Rebate Strategist University: Introduction to Special Pricing Agreements

A Special Pricing Agreement (SPA) is a pricing technique used by distributors in combination with manufacturers and customers to negotiate on price in competitive market situations, allowing distributors and manufacturers to gain market share. SPAs are also intended to lock in relationships, secure market positioning and guarantee a protected customer-distributor-manufacturer trifecta relationship so that everyone wins.
