How Can I save money on my business telephone bill?
- Avoid signing long-term contracts with large commitments which lock in rates regardless of market conditions which may move rates lower.
- Review bills regularly to insure "contracted for" rates are the same as actual billed rates. Telecommunications providers often make errors.
- Review rates annually to insure your rates remain optimal.
- Consider becoming part of a buying group which can leverage telecommunications spend volume for better rates.
- Insure that your voice, data and internet network is designed using service elements which are optimal for your company's specific needs. Needs change. Keep your network design up-to-date.
- Enlist the services of a telecommunications specialist to review your billing, contract and network design.
- Insure your company has a security and disaster recovery plan that is both reliable and cost effective. Disruptions to telecom services are costly and impact mission critical operations.
- Insure cellphone plans are matched to call volume, calling pattern and feature needs of individual cellphone users.
- Replace individual cellphone plans currently reimbursed on expense accounts with a corporate cellphone plan offering higher discounts and the ability to "pool" available minutes of use.
- Avoid niche telecommunications providers who specialize in one telecommunications area where they can offer aggressive pricing, but then "make up" for loss leaders with higher pricing in other service areas. Choose nationwide providers who can provide both aggressive pricing and the latest technologies, as well as reliability. Poor performance quickly eliminates planned cost savings.
