Case Study - David Lowe
Sussex-based David Lowe has recently reached a milestone on his Auditel career, having invoiced his one-millionth pound earlier this year.
He reflects, "I'm still amazed that I had the guts to take the plunge into self-employment. It was completely out of character for a thoroughly 'corporate man', but Auditel has given me an earnings capacity far greater than my expectations."
David continues: "It isn't always easy but it certainly is rewarding. My business has developed further than I imagined possible and many of my clients now use me on a retainer basis to manage all their utilities and communications issues." One such client is national restaurant chain Pizza Express, for whom David has saved almost £3million!
David is quick to recognise the formidable power of running his business as part of the Auditel network and says: " Each franchisee is far more capable than their individual abilities because knowledge and ideas are always shared collectively. The extent of the Auditel network's combined knowledge bank is a huge attraction to clients and prospects because we have such a broad range of backgrounds, experience and expertise. They know by engaging a single consultant they are in fact gaining access to the collective wisdom of more than 100 experts."
Taking into account the incredibly low overhead costs in running an Auditel business and it becomes immediately clear of the immense potential and reality of the earning capacity of this extraordinary franchise model.
The opportunity within Auditel is greater than it ever has been. David confirms this, 'The ability of suppliers to 'get it wrong' never ceases to amaze me, and they're getting worse, so our opportunity to 'put it right' is, if anything, increasing'.
When asked if he would do it again, he is keen to point out, "I could not have got a daughter qualified as a vet, flown on one of the last Concorde flights, nor done many other things without my Auditel life!"
