Did you know? Business Communications Costs and Employee Productivity

You’d be shocked to know how much money is being wasted on communications… but once you know, you can do something about it! ABC will show you how to monitor, record, and provide detailed reports that work to display important information about what works, what doesn’t, and more.


Personal Phone Abuse by Employees

To start with, there is the issue of personal abuse of communication facilities by employees. This can be quite costly, and without the use of call accounting it can be almost impossible to know about “time theft.” Let Applied Business Consulting examine your current process and show you what you could be saving. Having a strict policy for employees about personal phone time is useful, but not always effective. However, explaining the use of a call accounting system that monitors personal phone usage is an entirely different story. Not only will you be cutting back on the costs of overages but you will prevent and eliminate the problem altogether.

An additional benefit to raising employee awareness of the use of call accounting is that by decreasing problematic behaviors you will also be increasing employee productivity.

Informative Reports

Call accounting is not just about monitoring your employees. It’s about gaining a firm understanding of call expenses. Your new reports will keep track of call expenses for you, and display this information how you need it displayed. You can tailor call accounting to your unique and individual needs.

Common, important information collected in reports will help you to identify unnecessary telephone expenses, so you can eliminate these expenditures.

You can identify any unanswered calls to a specific group to further increase productivity and reduce lost customers.

Using a call accounting report will help you to identify indicators of optimal performance (such as length of call or the best time to answer) and use this information to raise productivity.

Regardless of the size of your business, there are many financial benefits to partnering with Applied Business Consulting. Let ABC install and train your people on call accounting software. In order to save money, you must understand where you are wasting money and call accounting will provide detailed reports that tell you exactly where you’re strong and weak points are.

The past year or two saw a huge increase in innovative, upscale mobile food purveyors working from trucks and selling everything from premium ice-cream to Korean BBQ tacos. Requiring an even lower investment, the next wave could be small-scale culinary subscription services, which allow fledgling entrepreneurs to get a foothold in the food business, and create a steady income and a loyal client base for future business activities.
Pop-up, temporary retail is still going strong, but a new alternative has entered the game: rotating retail. Two spottings: opening soon in Glasgow Airport is Planeshop, a permanent store that brands will take over for a limited time, including changing the shop's exterior graphics to match their identity. And in the Netherlands, BrandNew Stores aims to turn those fleeting pop-up shops into a chain concept, creating fixed spaces where brands can temporarily present themselves in a regular retail environment.
