Dear Friend,
If you are serious about learning how to reduce telecom expenses by conducting your own audit, then make plans now to join me at any one of three Essentials of Telecom Auditing workshops being held this upcoming January 23-24, March 5-6, May 10-11, 2012.
I will first guide and instruct you on the essential telecom auditing skills that are needed to conduct a thorough voice, data, and wireless audit – then walk you step-by-step through the start of your own audit. In no time, you will have the knowledge and skills needed to slash telecom spending throughout your organization!
Why Conduct Your Own Telecom Audit?
As President and CEO of TelCon Associates, I realize that not every company wants another firm to conduct an audit for them. Even with contingency agreements being the norm, an outsourced audit is not right for every organization. If there are staff members that have the time and expertise to handle the audit, why not do it yourself?
Time is always an issue, but work can usually be shifted to allow for the audit. My biggest concern with companies completing their own audits is that even when time can be scheduled, very few staff members have the expertise to find significant savings.
If you have the staff and extra time to do what is necessary, the missing piece of the puzzle is the information and knowledge needed to conduct a successful audit of your own from beginning to end. That is exactly where the Essentials of Telecom Auditing workshop can help!
This past fall, I began conducting hands-on two-day workshops, and the results have been amazing! Participants came loaded up with bills and CSRs to work with during the hands-on sessions. With a small group, it’s much easier for me to assist with the audit process and answer everyone’s questions.
Using the numerous bill and CSR examples I presented in the sessions, everyone in attendance found savings for their own organizations. One participant from a large corporation said,
“I would have walked to this seminar from Michigan for just this one step you showed me in accessing my on-line accounts. Now I see tons of savings on my bills!”
Another attendee actually found several $7.50 telephone sets her organization was leasing from at&t! Companies used to lease phone sets many, many years ago, when at&t was the only carrier allowed to sell telephone equipment.
Virtually Any Size Company Can Cut Telecom Expenses
For years, I conducted telecom auditing seminars for individuals representing some of the largest companies in the world. The attendees were also from mid-size organizations, small firms, and yes, even our competitors. I found that the most enjoyable sessions at these seminars were the case studies, where everyone was given bills and customer service records to review and find savings. The difficult part of the sessions was having 50-100 people looking for savings at one time. Even though we were all looking at the same bills, it was daunting to answer individual questions or to explain an item someone didn’t understand.
With that in mind, I began conducting the smaller, hands-on workshops. The feedback from the Fall 2011 workshops was so positive, I have scheduled four more during 2012. Once again, the attendance is limited to eight people per session!
If you are serious about learning to audit, this workshop is perfect for you!
Here’s what another participant had to say about her experience at a fall 2011 workshop…
“I appreciated the way you drilled down to the basics and then built on that knowledge base. Ending each chapter with real telecom bills, customer service records and contracts, and sticking with me until I actually understood them and found a comfort level, was exactly what I needed. Your seminar was well worth the time and expense – and then some!”
So join me in Kansas City in 2012 for a comprehensive, hands-on, telecom auditing workshop. In two informative days, I will teach you essential telecom auditing skills and then guide you through the start of your own audit. In no time, you will be equipped to slash telecom spending throughout your organization!
BYOB – Bring Your Own Bills!
The fact that each of these workshops will be limited to only eight participants allows for personal, hands-on training that you simply cannot get anywhere else without paying a fortune. Attendees will be given the option to bring their own bills and customer service records along, or forward the bills directly to me before the event. During the workshop, you’ll be able to start your own audit and use this information to analyze and uncover savings.
Because customer service records are such an integral part of any successful audit, my staff will request them for participants that send me their bills before the workshop. My goal is to have every person find savings to take back with them, along with the knowledge and desire to conduct an audit for their own companies.
Who Should Attend This Event?
Telecom managers, accounting and/or procurement personnel, CFO’s, IT staff, telecom auditors, service provider personnel – just about anyone who is now, or will be, actively involved in reducing costs for their own companies or clients can benefit from this seminar.
This isn’t two days of lectures! It’s very interactive between me and the participants. No fluff or boring theory is on the agenda. All the knowledge you gain at this event will be practical and has been proven to work within my own company for 40 years. By attending this seminar, you can immediately begin applying new auditing skills and techniques to cut costs for your organization. I guarantee it!
Take a moment to review the seminar agenda to learn more about the sessions planned, and then be sure to register now for this comprehensive, two-day event.
