Rethinking the Top 5 Objections to Engaging Fine Tune in FM Services

Alex CarlsonJune 25, 2025Read time: 4 min

Objection

As the overseer of your company’s facilities management budget, you’re likely grappling with soaring expenses due to recent supply chain volatility, inflation, or just routine supplier renegotiations. Our expense reduction consulting service can help you achieve significant savings, but you may have a few hesitations or concerns. Let’s address five common objections to show why our solution is the right choice for you.

Objection 1: "I Don’t Have Time"

We understand your schedule is packed with managing budgets and operations. Our service is designed to save you time. Our proprietary auditing technology quickly analyzes your expense data, identifying inefficiencies without hours of your input. Our team handles the heavy lifting—vendor negotiations, strategy implementation, and ongoing monitoring—so you can focus on your core responsibilities.

Objection 2: "I Can’t Afford this Service"

We eliminate financial risk with our shared-savings fee structure, meaning you have no financial obligation unless savings is identified and realized on your supplier invoices. In most cases, our fees are set as a percentage of the actual hard-dollar savings we deliver, ensuring you only pay for results. For example, we recently implemented a janitorial strategy for a client that generated over $260K in savings, and our fees were tied directly to that reduction—collected only as the savings materialized on their invoices. This approach guarantees a positive return without upfront costs.

Objection 3: "This Won’t Work for My Organization"

Every facility is unique, but our approach ensures our solutions are tailored to your specific operating environment. With over 23 years of experience in the expense reduction industry, we’ve helped diverse organizations—from manufacturing to healthcare, substantially reduce facilities management costs. Our proprietary auditing technology pinpoints savings opportunities tailored to your vendor contracts and operational needs.

Objection 4: "I Don’t Trust Your Product or Company"

Skepticism is natural, but our track record speaks for itself. We’ve partnered with hundreds of companies, including dozens of Fortune 500s. Our team of certified cost savings consultants uses data-driven insights and transparent processes, backed by our proprietary auditing technology. Visit our Case Studies page to read success stories from clients who’ve transformed their budgets with us.

Objection 5: "I Don’t Need This Service"

You may feel your current processes are sufficient, but rising costs and hidden inefficiencies could be silently draining your budget. Our review often reveals routine overcharges, negotiated pricing that is not market-competitive, and program issues that may otherwise go unnoticed. For instance, we recently helped a client optimize their labor usage in a maintenance agreement they were confident was already efficient. Our expertise ensures you’re not leaving money on the table.
