Expense Reduction Analysts
Expense Reduction Analysts (ERA) – the world’s number one franchise in business strategy, supply chain and cost optimisation.
About Expense Reduction Analysts (ERA)
Expense Reduction Analysts (ERA) is a supply chain and cost management business consultancy providing strategic advice and practical support for organisations. Joining the ERA network as a franchisee offers individuals the opportunity to run their own home-based, business-to-business consultancy.
The company has 700-plus franchisees in more than 35 countries and has been training franchisees for over 25 years. Collectively, ERA franchisees enable businesses and other organisations to save money and boost their performance, using effective procurement and improved supplier management to promote smarter spending habits.
ERA currently has a network of over 100 franchise partners in the UK; all with a unique background and experience gained during long careers at senior level.
They use their expertise combined with ERA’s business model to provide advice to businesses on how to manage their suppliers, increase profitability and boost market visibility.
To put it simply, Expense Reduction Analysts save its clients money, sometimes hundreds of thousands of pounds, while adding value through its own insight. Franchise partners often become trusted advisers to organisations, giving strategic advice, and implementation support, helping maximise savings and keeping prices low. The company also works closely with client stakeholders delivering additional value to internal teams and often streamlining business processes.
Expense Reduction Analysts consultants:
• Offer professional and strategic business advice.
• Minimise costs without compromising standards.
• Improve internal processes.
• Manage supplier relationships.
• Benchmark prices.
• Conduct tendering exercises.
• Identify and integrate new suppliers.
How does the ERA franchise model work?
Expense Reduction Analysts seeks ambitious, determined individuals to join its business consultancy network in the role of franchise partners.
Committed individuals go on after training to win new business, manage existing business and deliver project work and reports, often forming relationships with clients that last for many years.
The Expense Reduction Analysts franchise business model attracts people from many walks of life – from teaching to the armed forces, from salespeople to managing directors, and from the sectors of finance, retail, and manufacturing.
New franchise partners are initially trained to be all-rounders, or ‘generalists’, so they can build a sustainable business by winning and managing their own clients and doing their own simple projects. As their business and experience grow, each franchise partner is able to ‘specialise’, focusing on analytical or client acquisition work if they prefer.
For enthusiastic individuals the job is interesting, challenging and offers the opportunity to meet a wide variety of interesting people from all over the world.
What locations or territories are Expense Reduction Analysts looking to operate in?
Expense Reduction Analysts is not a territory-based franchise. Franchisees have the opportunity to prospect anywhere in the UK, while also working with the European and worldwide network, too.
This gives flexibility not found in the majority of franchise networks, with someone living in Scotland equally able to work with businesses down south as someone living in London, making it fair for business-minded individuals wherever they are based.
