The Truth About “No Upfront Cost” Telecom Savings Programs

May 21, 2025

If you’re skeptical about “no upfront cost telecom savings” offers, you’re not alone. It sounds too good to be true, but in the right hands, it’s not only real, it’s remarkably effective. The key is working with a partner who knows where to look and how to deliver results without disrupting your business operations.

Here’s what you need to know about how it works, and why it could be the smartest financial decision your business makes this year.

How Contingency-Based Telecom Audits Work

A contingency-based audit means exactly what it sounds like: you don’t pay a dime unless we find you savings. At Prelude Solutions, we front-load all the analysis, audit, and negotiation work.

It’s a performance-driven model with zero risk and high reward.

Why Businesses Need Partners to Recover Overpayments

Many overcharges are hidden in outdated service agreements, obscure line items, or simply services no one remembers signing up for. Vendors aren’t going to call attention to them. That’s why you need experts who can dig deep, spot inefficiencies, and negotiate directly with providers.

Recovering overpayments isn’t just about spotting an error, it’s about having the experience and leverage to fix it.

Over $1 Million Recovered Through Expertise

One of our clients, a global retail organization with complex telecom infrastructure, suspected they were overspending, but didn’t know where to start.

Here’s what our audit uncovered:

  • An outdated and unused fire alarm point-to-point circuit, quietly draining funds every month. We eliminated it and saved the client $78,000 per year.
  • Multiple phone lines scattered across five different carriers. By consolidating these into one streamlined solution, we improved reliability, boosted service quality, and achieved more than $1 million in total savings.

Our client put it best:

“We always knew the savings were there, but we never had the expertise or time to go after them with the tenacity that you (Prelude) did.”

Why “No Upfront Cost” Works

In today’s business climate, spending money to save money doesn’t always make sense. But recovering overpayments through a no-risk, no-cost audit? That’s smart business.

At Prelude, we do all the heavy lifting, from usage analysis and contract reviews to renegotiations and provider accountability. You focus on running your business. We focus on saving it money.
