesgirl for a little while, if they refuse to reduce the price, then I will give up. But my mother is good at bargaining.

cause u always compromise, or others compromise, so they know they can get lower price by bargaining. if u'r in some industry for longer time, u'll know the scope of the price. if lower than the scope, refuse. then they have no chance to bargain. but that also need all the factories to have such a rule in the mind, really not easy. some even give the cost price, while get the profite from the tax refund from the country. to me, if the price is too low or lower than the expected, i refuse. orelse there will be bad price competition. that will not be good to the factories. in fact, such as we import, if the goods have good quality, and the price is in the reason scope, not only the lowest, we'll cooperate. just to enhance the quality and service, not only to lower the price.

I am going to be blunt, after being with Lyoshka I have realized something, Indians love to haggle with price, really anything not just price. You can try to go high and get them to go down to the price you really want. I personally would never want to do business with my fiance. He is way better at negotiating than I am.

I agree, some people are great bargainers. But then, I disagree that certain nationals are like that. Maybe others are stingy too. Even they feel that pinch to pay more for an inferior product. What you can do is you can draw up a deed which clearly specifies the amount that has to be paid for the services or product. You have to be assertive enough to make your customers believe that they are getting their money's worth. A sales guy worth his salt would tell you that they are able to get more for a product's worth, never less. If a guy is really smart and capable he can woo his customers and make them pay through their nose. :)

I hate bargaining!!! But it's doable make it a clause in your agreement make them sign something before production stating they will pay what is asked. This should be done right when the order is placed. They can bargain up to the initial order and then nothing after that. It'll save you some time and a headache or two. And sometimes it's okay to lose an order if you're losing money filling that order.
