Telecom Cost Reduction Options: Auditing Co. vs Reseller (CLEC)

Elizabeth Supica, VP

If there is one thing we have learned over the many years in this industry it is the fact that not all telecom cost-reduction solutions are created equal.

There are many companies in the marketplace that will “guarantee” a set percentage of cost-reduction savings across the board.  These companies employ dozens of high-powered sales reps (on commission, of course) that are relentless in extolling the benefits of huge savings to CFOs, CIOs, and others who are in the telecom decision making department.

If only you’ll turn over all of your telecom services to them,  then you will reach the telecom “utopia of savings” that you have been looking for!

When you find yourself in the midst of these types of sales pitches, be aware that many of these companies are simply resellers of telecom services – NOT true telecom auditing firms.

There are major differences between the two.

I recently had the pleasure of being on a podcast where I addressed many of the issues that should be considered before turning over your business to a reseller (i.e. CLEC) of telecom services.

The podcast is roughly 10 minutes long.  Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this topic.
