Telecom Audit

Just about every week I encounter someone with concerns over how much they are spending each month on their internet or phone service. It seems that rates just keep going up and up, and then you have to remember those “Other Charges and Fees”. Some of those charges and fees are completely legitimate, but with all of the lawsuits and stories floating around regarding subscribers paying for services they don’t want or need, I wouldn’t blindly trust what is listed on the bill. We have worked with a lot of businesses recently to perform what is called a Telecom Audit – reviewing the current bill for Internet, phone, TV, to make sure that the business is getting what they are paying for, and not paying for things they are not receiving or do not want. Performing a Telecom Audit can be very useful in a couple of different ways. It can help you strip any “junk fees” or any unwanted services or charges from your bill to reduce your “monthly recurring cost”. This one easy step can help you feel like you are throwing less money away every month! The other benefit of a Telecom audit is that it can help you recognize when you are overpaying for the service you are receiving. We have worked with a number of clients to evaluate what services are available from different providers and can often assist them in securing better services for much less than they have been paying. In fact, we recently helped one customer save over 60% of their monthly internet and phone service bills by switching them to a more reasonably priced competitor. That is hundreds of dollars every month that your business does not have to spend! One of the biggest dangers a company can face is to sign up for services and “set it and forget it” never following up to make sure the billing stays accurate. It is all too easy for expenses to get out of control while you are focused on other aspects of your business. Let us help you with that. You should be able to run your business without worrying about “junk fees” or excessive charges costing you money.
