Steering a growing business towards consistent profitability is a worthy goal for any small-business owner. Even so, it’s often those seemingly small expenses that can nibble away at profits.
Don’t let those cellular phone expenses give you a coronary when you open next month’s phone bill. Although those cellphone minutes aren’t entirely equivalent to running up a taxicab meter, many cellphone plan providers do stand to gain a little extra profit at your expense. That’s particularly the case when your phone usage triggers those annoying overage fees.
A lot of entrepreneurs are simply too busy to keep tabs on employee cell-phone usage. It can feel like you’re trying to navigate a Byzantine maze to find out just how many low-cost minutes are left on the cellular phone plan. Frustratingly long waits to obtain that data can tax a business owner to the point of distraction, and that’s not good. Business owners should view their allotted work time as a nonrenewable resource that shouldn’t be wasted — especially waiting on hold for a service provider to give you usage information on your own cellular-minutes account.
The frustration only gets worse when you factor in how you feel after you’ve been left on hold for 20 minutes, listening to the same short snippet of a tune that became an ‘ear worm’ you can’t forget. That kind of taxing experience not only wastes your time, it often leaves you feeling angry, and that’s not a good thing from a health standpoint. Business owners need to maintain an upbeat attitude in order to successfully overcome those discouraging moments that happen to all busy entrepreneurs.
