Yes you dont tell them upfront thats how much it saves. You sell your services as "they dont pay unless you save them money" then you get a percentage


Could do it that way, or offer a guarantee like save X per year or it's free.


He can’t tell them anything before he actually sits down and has a long conversation with the customer and determines their current state. “Consulting” is as much about understanding the customer as understanding technology.
