For many suppliers, the answer to increasing profits is straightforward—sell more. But while boosting sales is essential, it’s often easier said than done. What if there was another way to boost your bottom line without selling a single extra unit?
Here’s the secret: deduction recovery.
What Are Deductions? Deductions are chargebacks that retailers take from suppliers, typically for reasons like shipping errors, damaged goods, or discrepancies in pricing. While these chargebacks are often unavoidable, many suppliers don’t realize that a large portion of them is recoverable.
The Hidden Profit in Recovering Lost Revenue
Here’s the kicker: Reclaiming lost revenue from retailer deductions has a direct impact on your bottom line. Unlike increasing sales, which can take time, recovering funds from past transactions happens faster and with much less effort.
Let’s break it down:
Faster Cash Flow: Recovery takes time, but it’s faster than growing sales.
Better ROI: Recovering money you’ve already lost yields a better return than investing in new sales efforts.
No Additional Workload: Once you get the right systems in place, deduction recovery requires minimal ongoing effort.
How to Boost Profits Through Recovery
Here’s how you can start boosting your bottom line through deduction recovery:
Track Every Deduction: Use technology to monitor chargebacks and spot recurring trends. This will help you understand which deductions are valid and which are not.
Implement Automated Tools: Automation speeds up the process and catches deductions quicker than manual methods.
