Episode notes

Episode 114 of Enterprise Tech with Fexingo dives into the hidden weapon in enterprise software contracts: performance guarantees beyond uptime. Lucas and Luna break down how a Fortune 500 retailer used a latency clause in its CRM contract to shave 18% off its annual subscription fee, and why more procurement teams are demanding service-level agreements tied to specific transaction response times, data throughput, and error rates. The hosts walk through the three most common vendor pushbacks and how to counter them, plus the one metric most companies forget to negotiate. If you're involved in enterprise software buying or renewals, this episode gives you the playbook to turn vague promises into concrete, enforceable commitments. #Fortune500 #EnterpriseSoftware #Procurement #VendorManagement #ServiceLevelAgreements #PerformanceGuarantees #SoftwareContracts #Negotiation #CRM #ERP #SaaS #Latency #Uptime #DataThroughput #ErrorRates #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
