Present competitors' offers to Prowly to leverage pricing and terms. By demonstrating that alternatives exist and may offer similar functionality at a lower cost, you strengthen your position. Highlight that finance has tied your hands regarding budget, indicating that you may not be able to proceed unless Prowly can offer better value.
Emphasize the importance of removing auto-renewal terms from your agreement, as finance requires flexibility in review. By negotiating this change, you maintain control over your contract renewal, which can lead to a more favorable deal upon next review.
Leverage the lack of clarity around the proposed pricing and terms, suggesting that the discount proposed should not be perceived as a one-time offer. Position your budget as limited and request the supplier to consider rolling the discount into the next term to secure a better overall contract.
Propose your participation in case studies or references in exchange for favorable terms. This provides value to Prowly while setting the stage for securing discounts or better pricing based on your partnership.
