Number of Seats/Users: Tier1 offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows Tier1 that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from Tier1. Tier1 reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: Tier1 offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from Tier1. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Tier1 often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase our internal data shows that Tier1 is perceived as a high‑value CRM, especially for teams already living in Salesforce and capital markets workflows.

From what Spendbase clients tell us, the main strengths cluster around:

• Fast access to critical client data
• Users like that Tier1 surfaces “critical information… all at once” inside Salesforce.

• This reduces context switching and helps front-office teams act quicker on opportunities.

• Ease of use and setup

• Multiple clients highlight:
  • Smooth implementation of the Allegro app
  • Intuitive UI once users get familiar with it
  • Strong support during onboarding

• This typically translates into lower hidden onboarding costs on your side.

• Sales effectiveness

• Spendbase clients frequently point out:
  • “Sales has been amazing”
  • Tier1 helps them identify and manage revenue-generating interactions
• In practice, that means higher utilization of licenses on the sales side, which improves ROI per seat.

Our internal data also flags a couple of recurring friction points:

• End‑user learning curve
• While admins find it easy to implement, front‑line users often need:
  • Extra training time on the Allegro app
  • Clear internal best-practice guides

• When budgeting, it’s wise to factor in training and potential productivity dip in the first weeks.

• Performance considerations

• Some Spendbase clients note the software can be “a little slow,” though they often expect this to be addressed.
• For larger teams, performance SLAs and environment sizing should be part of your negotiation.

From a Spendbase discount and cost-optimization angle, Tier1 typically fits best when:

• You are heavily invested in Salesforce and want to avoid building custom CRM features.
• You can commit to:
• A structured rollout plan
• Focused onboarding for relationship managers and sales
• You negotiate around:
• Volume-based pricing for larger teams
• Support and training packages
• Performance guarantees

In summary, our internal data shows that Tier1 delivers strong value in capital markets CRM, especially when you plan for user adoption and secure commercial terms that reflect your scale and performance needs.
