Face to Face or Video Call meetings

There’s nothing better than a face-to-face meeting to get deals done. But if this is not possible, a video call will do to confirm the terms of your transaction with your dumbbell manufacturer.

How can I negotiate with the dumbbell manufacturer?

Negotiating is a skill and a business norm. Your manufacturer would come to the table knowing there are some terms you’d want to include or change in your deal. Here are the best ways to successfully negotiate with your dumbbell manufacturer.

Just Ask

When you want the unit price for your purchase to go down, just ask the manufacturer. Anyway, they are expecting that. 

When the dumbbell manufacturer can’t lower the price, they may be open to offering other considerations such as logistics at no cost. Or they would be willing to extend the warranty of the dumbbells.

Buy in Bulk

Purchasing dumbbells in bulk not only means savings to you and your manufacturer. And that means they can lower the price depending on the volume of your purchase.

Is a factory visit to the dumbbell manufacturer’s facility necessary?

Factory visits are advised if you have the time and money to spend on it but not compulsory. If you decide on visiting, observe and take note of the following:

• Manufacturing process
• Facility size and capacity
• Condition of equipment
• Inventory
• Production and facility management

What are the advantages if I purchase straight from the dumbbell manufacturer?

Getting the dumbbells straight from the manufacturer rather than a third party like a trading company lowers its price. There’s no changing of hands cost. That’s why it’s cheaper.

In China, it is common for a manufacturer to hire a trading company to market their goods in the international market. However, this offers some disadvantages to the buyer.

If you want to know if a Chinese company deals with international clients, check its company profile in Alibaba. You’ll also find details if the company is registered as a trading company or a manufacturer in its profile.

What if I am unable to make a factory visit to the dumbbell manufacturer’s facility?

You can hire an auditing team to check up on the dumbbell manufacturer’s facility if you’re not able to do so. It’s advisable to get a firm that has a base in your area for easier communication.

As a courtesy, you must let your dumbbell manufacturer know you’re hiring a quality audit team to make sure everything checks out.

A trustworthy manufacturer would welcome the opportunity to showcase their company. If they won’t agree to it, maybe you’re better off finding another manufacturer.

Are there dumbbell manufacturers in China that are internationally compliant?

Chinese dumbbell manufacturers try to keep up with the times but they may not have all the compliances your country needs for importing dumbbells. That’s why it’s important to have an inside man or agency to help and advise you on what needs to be prepared so your dumbbells are not held up in customs.

You may also do your own digging and ask for advice from your government agencies and business partners that have already engaged business with a Chinese manufacturer.

How can I watch my back when dealing with a Chinese dumbbell manufacturer?

There are several ways where you can avoid being duped in your international business dealings.

Research

Knowing the basic information of the dumbbell manufacturer and cross-checking it with other online sources could at least give you an idea if the company is legit or not.

You can also check if there are negative feedbacks about them online. 

Make sure to know the current market price of the dumbbells. So you know that you are offered a fair price, not too low but not too high.

Client References

Ask your dumbbell manufacturer for the contacts of past and current clients you can talk to. These people can give you feedback about the company that you can’t find online.

If possible, ask for references from international clients you could easily reach out to. They can tell you how the manufacturer handles business, their track record in fulfilling orders, and the quality of their products.

Request for a Sample Dumbbell

To scrutinize in detail the quality of their dumbbells, it’s best to ask for a sample. If you’re concerned that the manufacturer would send high-quality dumbbells but will deliver inferior ones, hire a third party that would secure the sample from the factory to your facility.
