How we helped a South Australian buyer switch from G682 palisade to affordable flamed stair treads within a $5,000 budget
I received an inquiry yesterday. The email is :
Hi guys, can I please get a quote for one 20ft shipping container load gross 27.5 tonne FOB your nearest port?
I am wanting a full container load of palisade stone. Preferably in a nice warm colour.
We have a shipping agent that can arrange the shipping to us in South Australia. I just need you to quote a FOB price.
Kind regards,
After receiving the customer's inquiry, we immediately sent our product pictures, G682 and black basalt, 6 sides natural split finish 100x20x10cm for Palisade or fence. The customer agreed, please quote half of the quantity each. After we quoted the best price, I added the customer's WhatsApp. After chatting, the customer said that it exceeded his budget, which was only $5000 per container. Can we use flamed finish to lower the price?
In order to meet my client's target, I said, why don't we recommend other stones with lower prices? He said they are also used for stair treads, so I recommended two more stones and quoted him a price of 80-120x30x17cm massive steps. Two sides of flamed surface, with a chamfered finish, which is very suitable for outdoor flooring and square pedals. It is non slip and very durable.
In summary, if the customer has a budget, please let me know and we will sincerely look for suitable stones to quote. As long as you trust us, we have the opportunity to cooperate. We can meet your requirements, both by purchasing the desired stone and at the lowest possible price.
