Mr. Dan Konkel of A&D Communications recently completed a year-long analysis of telephone expenses incurred by Las Animas County. Mr. Konkel reviewed expenditures relating to all county offices including the courthouse, sheriff’s department, road & bridge department, human services department, and airport. He reviewed telephone bills for such items as incorrectly charged phone lines and tariffs that should not have been assessed. He also made recommendations for streamlining the telephone system in the courthouse resulting in savings for lines that were not needed. Mr. Konkel also carried out the task of communicating with Qwest and other service providers to make sure that appropriate changes and corrections were made to our telephone billing. His services enabled Las Animas County to realize approximately $25,000 savings in annual telephone expenses. I would highly recommend A&D Communications for providing this type of telephone analysis service.

As a non-profit center we must be fiscally responsible, and with the counsel and actions of A & D Communications we have been able to do just that! Without any up front costs or charges A & D was able to reduce our telephony expenses by 37.5% annually in addition to a $4,000 credit from our telephone service provider. Furthermore, A & D was able to secure a refund from the state of Colorado for overpayments on our electric and gas bills. Contracting with A & D Communications was one of the smartest things we’ve done!

We employed A&D Communications in 2004 to review our phone system and billing statements. Dan Konkel was very professional, and the results netted substantial savings for our company. For example, our February 2004 bill was $12,302.00, and after Mr. Konkel's audit and analysis and the changes he instituted, by September 2004 our phone bill was $6,251.00, a savings of nearly 50 percent.

I am writing in reference to services rendered by A&D Communications for two family businesses located in Trinidad, Colorado. Mr. Konkel reviewed two business accounts with Qwest for overcharges, duplicated charges, unnecessary charges, etc. After our initial consultation with Mr. Konkel, we were confident that he could help simplify and reduce our Qwest bill. Mr. Konkel was very concise and diligent in researching any and all procedures to reduce our monthly phone bill. He was also very helpful in following up with us on a monthly basis until Qwest made the changes that we requested. After Mr. Konkel adjusted our Qwest bill, our monthly charges were reduced by approximately 35 percent on both business accounts. I highly recommend A&D Communications and the services they provide for any business. I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Konkel and feel that we had a good business relationship. I would not hesitate to call upon him in the future for similar services.
