Rescue Your Paycheck: Renegotiate Your Bills & Save Big

End of Financial Quarter (March, June, September, December)

Companies often have quotas to meet at the end of each financial quarter. This can work in your favor as representatives may be more willing to cut deals to meet their targets.

Why it works:

• Sales reps may have more flexibility to offer discounts
• Companies might be trying to boost their numbers before reporting
• New promotions are often launched at the start of a new quarter

Real-life example:
Mike, a teacher from Chicago, called his cell phone provider at the end of June. The rep he spoke to was eager to hit their quarterly goal and offered Mike a new plan that saved him $25 a month, plus threw in an extra 5GB of data. That’s a $300 annual saving, plus more data to stream his favorite shows!

How much you can save: End-of-quarter negotiations can often yield savings of 15-20% on services, especially if you’re willing to sign a contract or bundle services.

Tips for getting started:

• Mark the ends of financial quarters on your calendar
• Research any new plans or promotions launched recently
• Be prepared to commit to a contract if it means significant savings
