You, like most business owners/executives, have done your research, comparisons, and shopping around.  You have negotiated with several potential vendors.  Finally the pain staking process has ended and you feel GREAT about the “deal” you have.  You may feel great, but how do you know you have the best possible deal?  After all, haven’t you been negotiating with someone who knows true cost?

Let’s take telecommunications for example.  If you carefully look through your latest invoice, do you know exactly what each line item is?  What each fee is for?  Your vendor does.  You are at a serious disadvantage if you do not know as much about telecom as your sales rep.  If you hired your telecom rep to work for your company with the primary responsibility of getting you the best possible deal on telecom service, you would probably pay a lot less.  Especially if you new employee benefitted from saving you money.

Knowledge is a saleable product.  Business Advantage Group is comprised of a team of analysts who each have expertise in one of our areas of concentration.  We will level the playing field for you by using our inside knowledge of the different services your business needs to operate.  It is that knowledge and the years of experience that make us uniquely qualified to negotiate rates for you that are pennies above true cost.

If you can match 30 years intelecom, 10 years in credit card processing, 12 years in payroll processing, 10 years in offices supplies, and 53 years in  energy; then you probably won’t require our services.  If you can’t, the overwhleming odds are, you should be paying significantly less for your necessary monthly services.
