As I write this post tonight, I must admit one thing.......my tourney bracket is already destroyed!!
Okay, so back on topic!! I want to make sure that we first understand what this post is attempting to do. First, I am trying to sell you something. Yep, I said it!! Two, I am going to attempt to uncover a problem that your organization may or may not know that it has.
So now that we have that behind us, let me explain a little about what the title means. Of course you know what measuring means. Any business measures something. Productivity, time to market, cash flow....something is measured. Then, when something gets measured, it also begins to be monitored. Benchmarks are put in place, standards are set, and goals are written down.
Companies who monitor their measurements become more efficient, get more done, and are able to consistently raise the bar against themselves.
But, does your company measure expenses? What about landline and wireless communication expenses?
Quick fact: Wireless customers place over 4 million calls per month to their carrier for billing errors.
Another quick fact: Add up all the billing errors that occur from wireless and landline carriers and it equals millions of dollars PER MONTH!
Measuring and monitoring these bills is not crucial to daily operations, but how much of the millions in billing errors per month are you being charged? Do you know? If you don't, it's okay. Most companies don't know. Most companies are doing more with less and just do not have the time to audit a bill from front to back in search of those errors or waste. So, they rip open the bill, check the amount due (which just happens to be conveniently located on the first page, and in bold), and then cut the check.......end of story. What you don't realize is that you more than likely just wrote a check for 25% more than you should have.
If you are not currently utilizing a telecom expense management company, I highly recommend that you do so. You do not have to choose OneBridge, but I hope that you would give us the opportunity to compete for your business.
OneBridge employs former wireless and wireline executives that understand what your bills say, understand rate plan matrixs, and know the correct steps to shave every penny off of your bills that should not be there.
Some of the benefits that our customers realize are:
- - 25% + monthly savings on wireless bills (without sacrificing the features and extras that employees currently have)
- - Equipment pricing that is not advertised
- - Monthly discounts based on certain criteria
- - Monthly in-depth reports that allow monitoring of usage trends, high spend users, and waste
- - Web based applications that allow the management of inventory, general ledger or job cost coding, and paperless bills
If you feel like your company is spending too much, or just want us to take a look and make sure your costs are as low as they can possibly be, the next step is simple.
Call our offices at 877-212-4828.
One of our consultants will be glad to speak with you on your current telecom situation. We can then schedule a time to dig deeper into your bills to figure out where the waste is, what services are needed, and how we can move forward.
Best part................the consultation is free. You are not obligated to do anything. If we find nothing, you owe nothing. It's that simple.
You can also send copies of your wireless and wireline bills to us at sales@onebridgewireless.com.
Until next time,
Thomas Sayle
