Time To Renegotiate With Your Service Providers

Are you noticing all the promotions on TV these days? Well take advantage. Look at the services you use and see if you can renegotiate a better deal for yourself.

Get on the phone. Call your cable provider. Let them know you want that promotion they are currently running in the case of Dish Network for example. Are you using one company for phone another for Internet and yet another for cable? You should be able to find a company that can bundle some if not all three of these services.

Call your Credit Card Company, Insurance Company. Massachusetts recently change the way auto policy premiums are calculated. They were previously set by the state. There is now free competition. I called around for a better rate, decided to stay with my company as the amount were basically the same. But by comparing, I found out my insurance company gave a 5% loyalty discount on the policy for being a customer for over 5 years. I had no clue they had a loyalty discount.

Call your Cell Phone Company, if you have been a long time customer you may be able to get some type of discount or perk. A lot of service companies will do this you just have to pick up the phone and ask.

In this day of the cell phone I don’t know why anyone would use a landline phone. If you do feel you want one go with magic jack... It will cost you about $20 for the year and works like a regular landline phone. I did a review complete with video. To see that blog post Click here.

Now get a list together of all the services you use. Find out if any of them are running promotions to get new customers. If so, call them and negotiate that rate for yourself. Even if there are no promotions talk to them and ask them what can they do for you to keep you as a customer
