The Spirit of Retail Negotiation
Good negotiators begin with:• Support & approval of their senior management• A thorough understanding of what they want to
achieve in this particular negotiation• The intention of keeping their price limits ‘hidden’• A time limit, to keep negotiations from dragging
on needlessly• Willingness to ‘split the difference’ when two
sides are close to agreement• Ability to negotiate one issue at a time

Retail Negotiations: Be Prepared..!
• Estimate the item’s final retail price in your store
• Evaluate a quoted price by knowing what goes into it (labor, materials, profit, etc.)
• Make price comparisons• Consider the remaining length of season
for fashion or seasonal items• Look for and request value-added services
(packaging, tagging, warranties, etc.)

Federal Trade Commission Concerns
Illegal “horizontal” agreements (between competitors)• Agreeing on prices or price-related terms in ways different from how the companies actually conduct business• Restrictions on advertising that exclude important information from consumers• Limiting or restricting output to drive prices up• Boycotting other businesses or persons• Restricting sales territories such that the parties are agreeing not to compete directly against each other

Federal Trade Commission Concerns
Illegal “vertical” agreements (between buyers & sellers)
• Agreeing on minimum or maximum resale prices for products
• Product tie-ins: Requiring a retail buyer to purchase one product or line in order to get another (if the buyer doesn’t want the product or could buy it elsewhere for less)
• Any significant restriction of competition that has no overriding business justification
