Sifting Through the Options

There are days I find it difficult to contemplate just shopping around for a new cell phone plan for car insurance policy. It feels to me a lot like buying a mattress. The products are all so similar that I can barely find the justification for price fluctuations between companies. Then, I just get confused and decide to stay with my current company for a couple more months.

I have an old employer who is setting up a new business. He hired me to do odd jobs like design his logo and help choose communications providers and office software. I’m hoping that once the business takes off, there might even be more work for me. Right now he is trying to decide to whether to go with refurbished used cisco or brand new ones. I have heard that it is always best to just go for the new models and equipment, but he has a sales guy giving him a pitch. You know the drill. He is just as confused as I get when I start looking at those cursed cell phone plans. And, when you are not an absolute expert on a subject, you want to be able to trust your sales person to give you all the information you need to make an informed decision – when in actuality, it is a very biased process.

Thanks goodness for the myriad of review sites you can access online. You just have to apply some common sense in interpreting the opinions of others and then an more informed decision is yours for the asking.

Cell phone plans still confuse me, though.
