Auditel in the running for marketing awards

It’s been an exciting week for the Auditel Network this week. Not only have we recruited our 10th new consultant of 2009 but we’ve been shortlisted for two Franchise Marketing Awards: Best Website and Best Recruitment Advertisement. Winners will be announced at a glitzy dinner on 20th March, which the Marketing and Recruitment Team will be lucky enough to attend. Fingers crossed and we’ll keep you posted as to the results.

A record start to 2009

Auditel's January '09 intake of new franchisees

Auditel specialise in cost and purchase management and are the UK’s leading home-based executive franchise. In January the company celebrated a remarkable record in the number of franchisees recruited for any single month since the company began franchising in 1997. Read more…

Franchising proves the most popular route to starting a home business

Enterprise Nation hosts the UK’s largest website for home-based entrepreneurs and as well as providing hundreds of free resources, advising the government on this increasingly important sector of the economy and running the annual Home Business Awards they also produce an annual Home Business Report. The latest of these was published in October 2008 and one of the most surprising results (from their point of view, not ours!) was the number of respondents who started their home business by way of a franchise.

There is such a thing as a free lunch

If you’re in the process of researching self-employment opportunities we really think it would be worth your while making a trip to Winchester. Not only is it the historic capital of England, home to a majestic Norman cathedral and a generally ‘very nice place’, but it’s also where Auditel’s main Support Team are based and throughout February we’re hosting a series of Discovery Seminars for prospective Franchisees.

As well as meeting the Support Team, these Seminars are designed to give you a detailed overview of the Auditel business system and to find out first hand how you can become a home-based cost and purchase management consultant.

It’s totally free and no obligation and we promise there won’t be any hard sell, just useful information and hard facts that will help you decide your future career. And if that doesn’t convince you, we’ll even throw in free pastries or sandwiches, depending on whether you come to a morning or afternoon seminar.

Dates and times for February are as follows:

• Tuesday 17th – 9:30am
• Thursday 19th – 1:00pm
• Wednesday 25th – 9:30am
• Thursday 26th – 1:00pm

Auditel appoints new Head of Marketing

Laurence Knott has joined Auditel, the UK’s leading cost and purchase management franchise, as Head of Marketing. Laurence brings over 23 years experience in various sales and marketing roles to Auditel, mainly from the IT and Telecommunication sectors. Most notably he was Product Marketing Manager at Fujitsu Siemens, Group Marketing Manager at a division of Cable & Wireless and Group Marketing Manager at Compel Group Plc. He is currently undertaking a complete review of Auditel’s marketing plan, marketing collateral and branding.

Laurence reports: “Despite the current economic climate, Auditel are experiencing business success with increasing demands for our services and an influx of franchisee enquiries. Our business model works very well, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. We are finding that organisations welcome our support in reducing cost and there has never been a better time to buy an Auditel franchise than now. In fact, our signing of new franchisees in January reached an unprecedented level for a single month – the first one coming on board at 11 am on the day we returned after the Christmas break!” Laurence added that he is really looking forward to an exciting year with Auditel and the opportunity of adding his experience to their management team.
