So how has 2009 been for your company thus far? Have you been hitting your sales targets this year? I hope, for the sake of your business, that you have answered both of these questions in the positive; I am however fully aware that the majority of the readers of this article will in fact be struggling. I meet a lot of business people in the course of an average month, here in the UK, and I have to say that many of them are stating that conditions have never been so tough.

So what can a business do in order to survive this recession? Well a number of the company directors that I have spoken with have contracted a cost reduction service to enable them to reduce their business overheads. Having this extra pot of cash, from the savings that they have made, is of massive benefit as we are all very much aware as to how scarce money is right now.

Just a quick point before I continue; I am not a cost cutting expert therefore please do not think that I am trying to sell you something here. I am in fact a person who offers various forms of stuttering treatment aimed at helping people to achieve fluency.

In which areas could a business potentially reduce their costs? There are, of course, many however the more obvious ones would be the electricity, gas and the telephone. Then there are the telephone charges; there are many company’s now offering a “cheap phone calls” to mobile phone service”. There is also cleaning, gardening, broadband, I.T, to name a few others.

There has never been a better time to think about ways in which your business could cut costs. This has been some what of a painful recession and business owners, chairman and company directors need to take the necessary steps to ensure that their business survives.

Are you becoming frustrated at how much are you being asked to pay when making a mobile phone call? How would you like to pay less for your mobile calls each month for the same usage? Would you like to be able to use your mobile phone abroad without it costing you the earth? Now I am not sure about you but until recently I would have answered all of these questions with a yes. I was not going to accept these crazy charges and have now managed to obtain mobile call rates which are at a much more reasonable level. It is now great to be able to make such cheap mobile calls and to achieve such a large business cost cutting.

Now I would like to make it clear that I am not attempting to sell you something here. I am by no way an expert in the field of offering cheaper communications; I am in fact somebody who sells bargain holiday deals.

I suppose my whole frustration with the amount that I was being charged in conjunction with my mobile phone usage came about after I returned from Lanzarote last year. I had spent a couple of weeks over there on a family holiday in the resort of Playa Blanca. I made three telephone calls on the mobile (for a fairly short period of time) and sent four text messages during this two week period.

When the monthly mobile telephone bill arrived, three weeks after our return to the UK, I could not believe the amount they had charged me. I could not undertand it, I thought it just had to be an error. Below was the reply that I received from one of the customer services workers:

“These are our rates when phoning and texting from abroad”.

I then decided to start searching on the net for a company that could offer me a better deal. I went onto Google and after making a few searches I was able to obtain a much cheaper rate.

So Dubai is struggling to repay its debts – who didn’t see that one coming? Gold plated this gold plated that – it is one thing to be flash but you need to be able to pay the money back at the end of the day. At the end of the day Dubai are not alone in finding things a little troublesome at the current time. Many of us are in need of a little help and this is where we need to start becoming a little more prudent with our finances.

I used to work for a very professional group of cost reduction experts; they would help businesses as well as individuals to save money on their monthly bills – from cleaning to obtaining cheap mobile calls they knew about cost cutting.

The most popular form of saving money is known by obtain cheaper telephone call rates. These charges vary greatly between companies and it is very much worth the effort to shop around in the quest to find an organisation that will grant you cheap calls.

Next up is our electricity and gas bills. Once again with a little bit of effort by way of sourcing the best deals could help to save us one heck of a lot of money.

What about our savings? What rate of interest are you receiving for your savings? Is it a competitive rate in comparison to other banks and building societies? You will be surprised just how many people are on rates as low as 0.1% and have no idea that they are only getting back this small amount.

Now I am not involved in any of these industries anymore and I am merely writing this article to make people think about ways in which they can improve their finances. I am now working in a career selling external doors and I also offer a web promotion service on a part time basis.

As you have seen from the above paragraphs there are many ways of saving money for those of us who are willing to spend a little bit of time sourcing the best deals.
