One thing about our office is that we constantly have people taking business trips. We have clients all over the U.S. and around the world as well. The problem is that many times it becomes difficult to decide which expenses are necessary and which expenses are personal. That’s why we decided to use calling cards as a way to separate the two. This idea has paid off in savings to our company.

All we do is give each person a prepaid card with a given amount on it. Our representative then uses the card until it is used up. Then we decide whether or not to issue a new card. The idea is simple but effective. For example, I recently issued a Mexican calling card to a salesman. After using the card, we decided to issue him another so that he could finish his business.

I really like using the cards as they are easy to get and provide low rates. They also prevent us from being overcharged by foreign phone companies that may be difficult to deal with. All in all, the whole thing has worked out nicely. I think every business should look into these cards as an option.

Hard Lessons

August 16, 2009

In this life, we all have to learn some lessons the hard way. One of the lessons I learned was about car insurance. It always pays to have it. I remember when I got my first car and I had set up an appointment for the next day to buy insurance. The problem was that I wanted to drive it home immediately. As soon as I got off the lot I was hit from behind by a truck.

Needless to say, the incident cost me a fortune. To this day, I will never get in a car without insurance! I highly recommend that anyone buying a vehicle should look for car insurance quotes before you drive the car anywhere! I hope you can profit my hard earned lesson!

Since our business is expanding at a rapid pace, we have done many things to ensure that our companies name is recognized. One of the best ways to do so is to take advantage of services that provide an opportunity to meet with our partners. Recently, we partook in a huge meeting that was put on by AZ destination management. They provided all the services we needed that enabled us to hold a huge conference with our Western division.

The best part was the quality transportation they provided. Upon our arrival at the airport we were whisked away to our destination by a fleet of first class vehicles. When we entered the meeting hall we were surprised to see the place decked out with floral arrangements that mirrored our company’s image. It was nice to know that our company didn’t have to worry about putting all this together. They did it all for us.

I think that any company that wants to have a major meeting should take advantage of the professionals that know how to put one together. We were able to concentrate on our business and were not concerned about where we would stay or where we would eat. They took care of everything and made it a pleasant stay. I sure would like to thank these people who can be found at swcp.net who did a wonderful job. Thanks a lot for everything!

A new way to move

July 26, 2009

Our neighbors down the street have decided to move. As I was talking with them about the move, I discovered something interesting. They have found a novel way to use moving trucks to their advantage. They basically found a new system of moving and the idea is unique. It’s called ABF U-Pack Moving and here’s what happens. They deliver an empty trailer to your home. You have three days to pack the trailer and then they come pick it up.

After they deliver the trailer to your new home, you then have three days to unpack the trailer. I thought it was the coolest idea I’ve heard of yet. There are so many horror stories about moving companies, and this idea eliminates all the potential problems. Of course I volunteered to help them load up their things and watched as they said goodbye. I think I’ll try this system if we ever move.
