Supplier planning & negotiation.
Choosing and negotiating with a supplier is where a lot of margin is won or lost. Here's how we help you prepare — included in the Personal Launch Consultation ($249).
Go into supplier conversations prepared.
The consultation gives you the screening and the scripts — so you negotiate from evidence, not hope.
Supplier screening
How to shortlist candidate suppliers, the questions that separate a real manufacturer from a reseller, and the documents worth requesting.
Comparable quotations
What to ask for so quotes are actually comparable — unit price, MOQ, tooling, lead time and terms side by side.
Price & small-order negotiation
A message kit and a plan to discuss price, a small first (pilot) order, and samples — with realistic targets.
Samples & documents
How to coordinate a sample and which documents to collect before committing to a production run.
A supplier's listed MOQ alone does not decide whether to proceed — we explore practical pilot quantities. Negotiated quantities and prices depend on the supplier's actual agreement.
Screening, questions and a negotiation kit
You get the shortlisting approach, the exact questions to ask, and ready-to-send messages for price and pilot-order discussions — as part of the Personal Launch Consultation.
Goods, samples, testing & freight
SourceVerdict prepares you to act; it does not itself purchase goods, run factory inspections, pay for samples, arrange freight or complete third-party testing. Those are your costs, with the suppliers you choose.
Plan the supplier side.
It's built into the $249 Personal Launch Consultation.
