Good afternoon, dear guests and subscribers of the "Build for Myself" channel!
I would not write on this topic if I did not know commerce from the inside. He himself worked for more than one year in organizations both in the wholesale and retail trade in building materials.This articleoffers a certain approach to employees of retail companies, in which you will agree on the maximum discount for the product you are interested in.
The maximum discount for an individual is a special price category, in other words, it is a discount foreman, private developer or persons who take a lot and often, and companies are interested in such people.
Of course, if you are purchasing a penny product, then it makes no sense to strain and strain people for a few hundred rubles, but if your task is to purchase a brick, metal tiles, reinforcement for the foundation and other expensive goods, then the discount in rubles will amount to thousands, and maybe tens of thousands, about which further and let's talk.
Who can give the maximum discount?
Seller? No! The seller, of course, has the authority to slightly move the price, which is indicated on the price tag or in the price list, but this is only 5-8%, sometimes 10%. These are the usual prices that are offered to one in three! Special price starts from 15, 20... 50%, sometimes up to 70% for certain commodity items, usually for those that are produced by the retailing organization itself.
Sellers can give such a discount in an exceptional case, if you buy according to the special column of the price list. Usually, such columns depend on the purchase amount, for example: more than 100,000 rubles. - 15% discount, more than 200,000 rubles. - 20% discount, etc. But what if you want to buy 50,000 rubles. with a 40% discount???
It is the discounts of this size that are provided by the store manager, commodity expert or deputy director, in depending on the agreed state of the organization and you need to contact not the seller, but these persons.
These people are interested in volumes. By virtue of their position, they look wider than sellers. Their hands are untied for the lowest possible retail price in Independence from the purchase amount. And very often the boss is even glad to talk to the buyer, since you rarely meet such "impudence"!
How to get the lowest price?
Despite the fact that you are buying building material for yourself, you need to adhere to the position that you are a foreman or a private developer, and intend to buy here more than once. Nobody will ask you for proof, just a normal human dialogue without flaring and other show-off.
It would be better to think over a short legend for yourself in advance and figure out the main theses in your head so that during the conversation there are no unexpected turns and do not burn yourself with giblets. For example: "I have been building for the 4th year already, I specialize in low-rise construction, I have already commissioned 15 private houses and 2 more in the process - at the stage of the foundation pit", etc., etc.
Secondly, if you pretend to be an experienced specialist, you need to prepare in advance and understand the product that you want to purchase. This gives confidence when building a dialogue. Conversation with employees should be on an equal footing.
In the dialogue, you can make it clear that since the estimate has already been agreed with the customer, you do not fit in the retail price, you need a lower price.
Be sure that you will be met. You are a beneficial person for them, and they are beneficial for you. Your data will be entered into the database and the maximum discount will be assigned to you. And whenever you come to this store, even for a carnation, you are guaranteed a good price.
Of course, in construction hypermarkets no one will talk to you - there is a different chain of price coordination and the assignment of value to goods comes "far from above", and here in specialized stores, such as roofing systems, facade and wall materials, rolled metal or lumber - you will go without any questions towards!
For demand they do not hit in the nose, sociability rules!
Thank you for your attention and I really hope that the article was useful to you!
