It is an odd question, but it is one that you are not asked enough. Let’s say you are walking down the street and you realize your money clip is missing. Thankfully your id and credit cards are all in your wallet, but you have lost about $400 (not including the value of your money clip). Are you upset? Of course you are! Question is, what are you upset about? Are you mad about losing the 6 or 7 sheets of green paper in that we define as currency? Probably not. You are most likely mad because you had made plans for that money to make your life better in some way.

Now here is another scenario; there is a hole in your pocket and you are continually losing about 2 dollars a day. You wear these pants every day (because apparently you don’t like to shop) and you never figure out that there is a hole. Does this cause the same reaction? I am sure many of you were upset but far less than in the first scenario. However, when you look at the numbers, you would lose $730 a year in the second scenario which is twice as much as that random large amount of money you dropped on your way to work in the first.

The negative reaction we have from quickly losing a large amount of money and slowly losing a small amount of money is human nature. We tend to notice large impacts and grow complacent to small losses. I argue, however, that we tend to lose more money on continual small losses because we ignore them. When we lose big, we tend to investigate and resolve the problem.

Why do we do this? Let’s go back to the scenarios listed above. Why did we not care about the pants having a hole in them? There are two reasons:

1.       People generally don’t pay attention to what they wear or use everyday

2.       Because we don’t think the money was enough to worry about it.

In many business scenarios, professionals let money go down the drain because they don’t understand or recognize there is a problem.  They simply let money filter out of their pockets because they figure the problem is not large enough to worry about. In the long run, some businesses let these scenarios get so bad that they end up losing hundreds of thousands of dollars! So please, for your business, go to a seamstress. Find an expert that can fix your issues and stop your from losing money. That way you can work confidently knowing that you are doing everything that you can for your company.

Every carrier sells a bundle as a money saving option, but does bundling really save your business money?

In some cases yes and in some cases no. The key is to know exactly what services are included in the bundle and what actual costs they are adding for those services.

Example: the carrier bundles a phone line with what they call “unlimited long distance”.

What is not normally known is that unlimited long distance is being charged at on average of $15 to $20 dollars per line. At an average long distance rate of 5 cents per minute this is not paid for until you have used 300-400 minutes of long distance. If you are not doing at least that much long distance, you are literally giving money to the carrier.

So to answer the question yes, bundles can save you money. However, you need to know exactly what is included and that the services being offered are actually services you benefit from.

Hint for Saving Money on your DSL: “DSL” or Digital subscriber line: a technology that allows high-speed transmission of text, audio, and video, usually over standard telephone lines

Has your Business had to call your local phone service provider to add internet or DSL to your account?

Are you aware that DSL can run over a basic phone or fax line, and that many times they add not only the DSL service but an additional voice line for the DSL to run over?

This additional $30 to $45 dollar expense can be easily avoided by, always requesting that the DSL service be added to an existing line such as your fax or alarm line; both of which can co-exist on the same telephone line. Faxes and modems use voice frequencies and are thus unaffected by your DSL service (Note: a filter may need to be added in some situations). By doing this you have cut your line costs or overall DSL expense, sometimes as much as in half, without affecting any of your existing services.

For everything else, there’s Limitless Technology CRS

So this December is going to be tough on the energy bill. We all know that lighting your house up like the Vegas Strip costs an arm, a leg, and some other things you’d rather not lose as well. So the experts at Limitless Technology CRS have come up with some simple solutions to save you money during the year, so you can splurge a little during the holiday season. Here is a list of the simplest money savers we could find.

1. Wrap your water heater in an insulation jacket- During the holidays we all get chilly, and your water heater is no exception. Any water heater model older than a 2004 loses energy through heat escaping its shell. If you wrap the water heater in insulation, the energy will be trapped and you will save about 30 dollars per year.

2. Use weather strips- Just like heat escapes your water heater, it also escapes your house. Your house has many nooks and crannies in which heat escapes. One of the biggest problems is heat walks right out your front door, or maybe it creeps under it. Usually people use weather strips up north in extremely cold weather, but even in Florida, weather strips can save you 30 dollars per year. They even can keep your air conditioning in your house in the hot summer months!

3. Tune your furnace- Every few years, you should get your furnace checked by a professional. It will impact your bill in a small way, reducing it only about 10%. However, it also is a big help to your carbon emissions. When your furnace is tuned, it emits about 1,250lbs LESS carbon than an untuned furnace. Talk about taking a few sizes off your carbon footprint.

