If they will not budge, I then ask what price breaks would be if I purchase in quantities of 50, 100 or 500 units of product. The representative will give quantity breaks, and this gives you a reference for what profit margin in product is

Example: You purchased digital cameras from supplier for $39/ea., which is reseller price. When you inquire about price breaks in quantities of 10, 50 and 100, sales rep gives you following prices: 10 cameras - $35/ea., 50 cameras - $33/ea. and 100 cameras - $28/ea. That means that bottom price of camera is $28.

It has been my experience that if you call a sales rep at end of any month they are willing to cut deals, even on smaller quantities, to hit their sales goals. By finding bottom line sales price of products you purchase earlier in month, it is possible to obtain lowest volume discount level on products while only buying a fraction of quantity.

For example, this is how my auto response reads:

------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

Since I get way too much spam, I have enabled a feature on my email account which requires verification that you are real sender.

To complete this verification, simply reply to this message and leave subject line intact.

Once you are added to my "whitelist" of accepted senders I will receive your message and you will not have to complete another verification.

--------------------------------------------------------------

You can also enter email addresses of all your friends, family, and business contacts ahead of time so they never receive initial auto response. If you subscribe to newsletters or receive monthly statements from your bank you can add their return addresses into your whitelist so you never miss a message. If anyone else happens to email you, all they have to do is reply to auto response and they are added to your whitelist. At any given time you are able to view a list of emails awaiting verification (known as a “queue”). You can manually allow emails through to your Inbox or wait until they are verified.

Now big question – what happens to all spam? Since spammers are not going to verify they received your auto response, all spam email will be caught in your queue of emails awaiting verification and never proceed to your inbox. This means only emails you are going to receive are those by approved senders. You will soon find that most emails awaiting verification are unsolicited, junk emails.

Since enabling “Boxtrapper” on one of my personal email addresses it has completely eliminated all incoming spam. I know many who use this feature and they are extremely pleased with not having to waste time sorting through and deleting unsolicited emails. While most spam filters use complex formulas to find out if an email is garbage, “Boxtrapper” is able to quickly determine if sender is real. So, how can you start making this feature work for you?

Because “Boxtrapper” is not sold in stores or a program you can readily download and install on your computer, it’s one of best kept secrets on web. This feature is normally bundled with other email services provided by either your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or website host (most likely, latter). By way, I don’t have any stock in “Boxtrapper”. For some reason, they never sent me an email asking me to invest.
