Private Negotiator, LLC was established to help smaller companies level the playing field advantage that large companies have when negotiating for hardware, software, services, telecom, HR benefits, real estate, etc.... Having a professional negotiator on your side allows engineers to be focused on writing code and lawyers can be used surgically on legal issues, which keep their costs down too.
At your current company size, it usually does not make sense to pay for a full-time procurement professional. But it is never too early to save money and have a disciplined approach to vendor management. Private Negotiator can either be your virtual procurement/vendor management organization or use us more as a tactical hired-gun expert on specific purchases or renewals such as Oracle, Salesforce.com, etc... Either way, we are much less of a financial commitment/burden than full-time staff.
Beyond hard-core cost reductions of your renewals and so forth, below are other services where our discipline in Vendor Management & Procurement yields material benefits:
