Introduce competing offers you’ve received as leverage to negotiate a better deal. Emphasize to Totango that you are considering competitor quotations which are lower, and mention the specific functionalities you need.
Negotiate to waive potential overage fees. Since you are evaluating different tiers and features, explicitly mention that overage fees could complicate meeting budget constraints, and suggest that these fees be waived.
Highlight that due to legislative or internal financial team constraints, you cannot agree to auto-renewal terms. This tactic often helps secure better pricing and keeps future negotiations open.
If you're interested in advanced features for security compliance or robustness, leverage your budget constraints to negotiate a lower price on these features or possibly have them included free with your purchase.
If you’re planning to expand your use of Totango, bring up the potential for increased user counts and request volume-based pricing reductions. This is particularly insightful if you are looking to scale your customer base significantly.
