Negotiating Carrier Rate Increase

Contextual Coaching Tip

"I notice you're reviewing a rate increase from this carrier. Successful negotiators typically include performance data in their response. Your records show their on-time delivery is 89% (below their 95% SLA). Would you like me to draft performance talking points?"
