It's good practice to review your supply contracts regularly, to make sure you are getting value for money, but how many of us let things run because it's less hassle? ... If its not broken, don't fix it. This is understandable, but perhaps a little foolish, unless you have money to burn, that is.
In the current climate not many of us have the luxury of plenty. We would all be wise to revisit our supply contracts - from mobile phones to office services and stationery - and check-out the competition for the best deals. They are there, just waiting for you to ask the right questions and find them. The problem is often a lack of time, but what if you had someone available to do the legwork, seek out the best deals and make the necessary arrangements ... would you hesitate?
Having a Virtual Assistant to hand is deal for many busy professionals and business managers. This type of work fits neatly into an Outsourced Admin Service as an everyday task. At Office Lifeline, we are constantly researching the market for better deals for our clients, and sometimes even we are amazed at the savings that can be made. For one client their VA negotiated a 25% discount on their annual Bottled Water contract and for another, their VA managed to reduce the cost of their Washroom Supplies massively from £738 to £125 pa ... that's more than 80% cheaper, astonishing! It just goes to show what suppliers will charge unchecked.
