In the competitive tech landscape, negotiating expenses can significantly impact your bottom line. QDS shares strategies to optimize spends on tools like Google Workspace and AWS.

Why Negotiate?

Every dollar saved is profit. Common areas include SaaS subscriptions, where simple asks yield 20-40% discounts. For startups, this means reallocating funds to innovation.

Effective Techniques

Share competitor quotes, commit to longer terms, or outsource negotiations. Examples: 27% off Google, 40% off JamF. Tie this to resource supply management for holistic efficiency.
