Long Distance Success Story: Example of $10,000 per year savings
Company: A leading online education company
Location: Chicago, IL
Situation:
Reliable telecommunications is critical
in running the company’s business. They make calls all
over the United States from their Chicago, IL headquarters in
order to keep in touch with current and potential customers.
“95% of our new business comes in the way of a phone call.
Every school we deal with is a different entity and we need to
communicate with them. It is important for them to be able to
reach us and talk to a live human being. If the phones don’t
work that won’t happen” said Paula M., Office Manager.
The company had been a long-time customer of AT&T. When they first switched, they
paid $.065/minute but over time AT&T raised their rates to over $.09. Paula realized,
“When that happened, I figured there had to be a better
alternative.”
The Recommendation:
The company turned to SmartPrice.com for
help. After giving SmartPrice.com a little information
on how they use long distance, Allison Scharf, a SmartPrice.com
telecom consultant, ran 7 different quotes for the company. Based
on their callings patterns, bill size and location, she recommended
W2Com, a top-ranked carrier by the FCC. The company switched
to W2Com in April, 2003 and has been a customer ever since.
The Results:
“Our bill dropped dramatically. Since we signed-up our bill
has dropped from $1,500 down to $650 per month. Obviously you can see the savings.”
The 56% decrease in their long distance bill results in savings of over $10,000 per year
for the company, savings that goes straight to the bottom line of the business.
Paula said of her experience with SmartPrice.com, “Honestly
I used SmartPrice.com because I called and got a hold of Allison
right away. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional
on the phone. She was able to research several providers and
quickly work up a matrix for me. She made things easy, I did
not have to do the work. I was able to see the savings and show
them to the CEO.”
