What We Need .... To Begin Saving You Money
1. An understanding between your company and Sands Utility Professionals
    see standard agreement word doc.
2. Permission to speak with your utility providers
    see LOA word doc.
3. Copies of actual bills .... from as far back as the statute of limitations allow, would be most helpful
 
                                                         
Our First Step....
is to acquire as much historical information on the accounts, as possible. This information can be retrieved from your past bills and the contract which the accounts are served. Historical and contractual information is recorded and processed for the objectives of the services you need. 
Examination of past bills for errors
objective: to find money that belongs to you
materials: copies of bills, copy of service agreements
                 that cover billing periods
procedure: Bills are scrutinized to determine if service
                   agreement was followed and charges
                   were calculated correctly.
 
Recovery of refunds for billing errors
objective: to get your money back
materials: copies of bills with billing errors
procedure: This service is usually the second phase of
                  past bill examination. After errors are
                  identified, we negotiate refunds with the 
                  utility, then follow-up to insure collection.
 
Don't Let This Happen To Your Company!
Billing errors beyond the statute of limitations are lost and unrecoverable. Take advantage of our valuable services to stop this needless expense, prevent further loss and, GET YOUR MONEY BACK! 
 
Utility contract evaulations
objective: to determine if your arrangement is
                 cost-effective
materials: copies of past billings, copies of utility
               contracts
objective: Perform analysis of consumptions to
               determine if contract is cost-effective for
               your operations.  
Utility contract negotiations
objective: to get the best arrangement for your
                 accounts
materials: copies of past bills, if applicable
procedure: For an established account we perform an
                 analysis of consumption patterns then
                 consult with you to discuss future growth
                 plans. For a new account we consult with
                 you to understand your expected utility
                 requirements. We then negotiate the most
                 favorable arrangement .... present it to
                 you .... for your approval.
 
Analysis of available pricing options
objective: to get the best prices for your purchases
materials: copies of past bills, copies of current utility
                  contracts
procedure: Perform analysis of consumption profiles
                  and collect information as to what is
                  available for your purchases. Your
                  company is then presented with detailed
                  explainations and cost comparisons of
                  options.
 
Verification of new or incoming invoices
objective: to validate accuracy of billing
                 computations
materials: copy of utility contract, copies of new
                  invoices as they come in
