“Watch Out!
Behind Your Back, Your Telecom Providers Will Rob You Blind!”
In today’s competitive marketplace, you’d think your long distance provider would try and be as honest as they can… and give you their best service possible, just to keep you loyal.
Not a chance.
They are not out for your best interests… they’re too busy making money to worry about any “insignificant little billing errors” as some of them have been known to say.
“Over 94% of all bills the phone companies send out are wrong.
As bills get more complex, the billing gets worse.”
-Teleconnect Magazine
Admit it… as your company has grown in size and complexity the internal infrastructure has gotten incredibly difficult to manage and audit on an ongoing basis.
Look at all the things you need to be in control of now; local calls, business long distance calls, VOIP, WAN, LAN, T1 connections, remote offices, cell phones, pagers, Blackberrys, data lines… the list goes on and the headache gets bigger.
As employees move and get added, it becomes near impossible to stay on top of all the active and dormant lines you need.
To add to that… each different telecom related service has different billing practices, different rates, billing cycles vary and hidden clauses you never knew of.
Who honestly has the time to track down every long distance bill, every charge, back track and trace the rates you get now compared to the rates you signed up to get?
You don’t.
Or, at least you probably have a million other things you’d rather being doing.
Granted, you can do the audit yourself to find ways to save money and reduce your monthly telecom expenditures. There’s a certain procedure that’s proven to work best though.
Have a look at this, and then decide if you want to tackle it yourself, or have us do it for you for free.
Total estimated time for you to do it:
20-50 hours (depending on complexity).
- Prepare a physical report listing out all of your data lines, circuits, etc., in place for your remote office connectivity.Even if you do not use remote offices – this same report must be prepared for your head office as well.
- Inventory all of your related telecom expenses from your recent invoices.Telecom expenses can be as high as 1 to 2 percent of revenue or more depending on your company (and this number is rising every year due to the complexity of many infrastructures).Other factors that must be analyzed; office changes, growth by acquisition (duplication of services), changing demand throughout the year, seasonal fluctuations, and other issues can create situations where there is “easy pickings” by looking at what you’re paying for and what you truly need.
- Compare what you should be paying for with what you are being invoiced for.And be prepared to be shocked. The numbers don’t lie – and often our clients are seeing 50% reductions in monthly expenses due to this problem.
“Substantial payback exists for telecommunications auditing functions. Organizations should establish strategic relationships with third-party companies to ensure accurate billing.”
