The biggest drive in negotiation success is having a BATNA (Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement). Without a BATNA you lose negotiating leverage and will continue to see spiraling license cost to the benefit of ServiceNow shareholders, executives and commission hungry sales reps. With each product release and the bundling of features and updates to the ServiceNow pricing model, more and more customers are looking for alternatives for their Cloud-based ITSM Software than ever before.
