UPS/FEDEX Contract Negotiations (PCN)

  • Hey, you wouldn’t undergo a major surgery without a qualified skilled surgeon, would you?
  • So why would you negotiate your UPS, FedEx, or freight contracts without an expert negotiating team supporting you?
  • Having the confidence of being a good negotiator is just not enough! 
  • You don’t know what you don’t know…for instance; carrier reps are trained to increase volume and protect their margins, they are trained to not give anything without gaining something in return, and they try to divert your focus away from a pricing improvement exercise.
  • As a matter of fact, our team of experts were previously carrier trained.  They understand carrier pricing, strategies, and preferred margins.  They know the tactics that go on during negotiations since they themselves negotiated on behalf of the carriers for many years.
  • That’s why you need an expert negotiating team on your side…a partner that will be fully transparent and unbiased in looking out for your bottom line.  That’s us.   
  • Our sole purpose is to save you money!
  • Remember, the best negotiator is the smartest negotiator, and the smartest negotiator is the one with all the market intelligence.
  • Thanks to our unique approach, our customers are empowered with the knowledge of attainable price points and given the navigational skills necessary to put them in a position of strength at the negotiating table.  
  • Based on our contingency-based business model, you have nothing to lose and a LOT to gain. 
  • We don’t get paid until well after you are saving money.
