Their job will be to educate and onboard clients who need our cost reduction services and guide them through our proven process. The easiest way to think of our franchisees is to envision an insurance agency owner or financial services office owner (Edward Jones for example). Our franchisees will be experts in educating clients on the services we provide and on finding and onboarding those new clients. They will NOT be experts in delivering the savings results in waste, telecom, or utility expenses. Much like the Edward Jones office owner would not be expected to be an expert analyst or stock picker, our franchisees are not cost reduction auditors. Our backoffice staff of highly trained auditors, with over 100 years of combined expertise, provides this function and delivers savings results to our franchisees' clients. The franchisee then gets a share of the revenue for the lifetime of the client account. Our franchisees acquire clients by finding Owners, CFO's, CEO's, COO's, controllers, and VP's of Finance and educating them on our cost reduction services. Almost every business in the nation has waste, telecom and/or utility expenses so the market is quite large. The first step in on boarding a client is to get an appointment with a decision maker. If you can email or call a decision maker and get a face to face appointment, our franchisees average about a 50% close percentage from there. We have a very tried and true sales process that works to on board new clients that franchisees learn during the 3-week initial virtual training. The essence of what we do is simple though. We explain to decision makers we can use our expertise in waste, telecom, and utilities to save them money. We say 'if we can save you money we share in the savings with you each month, if we can't there is no fee. ' This is why we have about a 50% close ratio for in-person meetings. Franchisees who get referrals from existing clients experience about an 80-90% close ratio., contact_first_name=Kris, staffing_requirements_image=https://21052030.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/21052030/form-uploads/5ebf2af6-c2d4-42d4-822d-8da275584d7f/3ef4e265-529e-49a6-b9ba-80d04d79b5ad-2-7178165staffing_requirements_image-bookkeeping-franchises.jpeg, ideal_candidate=Owner Operator Preferred;Relationship Builder;Experience with Sales Leadership;Values Outstanding Customer Service;Business Acumen;Sales or Management Experience, unique_name=P3 Cost Analysts, major_competitors=ERA, Schooley Mitchell, available_internationally=No, priority_status=Standard, services_image_bottom_medium=https://commandcenter.franchisesidekick.com/brand_image/4995470137/services_image_medium_2, sks_item_7_range_high=79035, competitive_advantage_2=We are the only cost reduction franchise that signs our clients up to 5 yr agreements.
