In a dealer game, you need to be ready to negotiate with buyers and even accept less money than you think your objects are worthy. This is how it goes – you can either keep your conviction that the sweater you sell is $ 100 or you can accept $ 80 from it and move on. Most volume vendors, including me, finally taking its $ 80 because both get money and you Get rid of an object that takes up too much space at home. Accepting a lower offer is only part of the process, even if it stings.
But a shallow ball offer? You don’t have to waste time with it – and on many platforms, such as eBay and Mercar, have automatic tools that save you that you even have to see an offer for someone who wants to give you pennies with a dollar. These smart pricing tools are wildly useful in sales management – and finally, Poshmark, my favorite resale platform, adds my own smart sales tools.
How the Poshmark’s “Smart Sell” feature works
“Smart Sell” is a new feature that is slowly distributed to Poshmark sellers. The news is Hitting the resale forums On the waves, when new users are added to the beta test, so you may not have it yet. When you get the opportunity to use it, you will (privately) announce the lowest price you are really ready to accept in the list, regardless of what price you have in public. From there, Poshmark’s automation will take over: if someone offers you below this minimum threshold, Poshmark counters for you for a more reasonable price. If someone offers it above, Poshmark will accept the offer and make sales.
You have the opportunity to change Smart to sell it on and off, so you can prevent Poshmark from accepting an offer that you are not happy with. It is crucial to me because I am much tighter, for example for the price I sell a Gucci bag than I am a nike t-shirt. I’m negotiating a t-shirt because the sale price is probably not that great, but when it comes to pricing items, I prefer the right buyer (ie one who is willing to pay close to my demand price) to join.
When it is widely available, you will find it on the page that will appear after the list has been created, and above the options there is a new list for followers and relevant posh parties. Change it on, write down the lowest you accept and hit ListJust like you would otherwise make a list in live mode. Also, you are not committed to that price – you will be able to adjust it later, just as you can for a public price. You can also remove the feature even after the list is live.
What do you think so far?
Why am I excited about smart sales
Although I have automated a lot of the most boring tasks related to performing a Poshmark store with a third -party application, I still spend a lot of time on the market daily. I create bouquets to interested buyers, send special offers, meet measurements and wear and wear, and try to build a relationship with people who buy my belongings. When someone repeatedly sends me Lowball offers, they have the time and energy to respond to all of them. Occasionally I respect the hustle and bustle and if I have other sales to drop in the post office – I accept up to one, but it is rare. I even go so far as to block repeat offenders; With all of these announcements that my spam, I could forget about real deals, likes or sales. No thanks!
In short, Smart Sell saves me tons of time, and probably even net me a little low sales.
