Frequently Asked Questions

How much can you typically save on software costs?

While results vary by vendor and solution, our clients typically see 15-30% savings compared to standard pricing. However, our negotiation focuses not just on price but on overall value, including terms, support, and implementation assistance.

Do we need to be present during negotiations?

We handle most of the negotiation process on your behalf, keeping you informed at each stage. You'll only need to be directly involved for final approvals or when specific business requirements need to be discussed.

What if we've already received a quote from a vendor?

We can still help! Often, initial quotes have significant room for improvement. We can review your existing quote and either renegotiate or provide guidance on how you can secure better terms.

How are you compensated for negotiation services?

Our compensation structure is transparent and aligned with your interests. We typically charge a fixed fee or a percentage of the savings we achieve for you, ensuring our incentives are aligned with getting you the best possible deal.
