      • Hi Adrien, any tips on cost savings/ negotiating prices down with suppliers?

        • depends on the category, but some general approaches tend to yield savings: consolidation of accounts and/or spend across your company, elimination of users that are no longer utilizing a service/platform, instill a sense of competition even in a non-competitive environment, multi-year signed contracts instead of single annual renewals, interviewing the supplier as to “why” they value the relationship with you, within others.
