| Price Negotiation Program
Chartwell has found that office products
vendors do not charge their customers the agreed upon prices. We
have also found that the prices agreed upon are often too high,
especially when:
 |
The customer does not have the time or
resources to monitor pricing
|
 |
The customer has been with the same
vendor for awhile
|
 |
The customer has as cost-plus
arrangement with their vendor
|
 |
The customer is a member of a buying
group |
With this in mind, Chartwell offers our
Price Negotiation Program. We have been successful in saving money
for our clients as vendor overcharges and purchases made under
unreasonable pricing structures can add up to hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
Chartwell's Price Negotiation Program is
designed to evaluate the client's current pricing structure, spending
patterns, and office supply needs to develop a custom-made, effective
cost savings plan. Our Program identifies opportunities for direct
savings on office supply costs and is a four-step process in which we:
 |
Perform an initial study of office
products purchases
|
 |
Provide recommendations and a plan for
cost savings
|
 |
Implement the plan and secure cost
savings
|
 |
Monitor the plan to ensure savings are
achieved |
The Price Negotiation Program is a
win-win situation for our clients. First, it can lead to
substantial cost savings on your office products. Second, in the
unlikely event that no savings result, you will receive an independent
expert confirmation of a fair and accurate office supply pricing
structure at no cost. |
