In today’s parcel-driven economy, your small-package carrier agreements with UPS and FedEx directly impact your bottom line. Yet few shippers truly know whether they’re receiving market-appropriate rates—or leaving massive savings on the table.

That’s where Business Solutions Group becomes your greatest competitive advantage.

For more than a decade, we’ve successfully coached thousands of clients through carrier contract negotiations, collectively saving them over $1 billion. With typical savings ranging from 15% to 40%, our proven process consistently uncovers opportunities most shippers never know exist.

And the best part?
Our clients don’t pay us a penny unless we deliver the savings we promise.

At Business Solutions Group, we believe:

  • The process works—every time.
  • We do exactly what we say we’ll do—or you don’t pay.
  • Time is money, and efficiency is non-negotiable.
  • Results come fast—typically within a few weeks.
  • We’re so confident in our four-step system that we guarantee the results.

Whether you ship 200 packages a week or 200,000, negotiating your contract without expert insight is like entering a boxing match blindfolded. The carriers know their playbook. You should too—and that’s precisely what our team brings to the table.

Step 1: Benchmarking — Where Real Negotiation Success Begins

Powerful negotiations start with data, not guesswork.

Before you ever sign an agreement with us, our team performs a complete analysis of your parcel shipping history. Using our proprietary database of market-appropriate rates, we determine exactly where your current contract falls short.

We uncover savings hidden in the fine print—fuel surcharges, minimums, routing logic, delivery area surcharges, dimensional weight rules, and dozens of other cost drivers most shippers never identify without expert support.

Our benchmarking process takes just one week and includes:

  1. Full analysis of your parcel invoice data
  2. Establishing a clean and accurate baseline
  3. Projecting market-appropriate rates for each service and surcharge
  4. Determining your total savings potential

And we do all of this up front—before you pay anything.
If we don’t find meaningful savings, you owe us nothing.

Step 2: Building a Negotiation Strategy That Works

Once we understand your data, we shift to strategy.

A “good deal” only matters if it aligns with your priorities—not the carrier’s. We dig deep to understand your business goals:

  • Do you need better ground rates?
  • Do you rely heavily on express services?
  • Is predictability more important than flexibility?
  • Do you need multiple carriers for network stability?

With your priorities in mind, we craft a negotiation roadmap that answers three critical questions:

  1. How do we level the playing field with the carriers?
  2. What financial story will compel UPS or FedEx to negotiate seriously?
  3. What negotiation timeline maximizes momentum and leverage?

This phase ensures we enter negotiations with a strong, data-driven business case and a schedule that keeps carriers responsive and accountable.

Step 3: Behind-the-Scenes Coaching and Proposal Analysis

Most shippers don’t have the time—or the expertise—to dissect complex carrier proposals. That’s why we work behind the scenes throughout the entire negotiation, acting as your expert advisor and analyst.

This 2–3 week phase includes:

  1. Reviewing carrier proposals, identifying shortfalls, and crafting strong counter-responses
  2. Evaluating carrier replies, uncovering new opportunities, and strengthening your position
  3. Coaching you through final counter-offers to secure the carrier’s best possible terms

You stay in the driver’s seat.
We supply the expertise, the scripts, the analysis, and the strategy.

With us in your corner, you never wonder whether you're accepting an offer too soon—or pushing too hard.

Step 4: Compare, Award, Implement — and Realize Savings

In the final 2–3 week phase, we bring all the data together to help you make a confident, informed decision.

We:

  1. Analyze final proposals side-by-side
  2. Clarify the value and trade-offs for each carrier
  3. Help you award the contract
  4. Guide you through implementation

The result?
You begin realizing savings almost immediately.

Our total process takes just 6–8 weeks, yet delivers long-term financial gains that dramatically improve your cost structure for years to come.
