Any ideas on marketing THIS service?

4 replies
Hey guys,

I have had over 10 years in the cellular industry, selling for Sprint, Verizon, SouthernLinc, and, a little bit of time selling for some of the prepaid options, as well as Cingular/AT&T.

That being said, I am about to be unemployed, and, was thinking about an idea for a service that hit me about 4 months ago when dealing with a formerly large commercial customer.

I thought about offering a personalized service of using my knowledge and experience in the cellular industry to save customer's money, by examining rate plans, usage history, and, seeing if there are better options. It's been my experience that a majority of cellular providers over pay their cell phone companies each month, either by having the wrong plan, the wrong service, or, not being well educated on the options available.

I had initially thought of billing myself as a "consultant" for major companies, but, that being said, I just helped an elderly company that was being overcharged by Verizon for over $100 per month. The recommendations that I just made for them, which added another line of service for their Verizon account, took care of a specific need, and, made them very happy, will keep $1200 a year more in their pocket.

Would such a service do well online? What would such a service be worth? How could it be marketed?

    Sorry about your job

    I think you would be better off helping businesses save costs on phone services

    If someone needs to save money on cell phone it normally means they are watching their budget and probably won't be able to pay you.

    Good luck.

    It's all good. I have several things I can and AM doing, the least of which was getting rehired by the dealer that is moving into the store that I worked at, so, I'll be doing pretty much the same stuff, just making a little less money.

      Now, on the other hand, you could create a blog, and post a few tips a week. Then monetize the blog.

      Then you could write an ebook and sell that.

    That is an idea. It would be cool to be able to be "found" in google by that, and get people to let me go in and "fix" their billing issues/overages, and, get paid for the results.
