Vendor satisfaction guaranteed

You get our written guarantee that any vendor you use on our recommendation will have the service quality, customer service, and rates you need. Your engagement with us isn’t finished unless you’re completely satisfied!

Reliability

One of the big benefits of working with a great cost management firm is being able to rely on an exceptionally knowledgeable, efficient consultant who feels as driven to quickly find the right savings as you do. All members of the Peak team are subject matter experts and experienced negotiators.

Compare this to other players, where some staff may have experience in operations within organizations, some may not; some may have expertise in finance and some may not. Pairing clients with staff who has primarily administrative skills, not cost management skills, is a common practice.

Quick smooth process

You will get the right vendors and the right deals in place more quickly and with less stress when your cost management company has contacts for negotiating shipping, office supply, insurance, merchant card services, telecom, and other savings.

Other consultants may have a lot of knowledge about one particular cost category but no or little knowledge about other cost categories; or, they may lack working relationships with individuals handling the sales or customer service functions within key vendor organizations.

Peak’s intimate knowledge of each services market helps you sidestep the "gotchas" common in cost analysis and get things done faster and without friction.

Detailed knowledge of roles & functions

Your cost management firm needs deep experience in order to quickly answer your detailed questions and keep you abreast of changes. At Peak our core team has negotiated hundreds of contracts over more than a decade.

Other players may be great at quickly swapping a cut-rate vendor for your current one, or may have limited on-the-job experience with the nuances of shaping an RFP, pre-screening vendors, or sheparding an unusual cost management effort through each step in the decision making process.

Recognition

You go the extra mile to be available to your team members and provide them with the best possible work environment. You should have that kind of access and appreciation from your cost management consultant. But high-volume firms may provide an inexperienced and/or low-level representative as a point of contact. Here at Peak, you work with senior professionals.

Trustworthy

You want to work with a cost management firm with all the kinks worked out. Nothing works out the kinks more effectively than negotiating hundreds of contracts over more than a decade – producing tangible bottom line results while making sure staff has all they need to be happy and productive.

If other players may have much more limited experience, it may mean a bumpy ride for the client.

Ethics

You put customers’ needs first – and your cost management firm should too. Peak works closely with each client to understand their unique needs and priorities, and ensure they get the best deal. 

Founder and CEO Van Haas is an industry pro. He is a popular speaker on cost management topics, leads the CEO Forum on LinkedIn, and authors the Lose the Fat Cost Reduction Blog where he often takes on ethics issues. Compare this to other players who may shrink from publicly addressing ethical issues or who may not have status as an industry thought leader.
