You know your target market wants $5 chickens but the supplier you contact probably doesn't so he quotes you for their chicken quality.

 

A good sales person would ask, and in any case, i do tell them the target market. But they insist on charging $10.

Why would I do business wit you if there is no benefit for me? 

If they insist on charging $10 its because thats their price and you would expect superior quality. If your target market demands a cheaper price then you'll have to keep looking.   If at first they quote $10 and then reduce it to $5 because this is your target price I would be wary  - It means  a) if the quality is the same they were applying huge margins that means they are not competitive  or      b) they will have to sacrifice quality to reach your target price by using inferior components/workmanship/quality control etc

IN MY OPINION BEST PRICE IS NOT LOWEST PRICE , WE FACE THIS PROBLEN NOW IN OUR COMPANY OUR PRODUCTS HAVE PERFECT QUALITY THEREFOR THEIR PRICES ARE HIGH BUT ALL OUR CLIENTS LOOKING FOR LOWEST PRICE THEY DONT CARE ABOUT QUALITY IT MAKES ME DISAPPOINTED

my opinion is
good businees not depends on price
first i have to make a very good relation with my supplyer and never change him even he has a high price
my grandfather were a businessma n
he said if you have a long time working with supplyer and he is a honest man never change him even the price change

That's very true. Good long term relationship is hard to build.   At teh same time, it's even harder to find an honest supplier. 99.99% are just there to rob you. 

So it's in your best interest to always look around and make sure you get an honest deal.

I think we should be responsible to our clients for their needs. we must refrain from emotion about our intentions to earn superfluous money or to deceive the clients for our benefits.
Then price and specification must be the same you negotiated before signing contract with your customer.
And I don't want to do business for only once.I looking for long-term business relationship with clients and share the profits with them.
Good Luck to Real The Buyer and The Seller

Good topic.I agree that the price is depending on the market the buyers face.workable price is the premise to do business.So as a buyer,if you find the price the supplier quote is much higher than your market,you just need to ask another one maybe from another country.It is same as a supplier.Just need the right price with the right market.

But my target market is $5 chicken. So no point for the seller offering me $10 chicken, I don't have buyers.

Why can't sellers give me what I need?

Just ask the seller if they
could meet your target price, if they don't, walk away and find another one. In
deed , there are many suppliers out there waiting for your orders. This is what
I said to buyers when our prices didn't meet theirs.
