Analyzing the bids you lost.
How many people here analyze the bids that they lost and do sort of the postmortem on the deal? I do this to evaluate how competitive I am. The recent bid that I lost is 27 pieces. The price range between my vendors was pretty wide for 55 apiece to 77. So the firm I lost to came in at 22.63 apiece. These are a specific manufacturer. I looked the company up and they’ve done about 600 K in the last six months. I understand they get a discount for volume, but a price at 60% lower than my lowest distributor?

That’s what I was confused about when I lost my first couple bids. Like how are they making a profit when you won a bid the bid by 60+ percent less than what it actually cost unless they get like a really big discount. I submitted one of my bids with 80% discount and still lost by a lot. It was a small bid though.

I was wondering the same thing but nothing was posted; so I guess there's no meeting.
