[QUOTE="lard, post: 411645, member: 13096"] Still surprises me at work that we have sales guys that mix up percentage markup and GM :( Seriously though - if a company isn't competitive they don't get the business so have to be keen jn today's market - any discount is good but not giving them isn't a sign if "profiteering" if their pricing is already competitive Typically in distribution GM is 10% - 30% - if you manufacture or have exclusivity then it is obviously more, but to make it you have capital outlay and to get exclusivity you have to commit in volume - market dictates price Though you can always ask - most are not offended and I'm not when they decline [/QUOTE]
