Ways to pay less
- Ask for a cap on yearly renewal increases and for fees that step down as premium grows.
- Compare more than one implementation partner, because services often cost more than the software.
- Get quotes from two or three rival products and share them with the sales rep. Vendors often drop the price to win the deal.
