Hi Mike,

Thanks for your email.  We appreciate the opportunity you are giving to us and I think our mutual goal is to make sure we provide you a true "apples to apples" savings analysis.  In an effort to do so, based upon your email below, we need to gain some further clarification from you to ensure the assumptions we make in our proposal are correct.  Let me explain.

You state below that the call detail records we have received should be a good sample.  The call detail records we have indicate $1.09 in cost for 91 minutes of traffic.  You might remember that Joey insisted on our call that your rate is $.0098.  This is not what appears in the call detail records attached.  We found only 1 call out of 134 calls that was rated at $.0098.  Dividing the cost by the minutes provides a blended rate of $.01193. 

In an effort to ensure we are in fact comparing "apples to apples", it would seem that comparing our cost to your actual cost reflected in our call detail Joey provided would be the way to proceed.  But we don't want to base the proposal upon your actual cost in the call detail records, only to be told after the fact that the rates in the call detail provided are not what you pay today.  Can you please let us know if we are on the same page that your current rate is the $.01193 rate reflected in the call detail, as opposed to the $.0098 rate we discussed?  Thank you.    

When we spoke I mentioned that we see people quoted SIP/VOIP rates all the time, but that their bills usually reflect something different than was quoted.  If you are getting something different than what Joey was quoted/sold, unfortunately, that's pretty consistent with what we are seeing today from most SIP/VOIP suppliers.  The good news is that we can solve this issue for you!    

One other item we wanted to clarify was your typical monthly minutes.  Joey mentioned when we spoke that you are doing approximately 500,000 minutes per month.  Is this an accurate figure for us to use for purposes of forecasting a month of savings?  

Please let us know on these items, Mike, and we'll have our billing folks complete our analysis for you.

Thanks Mike!

Bob,
It is my understanding that what Joey sent over was a good sample of our types of calls we are making.  Please go ahead and base your numbers on the data provided.  Much appreciated!

  Hello Mike,

  Hope you had a Merry Christmas and are enjoying your holidays!  I wanted to follow up on the cost analysis we are doing for you.  

  When we spoke, Joey mentioned that you currently do about 500,000 minutes per month and that he was going to send along call detail records from a couple of days for us to analyze for you.  If you do 500,000 minutes per month, we anticipated that the couple days worth of traffic would illustrate 20,000-25,000 minutes per day (20-25 work days).  

  Attached is our analysis of the call detail records Joey sent to us.  The file illustrates 91 minutes of traffic and $1.09 in total current cost.  If you divide your total cost by your total minutes, your current cost per minute rate is $.0119, which is higher than the $.0098 rate Joey mentioned you are supposed to be receiving from your current supplier.  

  If you would like us to do so, we would be happy to base our cost comparison on the rates contained in this call detail and then forecast our savings based upon 500,000 minutes of traffic.  But prior to doing so, we just wanted to point out to you that the call detail Joey provided does not appear to have two full day's worth of traffic.  We would ask for your guidance, Mike, regarding whether you'd like us to follow up with Joey to get two full day's worth of call detail, or if you'd like us to just use the information contained in this file to complete our analysis.

  Please let us know how you wish to proceed and we will work to complete our analysis for you asap.  

  Thanks Mike!

  Bob
