The Big Reminder – aka A Slap Across the Face

One of the things my wife likes to remind me about is that sometimes I’m a little hard-headed. As a guy, I get a little “proud” of my abilities and sometimes I forget the bigger picture. Some of you guys out there are nodding your head in agreement, I know.

Take for example my latest project, the weather here is starting to really get nice, after all it is Spring. So it’s time to hit the ole’ “honey-do” list and think about the things I need to take care of around the house. One of the items on that list is a pretty time-consuming , manually intensive and somewhat complex deck improvement job.

It will take me several days, a number of trips to the local hardware store, certainly it will cost me money BUT I can absolutely do it.

In the midst of me planning on tackling this beast, I was gently reminded (okay, thoroughly encourage by my wife) that our local handyman might be able to do the job for me.

Initially, I “pa-shawed” the notion altogether. “I can handle this job, probably just as good as he can, and definitely cheaper” I justified in my head.

Then I remembered my last attempt at a project this size and scale. A cold shudder ran through my body. In the end my garage organization project was over budget, took me several weeks longer than I estimated and in the end, I got something that looked akin to a sculpture that would have felt right at home in a Dr. Seuss book. As a point of pride for those of you reading this, the project did work and does what I need it to do, but isn’t going to win any design awards, in the end I could have spent my time more wisely and had fewer cuts and bruises too.

So here’s my analogy of the day for you: what if you were approached today by a highly-capable professional. On the table is the proposal that not only HE do handle something you currently give little time or effort to, BUT was part of your monthly world. In this proposal your professional contractor would :

1. Pay for and supply all the materials needed to complete your project.

2. He would pay his contractors for doing the work, not you.

3. Require NO effort on your part.

4. The end result is professional, accurate, organized and clean.

5. Here’s the biggie, your cost for letting this professional handle your project? ZERO dollars, in fact HE would pay you for allowing him to do the job. Yes, really.

Sounds too good to be true doesn’t it? Who could say no to that proposal?

That’s exactly what most people would think as well – but that is what we do all day long and can do for your company. If you have large phone bills, you’re going to be paying that bill regardless if you have it taken care of by us or not. In fact, if unmonitored, it will more than likely grow.

Your choices are to either care of the job yourself, which you’ll probably not enjoy or face it – unless you were hired as an auditor SPECIFICALLY it is NOT really your job but it is your responsibility. If you’re doing it yourself do you honestly believe that you’re really doing the best job? If you hired a professional telecom cost reduction company like GrayBear, we GUARANTEE to reduce your costs – is there really a reason NOT to do hire us?

GrayBear Resources can do just that for you. If you don’t want to do the job in the first place, why not let someone who can do it for you?
