Frequently Asked Questions about Contract Negotiation Services.
Contracts with Cost Cutting Consultant last three years.
Yes, any company can negotiate with UPS or FedEx on their own. But these couriers expect this and often issue contracts most beneficial for the courier, not for their clients. These couriers do not expect their clients to have experienced knowledge about the courier’s negotiation tactics, data analytic skills regarding their prices and services, and an in-depth understanding of their contract’s language and fine print. Therefore, Contract Negotiation Services can provide the above level of expertise and make it possible for your company to negotiate the best possible rates.
Yes. Many clients have more than one courier, and Cost Cutting Consultant will provide the above mentioned services for each one.
First, you will receive an initial analysis of your current courier’s contract and a report of potential savings that could be made after a contract revision. Next, you will receive a written “request for revised contract” to send to your current courier. Once your courier responds to this request, all further negotiations will also be written for you. Lastly, you will receive an Excel analysis of the courier’s new contract offer.
Each month you will receive a detailed Excel spreadsheet outlining the savings you will be earning with your new courier contract.
