In this brief presentation, Matt Vaadi recounts a recent internal cost‑saving discovery by teammate Jason Gullett, who identified a $1,500‑$2,000 annual expense reduction. Vaadi then describes a third‑party negotiation service that claims to cut vendor bills but takes a 25% commission on any savings. Reflecting on both examples, he proposes that the leadership team should directly renegotiate software and service contracts, capture the full savings, and reward employees who surface or execute those reductions, thereby eliminating the need for an external negotiator and aligning incentives internally.
