"Supplier discounted 33% in return for a case study and logo rights. They were also willing to offer stronger payment terms & billing with 1 month free to allow for stronger cash flow. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"Ionic will discount up to 30% on a 1 year agreement for a case study. We pushed around budget talk tracks and they confirmed the lowest they could go was the 33% discount but were willing to throw in a month free along with quarterly net 45 payment terms for cash flow flexibility. "
