Maintaining a great working relationship between us, our portfolio companies and their vendors is critical for us; I trust the Deal IQ team to deliver significant savings while preserving good working relationships.
“It is a company mandate that all contracts above 50k have to go through Deal IQ, even if just to check whether it is worth going after savings.”
“I put Deal IQ in the ‘no-brainer’ bucket of whether to recommend to others; everyone that I’ve introduced Deal IQ to welcomes their support, advice and the savings achieved.”
“I have been in IT for over 20 years, but I learn something new on negotiation from Deal IQ on every engagement.”
