Directed Contract Negotiations (DCN)

Our sourcing experts go after your best deal – with the goal of setting a new best practices benchmark.

Complexity and change in the telecom landscape are making it harder and harder to get a world-class contract. That is why more and more organizations are soliciting the help of telecom contract experts, with access to market rates and experience in negotiating telecom contracts, to help get the best possible deal.

With ProfitLine’s Directed Contract Negotiations, we go a major step beyond our Sourcing Strategy Development services of rate benchmarking and qualitative analysis, and execute the negotiation on your behalf. By engaging ProfitLine you receive unsurpassed negotiation expertise on your side of the negotiating table, along with a process so streamlined that engagements are often completed within 45 – 60 days.

How we achieve unrivaled results with Directed Contract Negotiations:

Rate Benchmarking and Data Manipulation
An experienced telecom negotiator may tell you access to benchmark market rates is only half the battle – and that analyzing the data is so cumbersome and complex it can completely stall a negotiation. At ProfitLine, not only do we have the most up-to-date rates from world class telecom deals, we have an unparalleled ability to manipulate and analyze the data into a line level format that facilitates apples to apples comparisons.

A Streamlined Process that gets you to Savings Sooner
ProfitLine generally completes sourcing engagements—from benchmarking to contract signature—in a third to half the time it takes most companies to do their own deal. We handle all the preparation, while providing you with complete visibility into deal strategy and status. Speedy negotiations mean you start accruing savings months sooner, which can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars. A major factor contributing to our streamlined process includes:

ProfitLine’s PowerSource RFP. PowerSource is our web based tool for organizing and gathering vendor responses to our client RFPs. On top of providing real time visibility throughout the entire process, it greatly reduces the time and complexity associated with gathering and analyzing vendor bids. Its extensive RFP process/workflow controls include line level tracking of all elements (developed, sent, received, reviewed), weighting of questions by importance and automatic scoring.