All of these solutions save you money, but looking at a bigger picture they also help conserve our environment. People often think that being green means changing all your appliances and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars. Actually, little changes can make the biggest differences. Every penny you save on your heating and electricity equates to a more energy efficient and less polluting environment. So this holiday season give Mother Nature and your wallet the best gift you can give, a little extra effort to make some small house improvements.

Regardless of our reader’s or our political views, we would like to congratulate our new president. Both candidates ran excellent races and Limitless Technology CRS respects both men. What Limitless Technology CRS really wants to stress is how, now that Obama is elected,  does he plan to save your families and our businesses money?

Your Family– Obama plans to extend the payroll tax cuts. What does this mean? This means that employees in the past paid 6.2% towards payroll cuts and now will pay 3.2%.  This simple action will save families $1,500 annually.

If You Have A Small Business– Obama plans to include small business in the payroll tax cuts for the first 5 million dollars of their payroll. They will not have to pay the full 6.2% until the have exceeded their first 50 million dollars net increase in the company’s payroll.

Way To Save on Employment with Obama- Hire a veteran! It is a patriotic way to support your troops and it can also save your company money. If a veteran has been unemployed for six months or more and your company employs them, your company can save upwards of $9,000 dollars on tax deductions.

These are just a few of his ways to save, and each can have positive or negative effect on the economy based on the decisions of US citizens. Limitless Technology CRS however, can only improve your company’s bottom line and welfare.

Obviously Michael’s rare and valuable phones would make him money if he decided to sell them. However, most of us our not lucky enough to make money off our phones. Most companies, in fact, spend way more than they need to to have a telephone line. The average line costs companies $56 per month (that does not even include long distance).

If a company had 1,000 phone lines their cost per month would be about $56,000. The yearly total adds up to a stunning $672,000 a year (and that is just to talk to your customers!). Limitless Technology Cost Reduction Specialists often reduce companies telecom spend by 25%. That means you would 14,000 dollars, a $168,000 yearly savings!

Think about what your company could do with $168,000? Would you start a new ad campaign? Maybe you would hire a few more employees? Or just maybe you would buy your top 168 employees an antique Superman telephone.

Limitless Technology can provide you with these savings, call us at (866) 504 4050 or email us at www.limitlesstechnology.com for more information.

Install Occupancy Sensors in spaces that are identified as unoccupied on a regular basis. Spaces to consider include executive offices, photocopier rooms, and conference rooms. Selection of appropriate spaces requires an accurate understanding of how the spaces are currently used. It may be worthwhile to measure and document space occupancies by simply having someone walk around at regular intervals to see which spaces are occupied. ·

These sensors employ a variety of technologies that can detect heat, motion, sound or some combination of these. Most are adjustable in the amount of motion/heat/sound necessary to switch and keep lights on, and the period of time without sensing before turning lights off.

Occupancy Sensors can result in a wide range of savings, depending on the occupancy pattern of the room and the habits of the occupants as many electric Companies offer incentive programs for installing occupancy sensors. Rebates are paid by each sensor in most cases and other paid by the amount of lighting load reduced.

Personal Tip to Save # 1: When you pay for Apps or Ringtones to your phone, make sure it is one solid fee and not a fee plus a charge every month.

The telecommunications industry’s goal is not to target your company to pay too much. However, if you’re not looking through your bills thoroughly they are probably not going to say anything if you are over paying…

The fact is, telecom companies are not evil, they simply don’t tell you every time their rates and charges go down or if you are paying too much. However, after years of not checking thousands of bills, errors continue to occur and the most current telecom fees available are not apllied, and those small charges and old fees really add up.

The problem is, if you don’t have deep experience in the telecommunications industry you often don’t know where to look for those hidden charges. Experience is something Limitless Technology CRS has in abundance. For instance…Todd Larsen, President and CEO of Limitless Technology, has dedicated 25 years of his career to the telecommunications industry, and he and his staff know all about  those charges the average business person may miss.

Limitless Technology CRS’s only job is to save you money, so if your company doesn’t save, Limitless Technology CRS doesn’t get paid. We are firm believers in helping companies improve bottom lines and become more successful.

If we feel that we can eliminate a phone line cost for you, we will inform you after all the tests have been run and the total benefits of eliminating the line.
