For procurement consultants
Your work saves a company money, and the invoice has to clear the same accounts payable you’re reviewing. Sell a savings review as one piece of work, send the invoice where finance wants it, and keep a monthly slot for renewals.
What finance directors ask
What does a procurement consultant do?
Reviews what a company buys and from whom, then renegotiates or switches suppliers to cut costs or risk.
How do procurement consultants charge?
A fixed fee for a review, or a share of the savings found. A fixed fee is simpler to agree on and to invoice.
How much can a procurement review save?
It depends on how long contracts have gone unreviewed. Agree how savings are measured before you start.
Your page on the first day
This is the consulting setup, and it’s what your page starts with. Change any of it where it appears.
- Clients can book from tomorrow onward.
- Moving or canceling is free up to 24 hours before.
- There are 15 minutes clear after every session.
- Before booking, your page asks: “What should I read before we talk?”
Your engagement letter opens with this: Advice is given in good faith on the information you share; decisions and outcomes stay yours.
What’s different for procurement consultants
The invoice where finance wants it
Your client taps Bill someone else on the invoice and names accounts payable, and the reminders go there.
A monthly slot for renewals
A monthly offering holds time for the contract renewals and negotiations after the review, renewed on the company’s card.
What gets in the way
The operations director hires you, and the invoice disappears into a supplier queue.
Contracts renew on dates nobody tracks, so savings found in March are lost in September.
Companies want to pay a share of the savings, measured a year later.
What it doesn’t do for you
There’s no spend analysis tool, no supplier database and no automatic share of savings. You invoice the agreed fee from the client’s row.
