You Left Money on the Table Last Quarter. Here’s Why.
You had the better position. The better alternatives. The better relationship.
But the supplier still won.
They didn’t win because they were better negotiators. They won because you were under-prepared:
- You didn’t have time to fully analyze their financials before the meeting
- You missed that clause in the contract that cost you leverage
- You didn’t know their CEO had just announced a 20% revenue decline
- You couldn’t pull together 18 months of performance data in time
- You walked in with a gut feeling instead of a strategy
Your suppliers have done their homework on you. They know your purchase history, your dependencies, your deadlines. They’ve researched your alternatives.
But do you know everything about them?

The Economics of Preparation
Let’s do the math:
| Time saved per negotiation prep | 3-5 hours |
| Negotiations per month | 4-8 |
| Annual time savings | 280+ hours (7 work weeks) |
| Value of time saved (at $50/hr) | $14,000+ per year |
And that’s before counting the better outcomes from more thorough preparation — the additional savings, the stronger contracts, the improved terms.
One better-negotiated contract pays for this book 100x over.
