Most of the companies often do not understand the logic behind the
pricing of commodities with suppliers or we call it negotiation,Specially the
departments deal in Procurement/Logistics. Supplier may have many logical
reasons to reduce his price,most of the suppliers will often realize you that
the first price offered to you is the best price reduction according to him and
the buyer should accept it without any doubt. Companies used all there reasons
to reduce the prices of the items/Services but the vendors has the more
defending power for his prices so at the end you run out of reasons for getting
lower prices.
- Always keep a valid reason for asking vendors to reduce the price.
-
Always ask for price reduction but with authentic reasons.
- Repeat the exercise for asking reduction in price.

over life and everyday in fact its a routine part of our life, but in supply
management chain negotiation tactics are used to yield best results.
Always keep the data or history record of supplier to whom you already
had negotiations in past. You should also know the personality and
characteristics of the vendors that how easily you will treat him/her. Always
gives a proper welcome of sometime to your vendor and ask about there
children,vacations,health before negotiating using these tactics will give a
warm tone before commercial discussions.
