When we help

Three moments we step in

Scenario 01
True up review
Salesforce has issued a true up notice or a mid term order form. The claim is material and the response window is open before invoice.
Scenario 02
Renewal window
The renewal is in twelve months. The account team has signaled an uplift. You want a buyer side baseline and a price lock before the offer hits.
Scenario 03
Agentforce add on
Salesforce is pricing Agentforce, Data Cloud, or Einstein into the order form. You need an independent view of value, metric, and exit before signing.
How we help

Four phase buyer side procedure

Phase 01
Scope and baseline
Contract review, edition and license utilization baseline, and the renewal calendar with every Salesforce contract line called out.
Phase 02
Estate review
User utilization, edition mix, Agentforce credit modelling, and Data Cloud, Tableau, MuleSoft, and Slack exposure mapped to real consumption.
Phase 03
Negotiation
Position paper, target price, swap motion, and the sequence with Salesforce. Executive sponsorship briefed and aligned.
Phase 04
Close and govern
Order form red lined, price book locked, Agentforce metric defined, and a governance handover so the position holds through the term.
Deliverables

What you get at close

01
Utilization baseline
Independent count of active users by edition, license type, and consumption. Built from your data, not the Salesforce account view.
02
Renewal position paper
Target price, term length, ramp profile, and the swap motion across Sales, Service, Marketing, Data, and Slack.
03
Agentforce commercial
Credit pricing model, metric definition, cap and exit clauses, and a position before Agentforce enters the order form.
04
Order form red line
Line by line review of the Salesforce paper. Auto renew, true up, price escalator, and exit protection rewritten on buyer side terms.
05
MuleSoft and Tableau view
Bundle pricing tested against best in class alternatives. Cross sell pressure decoupled from the core renewal.
06
Executive briefing deck
CFO and CRO summary of savings, residual risk, Agentforce posture, and the governance model going forward.
