Great question! Getting a supplier on Alibaba to agree to a per-piece commission split requires building trust and showing them immediate volume. Alibaba suppliers are factories—they care about moving inventory, not just promises. Here is the exact script and strategy I use to lock these deals: 1. The "Pre-Vetted Buyer" Pitch 💼 Never tell them you are just looking for a commission. Tell them you represent a group of e-commerce/TikTok Shop sellers in the US/UK. 2. The Exact Script to Send to the Supplier: *"Hi [Supplier Name], I am a Sourcing Broker representing multiple active e-commerce brands in the Western market. We are currently looking to source [Product Name] for our upcoming Q4 campaigns. We handle 100% of the marketing and customer acquisition. Instead of asking for a traditional discount, we want to structure a partnership: We will bring you consistent, bulk orders daily, and we will retain a standard $[X.XX] brokerage commission per unit directly from the total invoice. Let's hop on a quick chat to finalize the logistics."* 3. Give them a Win-Win Option 🤝 If the supplier hesitates, offer them a 2-Tier Structure: • Tier 1: Standard wholesale price for small orders (No commission for you yet). • Tier 2: Once your buyers hit 100+ units total, the supplier refunds/gives you your $[X.XX] per piece commission on all units. This removes risk for the factory and forces them to take you seriously! Let me know if you guys are facing trouble with a specific supplier right now.

"The math on this infographic is pure gold! Quick question: Do we need to sign formal legal contracts with these Alibaba factories before brokering, or can we start pushing units directly via text/phone right away?"
