Leverage the competitive landscape by presenting alternative suppliers as a viable option during negotiations with Beroe. Indicate that another vendor offers a better rate for a similar service, thereby creating pressure for Beroe to adjust their pricing to retain you as a customer.
Request the removal of any auto-renewal clauses in the contract. Stress that your finance team has a new requirement to eliminate auto-renewals to allow thorough evaluations of future budgetary needs, which may also contribute to negotiating lower pricing.
Highlight any existing discounts as one-off opportunities that should extend into this negotiation. Assert that since the promotion was not specified as temporary, your finance team has budgeted for these rates going forward; push for a repeat of similar discounts.
If you plan to grow your usage significantly, communicate this need clearly. Demonstrate that growing your relationship with Beroe will require substantial use, which should come with economies of scale resulting in lower rates for your account.
If security upgrades are part of the contract, apply pressure leveraging the necessity of these features. Make it clear that this would lead to added cost implications without expecting any additional pricing; many competitors include similar upgrades at no added charge.
