Negotiating Liquidation Deals (Behind the Scenes)
Do you know what it really takes to secure the best deals in liquidation sales? A lot of work for sure. At Coastal Surplus Solutions, we make sure your deals are the best you can find for any product you need, thanks to how our team handles liquidation deals and negotiation behind the scenes.
We expertly negotiate every deal to maximize your savings and minimize risks. While this can take some extra time, we are more than committed to doing things right.
Liquidation deals can be complex and fast-paced. Success depends on deep market knowledge, research, strong negotiation skills, and strategic planning.
This is why many business owners and individuals with unique ideas and projects come to us. We guarantee they get the goods without compromising quality or making them feel they wasted time and resources.
How do we do it? The process takes more than a step or two.
Understanding Liquidation Sales
Liquidation sales happen when companies need to quickly sell off excess inventory, returned goods, or assets due to financial difficulties. Many of these companies are businesses that are going through closure or aiming for strategic shifts.
These sales offer great opportunities for buyers to purchase quality products at steep discounts, and you can even get large quantities of them.
This is why bulk buyers are always keeping an eye on liquidation. They are more profitable, but harder to deal with, especially when you are trying to source multiple products.
Our role here is to be the sourcing partner that moves you through wholesale and brand-new items, but also through these unique sales.
The liquidation process can be complicated. It involves understanding asset values, navigating auctions or direct sales, and managing tight timelines. With tight, we truly mean it. Several decisions need to be made in seconds.
Without expert negotiation, businesses and individuals risk overpaying, receiving poor-quality goods, or missing out on the best deals.
Our Negotiation Strategy Step-by-Step
But what do we do that guarantee the best deals?
We aren’t called experts for no reason. Our professionals make sure you have access to all opportunities and focus on bringing their knowledge and experience.
We are able to show our experience thanks to the process we explain whenever it is needed, and work with you through the best process.
1.We research market values thoroughly
Before we negotiate or go into liquidation sales, we research the market value of the products you want. Yes, every single one.
This gives us a solid baseline to judge if a deal is truly a bargain or if you will spend more for less. We focus on this strategy by following FasterCapital practices, which state that knowing current prices and demand helps negotiate from a position of strength and avoid overpaying.
2.Prepare to walk away
Negotiation is about leverage. We approach every deal ready to walk away if the terms aren’t favorable. Does this mean we never get your goods? Not at all. We simply source your products and keep moving until we find exactly what you need.
Liquidators want to move inventory fast, so showing we’re willing to leave puts pressure on sellers to offer better prices or terms. Hence, we usually walk away… but with your surplus goods, and ready to ship them.
3.Bundle and bulk discounts
We ask for bundle or bulk discounts, especially when that’s the whole purpose of being your sole sourcing partner. Whenever it is possible, we can offer better prices and work with you around them.
Buying multiple items or large quantities often unlocks extra savings. We want to maximize your budget and focus on how your business grows from there.
4.We develop a strategic liquidation plan for every client
This means it is not the same negotiating behind the scenes for you compared to other clients.
We create a detailed strategy that includes asset valuation, marketing negotiation tactics, and deal finalization. This strategic approach ensures we maximize returns and minimize disruptions throughout the liquidation process.
5.Negotiate deal terms with expertise
Is it all about prices? Not at all.
Negotiating liquidation deals behind the scenes is more than asking, “How much is this?”
We carefully discuss terms like payment schedules, warranties, and return policies. Anything that influences your surplus goods, and how we can maximize your budget and purchase. We also consider legal and financial implications to protect your interests.
Just as ExitAdvisor suggests, our goal is to secure clear, fair agreements that minimize risk.
6.Close deals smoothly
Closing a liquidation deal requires clear communication and confirmation of all agreed-upon terms.
Prices and every aspect of the products we are getting through these deals will align with how much you are paying and need. Therefore, don’t worry about having a sole sourcing partner who spends more.
We always consider the limits and requirements you have established. If the products and negotiations don’t fulfill them, then we find better deals.
