Question 1

Why not do this ourselves?

Accepted Answer

You're already doing a great job managing your vendor costs but we bring additional data to the table that you most likely don't have access to.

We focus on the "invisible" middle: the vendors you are already buying from.

Because we have access to cross-industry benchmarks and specialized negotiation data, we often find an additional 10–20%+ in savings on contracts your team already thought were "optimized." If we don't find cost savings, you don't pay us a cent. It’s the only way to be certain you are actually getting what you pay for.

You could send out RFPs, get several quotes, compare services, negotiate prices, and implement new contracts. Or, you could let us handle that process for you. Additionally, we have access to thousands of vendor pricing data examples that give insight into the fair market price for the services most companies use.

Question 2

We’re too busy to take on a new project right now.

Accepted Answer

That is exactly why our model works. Since we only get paid on a 50% split of actual savings, we are incentivized to do 90% of the heavy lifting.

We don't ask you to change vendors, implement new software, or retrain your staff. We simply analyze the services you are already using and find ways to get them for less. Your only "work" is providing the initial data and approving the final savings.

Question 3

We don't want to damage our existing vendor relationships.

Accepted Answer

This is the most common concern, and it’s why we don't use "hardball" tactics. We act as a neutral third party ensuring the "fair market value" is being met and that your vendors are delivering exactly what was promised.

We look for billing errors, unapplied credits, outdated tiered pricing, and "bracket creep" that vendors often overlook. In many cases, we strengthen the relationship by working in partnership with your vendors to update contracts, which ultimately benefits you.

Question 4

I don't want to switch my vendors.

Accepted Answer

80% of the time, our clients maintain their existing vendor relationships. In many cases, we actually strengthen the relationship by focusing on contract clarity and market‑aligned pricing to protect your bottom line. We act as a neutral third party ensuring the "fair market value" is being met.

Question 5

50% of savings seems high. Why is the split structured this way?

Accepted Answer

The 50/50 split reflects a total alignment of interests.  We don't get a "participation trophy." If we don't deliver a hard-dollar reduction in your operating expenses, we work for no charge.

Zero Risk: You have no upfront costs, no hourly fees, and no retainer.
Self-Funding: We only get paid out of "found money" that was previously leaving your bank account.

Most clients find that 50% of "newly discovered" money is significantly better than 100% of the money they were previously losing to vendor overspend.

Question 6

A  3-year agreement is a long time

Accepted Answer

The majority of our clients renew their agreements with us at the end of the 3 years because we continue to deliver such great value. They find they would rather just have us manage the whole, time consuming, process while they run their business. If you chose not to renew after 3 years you have that option and you will continue to benefit from the savings found for you.

We don’t just do a one-time analysis for you and then bill you for 3 years. One of the most beneficial parts of our service is that we will be vigilant in continually optimizing your position. This will not be a one-time “shoot and run” analysis. We continue to consult, send monthly reports, and review your services every three months, so you can concentrate on your business and we'll handle the day-to-day vendor expenses.

Question 7

What if you can't find any savings?

Accepted Answer

Then you get a no charge professional audit. If we review your spend and find that you are already at the absolute "best-in-class" pricing, we will tell you. You get the peace of mind and the data to prove to your board or CFO that your vendor spend is 100% optimized—and it costs you nothing.

Question 8

How much will this really cost?

Accepted Answer

There is no additional fee for our services. We split any savings with you 50/50, so there's only upside. If we don't save you money, you don't pay us anything. Worst case, you'll have the peace of mind in knowing you're getting fair value from your existing vendors.
