But, they are just doing business. Don’t get lured by the offers. Here is a set of questions that you should ask the company you are considering, to make sure that you hire the right one.
How Long you have been in business?

Also, Telecom Expense Management companies working style changes and progresses every year. Many new carriers were created, each with a new system and process.

Who will be performing my Audit?
It is an important and logical question to ask if you are thinking of taking telecom expense management services. Make sure that the company is big enough and your work does not get outsourced to some third party.
Ask them who will be responsible for performing your audit. Make sure that the company that you are interviewing has a proper plan and team to look at your project. Ask them whether they have any solid plan and team to work on your project?
Can I get a case study of your former clients?
Well, expense management companies do keep a case study to show the quality of their work to their future clients. It gives you an idea of the kind of work done by them previously and makes it more clear that whether you want to hire the firm.
So, ask for a case study for a brief idea.
These questions will be very helpful to you in finalizing a Telecom Expense Management company.
