Unique Expertise

Sherwood Forest negotiates hundreds of contracts each year for clients nationwide. Since we have an insider’s view of the current market landscape we bring a unique expertise to our clients. Knowing the contract terms from different sales regions of your vendor is a huge benefit when it comes to negotiations. We bring powerful strategies that combine our collective industry knowledge and decades of success for world-class results.

Operational Consistency

When you work with Sherwood Forest you will not have to switch vendors unless you want to, your operations will continue without disruption and there will be no change in your current processes. The only change we guarantee is a change in the amount of money you save. You’ll see lower costs and a more profitable bottom line thanks to the revenue streams we often uncover.

Performance-based Fee

After helping a client negotiate we then review billing with the newly negotiated pricing and provide a savings report showing both a “Before Sherwood” and “After Sherwood” snapshot. When our clients give the green light on the savings we captured, we bill them based on our performance. Constant monitoring allows us to report savings in a client-specific spreadsheet each month during the term of our agreement.
