Successful negotiations as a key driver for procurement profitability
Purchasing accounts for a large proportion of product costs, making it a critical success factor with a direct bottom-line impact on the profit and loss statement. That’s why commercial negotiations are the most important tool to ensure purchasing objectives.
But especially in time-critical situations, negotiators have limited chances to surprise suppliers with their traditional negotiation.
Negotiation power is often not fully leveraged – billions remain on the table
Purchasing departments often miss opportunities to bring their full negotiating power to the table, with unsatisfying outcomes – for a variety of reasons:
- not every purchaser is an excellent negotiator
- poor negotiation preparation and lack of cross-functional alignment
- advanced negotiation methods and tools are often unknown or not used
As a result, purchasing departments often struggle to achieve ambitious targets.
