Negotiating the price of a part or even the cost of shipping can positively impact an organization's bottom line. Display to the interviewer that you have an awareness of this practice and that you are comfortable in negotiations.

"In my current position, I will negotiate price and any breaks on shipping all of the time. I have learned that any amount of money I can save is more money the company can add to its bottom line. A few dollars here and there can make a huge difference in the end. The majority of negotiations that I have completed were for bulk orders where the price per part was reduced by a small amount and free shipping was included."
