Why should we need the services of CRS? Our own staff is familiar with all the areas you have listed? There are several reasons why you will find our services helpful. We do not replace your existing staff -- rather, we complement them. We focus on areas and on issues that are not routinely analyzed by most organizations. For most companies, the staff is kept busy checking the major areas of expenditure -- an organization's "core" costs. They have neither the time, the training, nor the experience to look at the areas we focus on.
Do your investigations normally result in changes of suppliers? Not necessarily. CRS prefer to use the current suppliers. In many cases we have achieved significant savings for our client with the same supplier -- and without affecting the long-term relationship. In other cases the savings generated through using a different supplier were even greater still. What we do make absolutely sure of is that whatever the savings achieved -- whether with the existing or an alternative supplier -- the quality of the product and/or service remains the same or improves.
Does CRS's approach work only with certain types of organizations? No, CRS's approach produces significant savings for client organizations of all types and sizes, many of whom have very different business concerns. Wherever there is routine business expenditure, CRS can go to work.
What if you find no possible savings at all? If we are unable to find any possible savings, then there would be no charge for the service. It is an entirely NO--RISK opportunity for your company.
We have a thorough, well-trained and professional staff. They have done an excellent job and I have 100% confidence in their abilities. Teamwork is important. We work with your staff very deliberately and carefully to establish confidence and trust. We work to reassure your staff that our role is to help and support them in their tasks, rather than to criticize or cast doubt upon the integrity or efficiency of their work. We endeavour to convey that we are bringing our acquired knowledge and expertise to help them so that when the project is finished, their own work will benefit. Apart from that, we pride ourselves on the minimal time we actually spend on your premises and on the minimal disruption to your daily work routine.
We run a tight ship and have pared down our costs to an absolute minimum. We really do not think there is any scope for further savings. You may be pleasantly surprised! Many clients felt there were only minimal savings to be made, yet were surprised and very pleased at the level of savings found. Again, it is because we focus on the areas that organizations tend to neglect. This is not a criticism of the efficiency of the organization. It is simply that their focus tends to be on the areas of their professional concerns -- their core business. Our focus is on areas of routine expenditure, which, provided they stay within certain parameters, tend to go unquestioned.
Does my company have to pay large, up-front consultancy fees for the service? Not at all! Your company only pays CRS a fraction of the savings actually realized. Furthermore, this fee is paid over time, while Cost Reduction Specialists monitor your costs and expenditures to ensure that your company is continuing to get the full benefit of the savings.
