Sam Lazarus of Best Corporation, Inc., who is also a ServiceMaster franchisee, in Kansas, has seen significant savings in his business by adopting various cost cutting measures. Let’s hear it from Sam himself -

“With the economic downturn,as a small business owner I have systematically focused on cost cutting. This year, I once again began evaluating every vendor that we have – from phones (cell and landlines) to insurance providers, from utilities to property taxes,” says Sam.

Here is a partial list of vendors Sam looked at and how he saved money -

1. Cell phones: We cut off on a spare line. Analyzed all lines based on 12 month usage and dropped a few, and kept a few at the same plans. This saved the company about 12 percent per month.
