“Yeah. 220… 221, whatever it takes…”
Written by Steve Hernandez on October 14th, 2009It has been particularly wet this month in Oklahoma. It seems a little early for all the rain, but I’ll never complain about an early fall. Weather like this reminds me of the fall days as an undergrad on the best campus in the nation, but I digress. I know this will sound a little weird for a company to give advice as to how to keep our company from prematurely visiting your phone closet, but think of us as your telephone doctors. Medical doctors are paid for fixing your ailments, but would rather see you healthy. Right?
The past few weeks have been busy here at Westwind Digital Communications. The thunderstorms have been strong this fall and I’ve been told when you hear thunder there is lighting. Or is it when you see lighting there is thunder. Can you have one without the other? Hmmmm. Where was I?
Ah yes, busy weeks. The lightning monster has been feasting on unsuspecting and, worse yet, unprotected telephone systems. The key word in that sentence is “unprotected.” A simple $100 UPS battery backup and surge protector will save hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Hundreds if we can replace a few parts. Thousands if the whole telephone system gets fried.
It’s as easy as this. A good salesperson should do a good needs analysis. Based on what they find they should come up with a full package to fulfill all your needs. When looking at the proposal, if there are items that do not make sense to you, simply ask. A good salesperson can justify their proposal and not add fluff. Loooooong story short is do not skimp. There may be ways to cut costs, but just like my dad says, “You get what you pay for son.” In the end, ask yourself, “What will it cost us to go without phones for a few days?”
