Rescue Your Paycheck: Renegotiate Your Bills & Save Big

Your Contract Renewal Period

This is the golden opportunity for negotiations. Companies are most flexible when you’re nearing the end of your contract because they want to keep you as a customer.

Why it works:

• Companies prioritize customer retention
• You have maximum leverage as you’re free to switch providers
• New customer promotions might be available to you again

Real-life example:
Lisa, a small business owner from Austin, marked her calendar for two months before her internet contract was up. When she called, she was prepared with competitor offers. The result? Her provider matched the competitor’s price and threw in a free speed upgrade. Lisa estimates this saved her business over $500 for the year.

How much you can save: Contract renewal negotiations can often result in savings of 20-30% or more, especially if you’ve been with the provider for a long time.

Tips for getting started:

• Keep track of when your contracts are up for renewal
• Start researching alternatives 2-3 months in advance
• Don’t be afraid to mention competitor offers
