How do those conversations typically go in the real world? Is it an actual meeting w/ a buyer agent there? An automated message?
If a live conversation is it a fairly hostile "look at all the sales we're driving for you. Give us this price or they go away because we have all the leverage here"? Or is it a bit more of a back and forth?
Curious to hear any real world examples of how that typically goes.
I'm sorry I didn't see this reply. Amazon assigns an account manager to essentially squeeze you as much as possible from day 1. We were amicable at first, but they just kept asking for bigger and bigger discounts. After we flatly refused the account managers pricing for a couple of months in a row the 1P PO's just stopped showing up one day, the manager didn't pick up their phone, and that was that.
We have since re-established our 1P relationship and our new account manager seems to be more understanding. Time will only tell.
