Tatiana thank you for you clear and well organized videos. Could you please make one on channels of communication with Alibaba suppliers for newbies. Do we chat via alibaba messenger or email. How do we voice call them? Many suppliers have we chat but Im not sure if it's good to use that. Thanks
Thank you for your videos! I find that a lot of people on RU-vid who are talking about Amazon FBA are smooth talkers, and are often male. It is refreshing to see a woman killing it and still stay humble, honest and real. :) Thank you for being an inspiration for me and so many other women.
Hey Tatiana - I just wanted to let you know that I have watched countless negotiation videos, training videos, etc etc. but you have honestly brought up so many points that nobody else has and I'm so happy I came across your video! Love your content, keep up the good work
I'm in the works with an alibaba manufacturer I think these pointers could help. I definitely would rather risk investing 3k than 6-10k on a single product by asking for sample order. Plus I believe oil diffusers are a good niche on Amazon. Hopefully it goes the distance although I am skeptical about some of the dropshipping stories I've heard.
Your insights and honesty gave a fresh perspective on how to approach the buyer/seller relationship. I had no experience with Chinese businesses until two months ago and still feeling lost and that’s when I realized I should try RU-vid. Glad I found you.
Hey Tatiana. I love the way you show things to us it helps me a lot and you are such a nice good and open person you show everything and you don't hide things in your videos like other people do. all of your videos are very clear and very comprehensive. thank you so much for the infromation.
I paused the video at point 3 to thank you , there is always a value in your videos and I learned something new, thank you soooooooo much, that's brilliant
Tatiana: If you’re just starting and they say 5,000 you can go to like 3,000 Me: *Scratching head because the only counter offer I can afford is 200 MOQ
Even if you find a supplier that allows MOQ of 200, check out the "small print." I remember reading what I thought was a 200 MOQ for perfume bottles and the small print said "200 for the first order, 5000 thereafter." And like Tatiana stated, always have more than one supplier.
Good video. But can you do a video on the shipping process. How the products get from China to my house. If that’s even possible ? Is it 100% necessary to use a fright forwarder. I no you have a video on this but it’s not very clear. Please make another thank you!❤️
Negotiation is something that Ive always struggled with but this video helped me make sense of the process. I feel so much more confident now. Thank you!
This is the most informative video I’ve ever watched in my life. Now, I feel so much more confident to place my first order! thank you very much ♥️ Can you please also share the Template you were using in your video or normally use for sending it to the suppliers. It'll really be an appreciating thing for us. REGARDS:
Tatiana this video is very very necessary for new people good job! And your MAIN WEAPON is honesty Thank you for helping people! Keep doing what u r doing! Good luck
Tatiana, I've been following you and Stefan for a while (years) now and I have to say .. you've really up your game lately! Your content is well targeted and very valuable. I can tell you're putting a lot of time and thoughts into it. Thanks for doing this and being such genuine person. I have a question though, when would you say is the right time to negotiate? After you first contacted the supplier and got their quotes? or later on, once you received your sample for example? Thanks in advance and keep the videos coming please!
Hi - just reading through this - it sounds like the negotiation is for the sample order. And then I am assuming after cultivating the relationship, you can negotiate on a higher MOQ (assuming the sample order sold well)
Thank you Tatiana! What makes ASM worth purchasing? I know there are a lot of training programs for FBA, and I want to make sure I am choosing the right one.
No. Never negotiate sample price. You want to establish a relationship with the supplier and can't do that until you have facts to negotiate with. If you haggle over one sample, they will assume that you are difficult and may not want to work with you. If you instead inspect their product and give them real feedback to negotiate a better price, they will respect you more and you'll have better leverage in future negotiations. Also, how would you know what product improvements to ask for before placing your order until you've inspected the quality of the sample?
How do I go about changing a product??? I have an idea for a bowl but I need it to have a certain coating on it and kind find it anywhere for the specific coating I need it to have
Thank you for sharing this information! I have NO idea how to speak to people and I appreciate your help! I do have one question, so say 6 months with this one supplier and they no longer carry your item. So you message the second and say hey I will need an order now? And are these two products the exact same with exact same materials and color?
I’ve done a lot of these things my problem is I ran into there’s a huge language barrier for some and they don’t answer the question correctly very frustrating but understandable but understandable what should I do
Good morning Tatiana, hope everything is well. Im a newbie. Im a subscriber on your RU-vid and I came across your video about how to negotiate with suppliers on alibaba- Good video and thanks for the information. Like im a newbie and this will be my first product, I saw a product i decided to sell but i want to make improvements to the product after reading the bad reviews. Is only a small adjustments to the product. Do you think is a good idea knowing is my first product making any improvements to the product so I could Compete with my competitors?
I was quoted between $35-$50 for 1 sample glass water bottle to the UK, does this sound like wayy too much??? I think it does but how do i negotiate that down? x
Hello Tatiana, needless to say how thankful I and people like myself are to you for trying to help us. Just have a question, should one still use DDP if he hd Amazon FBA?
I love how information all your videos are I am Viciously saving for the ASM course but noticed It's no longer available. Is that the course That's no longer available or is it your bonus?
Hi Tatiana Love this video, thank you for the invaluable knowledge and wisdom! P.s I just watched a video by a guy named Cameron James, was curious if his your brother ? 🤷🏻♂️😁
Hi Tatiana , you do bring up some a very good point however, what if the product was slightly modified, would it not take longer for the other manufacturer to agree to those same modifications in the event you need to switch to them? How do you deal with this scenario?
