      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 UA-cam 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.

      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.

      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.

    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!

    • @natashagarcha4828
      @natashagarcha4828 3 роки тому

      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)

    • @not_enoughmana
      @not_enoughmana 3 роки тому +13

      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?
