New franchisee Ian Stoney on why It'seeze 

Successful new franchisee Ian Stoney comments on the Spoton.net decision… 

 

“Prior to making the decision to purchase a franchise I had been employed as an Operations Director at a University. Previously I had also enjoyed salaried positions with leading operators in the leisure and retail sectors.  

I made a decision to follow a life-long ambition to work for myself and allowed myself a period of eight weeks to establish exactly what kind of business I would launch. During this time the recession was biting hard and whilst I had several ideas for an enterprise of my own, it appeared a somewhat safer bet to identify a franchise with both a strong offer and track record of success." 

 

"My search for a franchise opportunity began with franchise industry association listings from which I short-listed twenty companies from retail, business services and web related industries.  

Rather than sending me a glossy brochure of get-rich-schemes, Spoton's Franchise Director called me to introduce the company. He answered each and every one of my questions and spoke at length regarding the ins and outs of the product, taking time to answer each of my questions. I was also invited to meet the team in Devon in order to get a deeper understanding of Spoton's offer." 

 

"Spoton's franchise fee is similar to that of competitors, yet they offer excellent value for your investment when you see the size of the territories available. Territories are twice, sometimes three times larger than that on offer from other franchises. This was a definite advantage whilst I was seeking the maximum possible opportunity for my money." 

 

"The market we're in is highly competitive, yet this also presents an upside! Having carried out extensive research into similar products, I have been unable to find any other product to rival It'seeze.  

It's hard work establishing a new region and setting up a business, yet everyone I meet is impressed with the product, service offering and price. Having experienced the pain of traditional web design companies and less capable products, everyone I've met so far has been genuinely impressed, making signing up business that much easier." 

 

"The training from Spoton is highly practical and I was pleasantly surprised to have four presentation meetings arranged and scheduled for me to launch my business the following week." 

 

"So in summary, unrivalled value for your investment, excellent training, unbeatable product at a price that SMEs are happy to pay.“
