Cost savings for a good cause.
10.000 € Bet stake
The procurement consultancy KLOEPFEL is betting its fee on uncovering savings in procurement of €10,000. If we lose, we will donate the fee to a charity of your choice; if we win, you will. In the end, a charity wins either way.
The Rules of the game
Specifically, we bet that we will do business with companies from an annual turnover of:
• A – 50 million €: minimum 100,000 € savings
• B – €100 million: at least €250,000 savings
• C – €500 million: at least €1 million in savings
in your direct/indirect purchasing.
„It's a good bet, and I hope to be able to tempt you into taking part."

Customer testimonials
„The decision to proceed with this project was also made very easy for us by Kloepfel Consulting's fair remuneration system, which is financed exclusively by the savings achieved and therefore represents a clear cost risk.“
„Shirt-sleeves, pragmatic, team-oriented. In other words: no out-of-touch consultants, but doers. Furthermore, every project step was transparent to us through, for example, reports and prior discussions.“
„It was also lovely that there was a learning from each other: not only did Kloepfel manage to provide us with new, enriching connections, but we were also able to facilitate contacts for network expansion. This meant it was a two-way participation.“
