Introduce competition as an alternative to leverage your negotiation. This tactic has proven successful as it emphasizes the potential for churn and the ability to switch vendors. By providing a specific competitor's quote that is lower, you can pressurize the current supplier to offer more competitive pricing or improved terms.

Push back against any uplift in pricing due to your expected growth or stable usage. By emphasizing that the budget for the upcoming period does not account for significant increases, you can argue for the removal of any uplifts and secure a stable pricing structure.

Capitalize on your initial interaction or engagement with Contify by negotiating a one-time discount on the featured services. This tactic can manifest savings on your overall cost and may lay the foundation for better terms in future negotiations.

Negotiate for future-proofing terms, such as automatic price protection if your usage scales up. By locking in pricing for future growth scenarios, you ensure that as your usage increases, you benefit from lower rates rather than facing unexpected charges.

Request to remove any auto-renewal clauses from the contract. Emphasizing your company's policy against auto-renewals helps control future costs and maintains your leverage during upcoming negotiations.
