Your "If It Ain't Broke" Tech Is a Ticking Time Bomb
What's the most dangerous thing in your office? It's the 10-year-old server you never think about. Your "if it ain't broke" approach to your IT infrastructure is a ticking time bomb, and it's already costing you thousands. We break down the real costs of this technical debt—from the $20k/year in lost productivity to the catastrophic risk of a total failure.
How Neglecting Your Bing Profile Is Costing You Money
You’re thinking, "Bing? Who cares?" But a huge chunk of the desktop market (especially B2B) does use it, and your neglected "Bing Places" profile is a digital ghost ship. It's likely auto-generated, unclaimed, and displaying wrong information—costing you customers and damaging your reputation. Don't let a free, 15-minute fix be your most expensive liability.
Your Google Business Profile is Free. Your Neglect Isn't.
It's the most powerful free marketing tool on the planet, so how is it costing you money? Simple: neglect. If your Google Business Profile has the wrong hours, unanswered negative reviews, or photos from 2018, it's not a tool. It's a liability that's actively sending your customers straight to your competitors. We break down the hidden costs you're paying for "setting and forgetting" your GBP.
Your Website Isn't a Brochure. It's a Leaky Bucket.
You paid to have your website built, but is it a 24/7 salesperson or a "set it and forget it" liability? Your website is probably a leaky bucket, losing you money every day. We break down 5 hidden ways your site—from being slow and broken on phones to having a "Not Secure" warning—is actively sending your customers straight to your competitors.
Is Your Desk Phone Costing You Customers? The Hidden Costs of an Outdated Phone System
Look at the phone on your desk. It seems harmless, but it's probably costing you a fortune. We're not just talking about the high monthly bill. We're talking about the real costs: the missed customer calls when no one is at their desk, the clunky auto-attendants that frustrate callers, and the expensive, slow process of adding a new employee. This post breaks down the hidden ways your outdated phone system is a liability that's draining your profit.
Your Internet Is Fast. Your WiFi Is Slow. Here's the Real Cost.
You pay for 1-Gig internet, so why are your video calls still freezing? The problem isn't your provider; it's your WiFi. We break down the real, hidden costs of "good enough" business WiFi, from "dead zones" draining $10k a year in lost productivity to the massive security risks of a poorly configured guest network. Stop blaming your internet; the call is coming from inside the building.
Your "Good Enough" Internet Is Silently Costing You a Fortune
If you have 10 employees who each waste just 15 minutes a day on internet lag, you're losing over $15,000 a year. Your "good enough" internet plan isn't a saving; it's a massive, hidden liability. We break down the real costs of downtime, lost productivity, and customer frustration—and show you how upgrading your connection isn't an expense, but an investment.
