Revisiting Traditional Costs and Reaping Big Rewards

With higher fuel costs and pressure on interest rates, many businesses expect that the financial impact in ’07 will be significant. But while most managers are looking at ways to cut fluctuating costs, some smart businesses are taking a fresh look at their traditional costs and finding significant savings. Most importantly though, these companies are not lifting a finger - someone else is doing all the work.

There is an emerging breed of business: Services Brokers, and these businesses are being used more and more by intelligent managers looking to cut costs without giving up scarce internal resources. And often the services provided are entirely free, which creates an abundance of willing participants.
Brokers for Telecommunications, Gas and Electricity are operating to find savings for small businesses. Aussie Phone Brokers and Energy Brokers are two examples of such companies. Aussie Phone Brokers provides a 100% free service and uses over 500 plans - plans from every major Telco. Phone bills are reconstructed using call-by-call recalculation, which gives businesses their accurate answer across all the carriers.
As Alastair Sutherland says: "This is a service for small businesses; for people who don't have the time to calculate their best offer or to learn the industry. I firmly believe that no well-run small business can afford to have a key member of staff tied-up for two solid weeks, so Aussie Phone Brokers was born.
"So far, we have found an enormous business need. We saw that this major business cost should be accurately analysed to give the business owner the real savings available. Before us, people were just guessing their best deal - and then worrying about their decision. We have made it simple, accurate and independent - and I am very proud of that."

Energy Brokers focus on electricity and gas brokerage for businesses on the East coast of Australia and South Australia. With billing of over $100m annually, Energy Brokers are obviously providing the right service too.

Business Consultants are beginning to see these Services Brokers companies as an additional service to be provided to their clients. What could be better than using a free value-add service to increase client benefits and satisfaction - and not lifting a finger to do it. The smart money is always with consultants who provide a full service for their clients.
