What is the value of what you buying. Those discounts only make people
feel better about the purchase.
Just went through this with Kenametal, right off the bat got 25%
discount on a $30,000 plus order. If we purchase more it could have
gotten 45% discount
So what is the value of item.
But made you fill better about the purchase see all the money i saved
you. I got my boss to agree to 25% discount see i'm a great guy sales
men i'm working for you.
Does this product make the company money or is it a liability ????
