Set up a MeetingFrequently Asked Questions
What if someone on the c-suite has a great relationship with our beverage partner?
Relationships are import for many reasons, but they should not to be relied upon during a negotiation for exclusive pouring rights. Your beverage company relationship may get you invited to the World Series or the Super Bowl, but it won’t get you the best beverage pricing. In fact, it may get in the way of achieving that goal. It's a good idea to bring in an independent third party that keep your beverage partner honest.

How much time commitment is required from me?
You can be as involved or as absent from the process as you'd like. For some clients, we handle the negotiations, and for some clients, we're in the background, offering you coaching and analytics. Of course, you and your team will be the final decision makers and will have opportunities at every step to shape the process.
What does this cost?
Our engagements are risk-free to you. While we can structure our engagement in a number of different ways, we typically only get paid if you save you money. We earn a small percentage of the savings we recover for you. If there are no savings, you don't pay us a dime. How much are uncompetitive beverage prices costing you?
Can't I negotiate a beverage deal on my own?
You can, but it's not a good idea. Beverage negotiations are unlike any other negotiation, and the industry is changing more rapidly now than it has in the last 50 years. Shifting consumer tastes, increased product selection and new equipment technology are all critically important factors to consider in your next deal. Make sure you are armed with the latest financial benchmarks and that your deal will serve your needs well into the future. Since savings are guaranteed, there's no risk to you.
