SaaS negotiation white papers and buyer side toolkits.
These SaaS negotiation white papers are free, buyer side toolkits you can put to work this week: playbooks, a checklist, a clause library and a renewal calendar workbook. Each one is gated by a short form so we can send the asset straight to your work inbox.
The white
paper library
Eight assets that map to the moments where money is won or lost: the renewal, the new deal, the AI uplift and the contract clauses that hold for the next term.
The SaaS Renewal Checklist
Every move to make in the 6 months before a renewal date, in the order that builds leverage rather than burning it.
Download the checklist →The AI Price Increase Defense Kit
How to answer a 20 to 37 percent AI driven ask: the ROI evidence to demand, the AI carve out clause and the plan without AI.
Download the kit →The Salesforce Negotiation Guide
Editions, Agentforce and Data Cloud credits, with the timing and the concessions that are actually available at renewal.
Download the guide →The Microsoft 365 and Copilot Decision Kit
E3 versus E5, who truly needs a Copilot seat, and the separate agent governance license, mapped to a clean Enterprise Agreement.
Download the kit →The SaaS Contract Clause Library
The clauses that protect a buyer: uplift caps, AI carve outs, seat reduction rights, exit terms and audit protection, in ready language.
Download the library →The Renewal Calendar Workbook
A spreadsheet that maps every renewal date, notice window and leverage point across your portfolio, so nothing auto renews by surprise.
Download the workbook →The Vendor Tactics Field Guide
The named tactics vendors run, from the expiring discount to the deprecation threat, each paired with the buyer side counter.
Download the field guide →The SaaS Spend Brief
One pricing change, and the move to make, every week.
