What kind of franchisee is QSXL looking for?
The following are the key attributes of a QSXL franchisee:
Passion
Does the potential franchisee have the drive and ambition to make it work and a passion for selling? There are no guarantees in life, or in business, but the drive to succeed must come from within and success will naturally follow with the company’s support.
Commitment
The role of a franchisee is a very hands-on position. They will be required to work in a fast-paced, dynamic business. The role will be the all-encompassing sales element, supported by QSXL’s extensive experience in the sales process acquired through well over a decade of success. Franchisees should be 100 per cent committed to setting and pursuing their daily sales activities. QSXL makes it easy, all the tech and support is brought to bear for the ultimate customer experience and back office support for the franchisee to focus on consistently winning clients and building sustainable revenue streams for itself.
Outstanding customer service skills
Without the clients, the company has nothing to work with. It is vital to a franchisee’s business and the brand to have a professional sales ‘face’ with the client. QSXL prides itself on giving outstanding service and top-class customer service to its clients, and to its franchise family.
Leadership and business experience
Building a solid team is imperative to any business, especially those in the service industry. Together, the franchisor and franchisee can get a clear picture of their natural talents and strengths, as well as providing support in the areas that a franchisee may find challenging. Armed with the brand’s support, potential franchisees can and will be great business leaders in the industry.
Business acumen
Don’t have industry experience? While it’s advantageous, it’s absolutely not imperative. The brand provides hands-on training to give franchisees the skills and tools they need, but the brand needs potential franchisees to have a head for business and an understanding of their responsibilities as a franchisee and aspiring/established business leader.
What kind of support can franchisees expect?
QSXL provides a fully-integrated system, training and ongoing support. Franchisees can build their business however they want. The only equipment needed is a laptop and a mobile phone, meaning franchisees really can work from anywhere as long as they can access WiFi. Potential franchisees can start out alone, and progress to premises and a workforce when they’re ready. They also have the option of going ‘all-out’ straight away, in a new office, with a newly-hired team. Their business. Their way.
Is QSXL targeting any areas for expansion?
As part of a phased approach, the company initially expects to expand in Austria, Dubai, Germany, the Netherlands, Nordics, South Africa, Switzerland and the U.K.
Financial information
The minimum investment is €20,000 ($21,195). Typically, the sales cycle is about three months, but larger opportunities may take a little longer. Conversely, they deliver greater returns per deal. ROI is projected at well under a year.
What are the terms and conditions for owning a QSXL franchise?
The full franchise contract will be made available on acceptance of an initial application.
Why should entrepreneurs apply to be a QSXL franchisee?
QSXL Stands for ‘Quality Search Xtra Large’ and the company likes to think the XL also represents the opportunity for the franchisee too.
QSXL’s target clients will be businesses in the medium to large enterprise space. Leveraging any existing C-suite commercial relationships will see franchisees off to a flying start with their new QSXL consultancy, and the experienced support team will guide them with proven sales success strategies.
The QSXL brand provides the credibility and systems for any franchise business to work with any scale of business. Following the intensive initial training, the brand’s one-to-one ongoing mentoring will set franchisees up over the first year to maximise the return from their time, energy and skills. The support continues throughout the franchisee’s business journey, changing as their franchise agency develops.
