Your Budget Negotiation Journey
We've spent years helping Australian businesses and property managers find better outcomes at the negotiation table. Here's exactly how we work with you from first conversation to signed agreement—no mysteries, no corporate jargon.
Four Stages That Actually Matter
Most negotiation support feels either too hands-off or weirdly controlling. We've built something different—a process that adapts to where you're starting from and what you're trying to achieve.
Discovery Call
We spend 45 minutes understanding your situation. What's being negotiated? Who's involved? What outcomes would actually help your business? No sales pitch—just questions and listening.
Strategy Development
Within three business days, you'll receive a clear roadmap. We map out leverage points, identify potential obstacles, and build contingency approaches for when things don't go as planned (because they rarely do).
Active Support
During negotiations, we're available via phone or email within business hours. Some clients want us in the room; others prefer prep sessions before each meeting. Both work—it's your call.
Agreement Review
Before you sign anything, we review the final terms together. We've caught problematic clauses more times than we can count. This stage alone has saved clients considerable headaches down the track.
What Makes This Different
Traditional negotiation consultants either charge astronomical fees or provide generic advice that doesn't fit your specific situation. We built elenthyros around a simple observation: most Australian businesses need practical support, not theoretical frameworks.
Our approach focuses on real-world application. Every strategy we develop considers your industry norms, the other party's typical behavior, and what's actually achievable given your starting position.
- Fixed-scope engagement so you know costs upfront
- Direct access to senior negotiators, not junior staff
- Documentation you can reference during future negotiations
- Follow-up check-ins at 30 and 90 days after closing
Typical Timeline
Every negotiation moves at its own pace, but here's what most of our clients experience from initial contact to final handshake.
Week One: Foundation
We conduct the discovery call, gather relevant documentation, and begin analyzing your negotiation landscape. You'll receive our initial assessment by day five, outlining key opportunities and potential challenges we've identified.
Weeks Two to Four: Preparation
This is where the detailed work happens. We develop your negotiation strategy, prepare supporting materials, and run through practice scenarios. Most clients schedule two to three preparation sessions during this period.
Ongoing: Active Negotiation
The actual negotiation phase varies wildly—anywhere from one meeting to several months of back-and-forth. We remain engaged throughout, adjusting strategy as circumstances evolve and new information emerges.
Property Management Focus
Lease & Vendor NegotiationsAbout 60% of our clients come from property management. We've negotiated everything from maintenance contracts to complex lease renewals across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. The common thread? Understanding how to balance tenant relationships with owner expectations.
Corporate Budget Cycles
Internal & External NegotiationsBudget season brings its own pressures. We work with department heads who need to secure funding and with vendors trying to maintain contracts. Both perspectives have taught us how these conversations really work—not how textbooks say they should work.

Our next available discovery calls are booking into July 2025. If you've got a negotiation coming up later this year or early 2026, now's a good time to have that initial conversation.
