Salesforce Engagement Success Story: Fortune 500 Company Achieves Remarkable Cost Savings

SCHEDULE A free consultation
At The Negotiator Guru, we recently had the privilege of working with a prominent Fortune 500 company to facilitate their Salesforce renewal process. Our primary goal was to help them reduce their annual licensing costs without committing to significant future growth. Through our expertise and strategic approach, we achieved outstanding results, saving the client an impressive $1.84 million in direct costs and enabling them to avoid additional expenses of $5.1 million.

Our Approach:
To ensure a successful engagement, we implemented our proven 4-step IT Software Negotiation Process, tailored specifically to the client's Salesforce requirements:

Step 1) Discovery:
Collaborating closely with the global client team, we thoroughly examined their historical use of Salesforce and gained valuable insights into their future plans for the platform over the next 3-5 years. This comprehensive understanding formed the foundation for our negotiation strategy.

Step 2) Strategy:
We facilitated productive discussions involving all key stakeholders to establish a unified vision of the necessary licenses and add-ons required to meet the client's evolving needs. This alignment ensured that our negotiation efforts were targeted and focused, optimizing the outcome.

Step 3) Negotiate:
Utilizing our outcomes-based negotiation tactics, we engaged in open and constructive conversations with Salesforce. We effectively communicated the client's strategic objectives and explored how Salesforce could best support their business goals. This approach fostered a mutually beneficial dialogue and helped drive the negotiation towards a win-win solution.

Step 4) Contract Execution:
In collaboration with the client's Legal department, we diligently identified and mitigated contractual risks and open-ended obligations. By ensuring a clear and favorable agreement, we provided the client with a solid foundation for their ongoing partnership with Salesforce.

The Remarkable Results:
Our engagement delivered substantial benefits to the client, yielding cost savings of $1.84 million and cost avoidance of $5.1 million over the contract term. Beyond the financial gains, the negotiation process fostered executive-level engagement between the client and Salesforce, enhancing their relationship and paving the way for a stronger partnership. The outcome was a win-win solution that satisfied both parties and set the stage for continued success.

At The Negotiator Guru, we take pride in our ability to deliver exceptional results for our clients. This success story exemplifies our commitment to achieving substantial cost savings while nurturing valuable business relationships.
