Negotiate and Ask for Kickbacks

you can kind of work those prices down it seems like they always come back up eventually but continuing to ask and work those prices down really pays a man to exist I notice I mean I've been buying paint from you know one of the paint stores here for 17 years or so and they're pretty notorious for your continuing they increase their prices you know multiple times a year so what I've become accustomed to do is be notorious for asking for decreases in prices on specific products and some of the products were getting at least 40 percent off retail price and we would never get that if we didn't ask I think one of the standards is is to give you across the board a 15% discount just by filling out a contractor form you'll get that yeah there are some paint lines that we're getting around a 50% discount off of and so it's it really is just about knowing your market knowing your area I know there are certain markets where the shipping costs are less and so they're able to get product in the hands of painters a little bit cheaper than other places so ask work that price around and see what you can come up with yeah when we don't have a Benjamin Moore like really locally accessible to us here but just in preparing from this video I looked on Benjamin Moore's website they have a contractor rewards program and and that's like I think it's like kind of third-party but what's what's that all about so with that they they have some things set up where you can basically upload teacher invoices or your receipts from whatever you buy it somewhere like Benjamin Moore I'm not sure who else they do it for and they use and assuming the data from that to do whatever they do but they basically kick you back free products I've heard of guys who get like Apple watches and things like that and so again those are just little perks little things you can do that in a way kind of help toss down here's one of the last things I wanted to talk about in in this is like a secret boss right this is you're pulling the lid off of it this is top secret and I'm sure a lot of paint companies don't want you to know this but you know I don't think there should be you know a whole lot of secrets here and I'm going to share this and it's kickbacks and so there is this such thing as kickbacks and not very many painters get them because not many painters and know about them and they're not going to tell you how much kickback I get you know from you know the paint store that we get it from but I didn't…
