Does my business phone plan need long distance service?

Does my business phone plan need long distance service?

As a business startup consultant, I get this question quite a lot - weekly actually at the very least. You can imagine the feeling of small to large business owners that want to maximize and make the most of their time as well as money. Having or not having business long distance phone service can either save or help you to lose $10k+ per year which is a very large amount when you are budget oriented. If you are still reading this then you must want to save your business money or find a service that can offer you more for what you are already paying or less, which is always a great thing.

The first step to saving is knowing what we actually need and what we can do without, do you actually need long distance service and what provider do you have now are good questions to begin with when shopping for the best deal or trying to save money on your existing business phone plan. The reason that I ask if you need the long distance is that several business owners out there opt for long distance with the thought of communicating with a potential prospect or client that may live far away only to get months into the business phone plan and have no use for that particular option. Although now days most business phone plans come with unlimited long distance service depending on the plan that you choose for your business.

Additionally, I always ask my clients who their current provider is and whether they are satisfied with that provider. I always ask this because in my profession we get to know not only the big names but also the smaller names out that influence the market and offer business phone plans. Knowing most of these names helps me to advise my clients if they have adequate service or they need to make a change, for instance I had a client that was being billed an extra $449.95 for just long distance service -- this is pretty awful, as like I said earlier most of my clients get this for free with their plans, wow. This client was amazed at the amount of potential savings that could occur from only a few minor plan changes and information learned - my job basically.

Needless to say I saved him almost $5 thousand dollars per year by giving him the help that he needed. My big point is in doing things like this all the time I've decided to make a completely 100% free (no joke, nothing to buy, I don't even need your email address) to help small and large business owners out there. This helps me to get visitors to my website, frees my time up for other projects with business phone networks and give you, the humble business owner the ability to get things done and save money, all on your own with my free business phone service help.
