ERA Franchise Provides Better Quality of Life

Qualified professionals choose to own ERA consultancy franchises for a variety of reasons. The ability to earn a substantial amount of money is, of course, a major tipping point. But more and more people these days also appreciate “quality of life” issues. These are especially notable for ERA franchise owners who love their personal freedom and the flexibility to spend more time with their families. No longer do you have to bow to the 9-to-5 mentality or deal with the stress of managing large numbers of employees or co-workers. Thanks to the ERA support network, you also eliminate your upfront labor costs, which can often create undue pressure on a business owner. Because an ERA franchise is an equal opportunity endeavor, there are no corporate politics to play…your success is all based on results.

All of this leads to a better quality of life, without the normal job stresses, unreasonable hours and long commutes. Isn’t it time that you pursued a career that is satisfying on every level? Let the ERA professionals show you how easy it is to get started.

ERA Business Model Covers Every Detail for Success

One of the keys to selling any service or product is the clarity of your message. When people clearly understand how something can work to their benefit, they are often quite receptive. That is the beauty of the ERA business model…its simplicity and easy to recognize advantages. Typically, ERA franchisees work from a standard 18-month contract, during which time they implement a variety of cost-cutting measures that lead to an average savings of 20% for clients. There are no complex transactions, confusing payouts or hidden costs. In fact, if no savings are generated, there are no fees.

ERA franchisees excel at finding savings in non-core business operating expenses such as printing, merchant card fees, office supplies, courier/freight and business correspondence. As a result, everybody wins. The simplicity and straightforward approach of this business model has led to successful franchise operations in 23 countries around the world. We will be happy to show you how it can work for you…simply, efficiently and consistently.

Operational Cost Management Requires A Systematic Approach

Many factors go into the successful running of a business. In most cases, business owners apply a systematic approach to generating sales and enhancing productivity. In the area of operational cost management, however, often it is a matter of “hit and miss” or, at the very least, a passive, shared responsibility among all personnel. But merely admonishing staff to save on paper, be energy-efficient and limit courier deliveries is not enough to truly generate legitimate cost savings.

Cost-cutting practices need to be clear and consistent. Executives need to find the time to actively review expenses, pinpoint areas for cost reductions and mold staff behavior into a pro-active stance that reflects leadership and intuitive thinking. Should the time or the resolve be lacking for these measures, it might be wise to consider a cost management consultant to expertly manage the situation.

First, you must ask yourself what a consultant might actually do for your company, then you must determine whether the operational cost savings will justify the consultant’s fees. Next, how will that fee be paid? Will it be a fee for service or a contingency arrangement? Equally important is checking the consultant’s track record of success in dealing with a company of your size and verifying their independence from any of your suppliers. Once you have selected a knowledgeable consultant, be sure to review together your company’s goals and needs so there is a full understanding. A quality cost management consultant should be able to provide the systematic approach that is so important in managing your operational costs. Under proper conditions, this can become one of your most predictable and manageable profit centers.

Cost-Cutting…the Hidden Gem of Profitability

Every smart business searches for creative ways to become more profitable. One of the most overlooked profit opportunities, however, lies hidden within a company’s operating costs. Even businesses that stress prudent management of their costs typically overpay by as much as 75% for materials, equipment and services. Clearly, cost reduction management has a valuable role in every company’s bottom line. It begins with diligently questioning the demand for the product or service to be purchased. Is it a strategic or an operational cost? Can you eliminate the need altogether? Is it worth paying more for additional quality? Equally important is the manner in which you build key supply relationships. Never base that relationship on blind trust or, conversely, take a strictly adversarial stance. Try to identify excessive margins in the supplier’s pricing and don’t be afraid to negotiate so you get only what you need. At the same time, suppliers should be treated as partners in an atmosphere of mutual cooperation.

Above all, there must be clear lines of accountability for managing operational costs within your organization. Whomever you hold accountable should have the authority and capacity to act for the entire company, and their key performance indicators should be spelled out in their contracts. You must be completely confident that the person or people entering into contracts with suppliers have adequate market knowledge and negotiating experience. If there are particular costs that you cannot attribute to a particular person’s responsibility, you have probably identified potential areas of cost-cutting and, consequently, profit opportunities.

Remember…never assume that you are properly managing your operational costs. Complacency such as that keeps you from achieving satisfactory results. At ERA, for every $1 million of costs under management we put an average of $200,000 back to our clients’ bottom line. Isn’t that kind of money worth more than a mere assumption?
