  1. How do I handle “Take-it-or-leave-it” suppliers?
  2. What if suppliers argue my cost information is wrong?
  3. What do I do when suppliers blame higher overheads?
  4. Isn’t bidding more effective than negotiating?
  5. What do I do when distributors say they have no choice but to pass along manufacturers’ increases?
