• Let’s Make Business Negotiations More Direct and Efficient  28/10

Business involves different interests: Price, payment terms, order quantities, quality standards, delivery times, and responsibility when problems arise, all these need to be discussed carefully.

Client as a buyer want to control costs, we as a supplier need to make a reasonable profit. Buyer need stable quality and on-time delivery, while supplier need clear requirements and a reasonable production plan…

These differences are normal.

I am willing to discuss them and look for solutions that work for both sides.

For example, if a customer wants a lower price, we can discuss the order quantity, materials, workmanship, and production plan to see if there is a way to adjust the cost.

If the price really cannot go any lower, we tell you directly, but if both sides keep testing each other, or one side keeps pushing the price down without being willing to make the actual needs and terms clear, there is not much value in spending more time on it.

Here would rather put the issues on the table and let the facts decide how we move forward.

I believe business negotiations should be direct, clear, and focused on finding solutions that work for both sides.

After many years in the clothing industry, I have come to understand myself better.

There is one way of doing business that I do not agree: both sides keep testing each other, guessing what the other side really thinks…

I can understand why people do this, but I do not like it that much.

In the past, may information was not as easy to get as it is today. Buyers did not know the real costs of suppliers, and factories did not know how serious buyers were about working together. Both sides were afraid of losing, so neither wanted to show their cards first.

Sometimes, it took many rounds of questions and discussions before both sides could move forward.

There were reasons for this in the past. But in today’s world, where the internet is widely used and information is much easier to get, do we still need to spend so much time and energy on these things?

Let’s spend our time doing things great, making better products and finding better market opportunities, rather than getting caught up in these small things.
