Straight answers
Before we shake hands.
How are you paid?
Only by you, the buyer. Discovery is $3,500 one-time. Managed Sourcing starts at $3,000 per month per category plus a 4% success fee on purchase-order value for the first 12 months. Strategic Supply Desk starts at $6,000 per month plus 3%. Any add-ons are at cost plus a disclosed margin, approved in advance.
Do you receive supplier kickbacks?
No. We never accept commissions or kickbacks from suppliers. Our zero-kickback pledge is in writing. We do not take title to your goods.
What do your non-circumvention terms mean?
Introduced suppliers are covered by a 12-month tail. If you transact directly with a supplier we introduced during that period, the agreed success fee still applies. The exact scope and start date are defined in your agreement. We explain the terms before you sign.
