| Are you put off by the costs of joining a franchise? If so, this may be for
you. Are you put off by the costs of getting started? If so, this is very much for you. In any new business or franchise, you have to risk something – there’s initial marketing material, uncertainty whether you will even like the business, and the costs of the franchise itself. Typically you can pay at least £10,000 for any reputable, established franchise; what if the idea did not work for you or did not work in your area? How about if the risk was taken away from you? What would you feel if you could get involved with no up-front franchise fee at all? If the only thing it will COST you to get started, and to test the concept in your area, is your time and an affordable ‘commitment fee’ to demonstrate your commitment? Would this interest you? If you are looking to set up a genuine home based business of your own, fulfilling a strong local demand and earning an excellent income, this may be just what you’ve been waiting for. In any business you need to promote the service by marketing locally for clients. In our case this is done by dropping off ‘client promotion GIRL cards’. A sample of one of our many client promotion cards is shown. |
|
| Our GIRL cards are a simple and proven way of getting clients. | Following a new trading alliance between us and other local businesses, you can now DOUBLE your local promotion at no extra cost to yourself. The arrangement is very simple; you arrange to deliver some flyers for another local company, whom we will help set up for you and they will reciprocate by delivering an equal number of your flyers. This means you both get twice the marketing for your busioness as you would working on your own and you gain new clients in our business twice as fast. |
| This is proving so popular that we
are signing up several trading alliances per month. However we have a
problem.. We have vacant areas where we have several local businesses
wishing to share marketing with us. But we have no franchisees in the
area
So we thought, do we wait and simply continue charging everyone who joins SelClene our standard £7,500 franchise fee (+ VAT), or do we accelerate our recruitment of new agents by making you an offer you cannot refuse? We have local businesses in your area already delivering 1000 of their own fliers per week, who are queuing up to form a trading alliance with our local SelClene agents. But there are many areas where we have no agents. So we need to recruit more SelClene agents fast. How can we make it attractive for you to come in to
SelClene, to make the most of this opportunity. Well there here is a unique, never before available offer for you....... |
|
| How it works: (1) You confirm your interest by emailing us the enquiry form below. (2) If you are still interested, you will agree over the phone to paying us a small ‘commitment fee’ of £250.00. (plus VAT). This covers one night's B&B for up to two persons sharing an en-suite room in the castle, the initial stationery and marketing literature you need to get started, includes ten client packs, ten cleaner packs and 12,000 client promotion cards, plus a day's basic training in our call centre. (3) Additional training is available during the year at any time and as you feel necessary, at £100 per day (including B&B) |
|
| (4) We train you in 3 simple basics –
(i) delivery of the GIRL cards, (ii) how to interview, vet and train workers and (iii) how to register clients who enquire about your service. These 3 basics you’ll understand within
2-3 hours at our first meeting.
(5) Back-up telephone / email support is also provided free, along with a detailed training manual complete with forms and all the questions and answers you will need when meeting workers and clients.
(9) We handle your enquiries for you at our
call centre, so there is no need to learn how to handle incoming calls
from clients and workers. We do this for you and book only those
who are interested in to appointments for you to register with the
agency. As your partner, what do WE do for you? We (i) run the call centre and handle all your client and worker enquiries (ii) train you and supply you with an exclusive trading area of 100,000 householders (iii) supply all clients and worker contracts and paperwork and (iv) go halves with you on the printing of the client creation GIRL cards And what do you do? You (i) deliver client creation cards to generate enquiries for us to book into appointment, (ii) sign up clients who want to use the service, and (iii) register workers to work for clients. (NB: You do not work for clients yourself - this is a 'management' style franchise).
|
|
| How is the client
revenue spilt between us?
(i) Income from clients is split 50:50 after VAT between us both. (ii) By
end of Year One you should be earning a part time income (iii) This assumes about 15 hours a week, based from home. (iv) By the end
of Year Two, you should be able to double these

An 'agent'
is not a full franchise - it is an assisted entry offer. We share
marketing costs and share the work involved. You get a feel for
the business and ensure it works in your area, while taking no
significant financial risk to yourself.
|
|
| This is a
unique arrangement ONLY offered in areas where we need to find agents to
work with an existing local business seeking a trading alliance. No
other franchisor makes such an offer.
If you are
truly serious about starting up your own business, this is an offer you
cannot refuse. Until today you would have to invest £7,500 + VAT up front to enter the SelClene business as a full franchise, plus monthly fees for your exclusive area. This is a heavy initial cost for people starting out. Though the business is proven, there's always a risk you might not 'get off the ground'. Even the most successful franchisees in 'serious' businesses will take two to three years to break into meaningful profit. However under this new Agency agreement, in partnership with us and mainly thanks to this very simple trading alliance system where two non-competing local businesses - and and another - work together, you should be making money within the first 3-6 months! You start small and part time, and see how it grows. Just to remind you, we are probably the largest domestic employment agency in the UK, with roughly 10,000 private householder clients and 85 franchised areas. We market our service by local card drop, local advertising and internet directory advertising. A franchisee with 200 clients typically makes an annual profit of £23,010 per annum or more – the exact income you make as a full franchise is dependent on client numbers. |
|
| You now have a unique opportunity to enter the SelClene business with NO UP-FRONT franchise costs whatsoever! As an Agent, you will very quickly establish what the potential is, for your area. You will discover how the business works, without any significant financial risk to yourself. You do not even have to buy marketing material up front as we provide everything you need to get started. You do not pay ANYTHING up front beyond our ‘commitment fee’. All we require in return is your personal commitment to actually do the work involved. Are you interested? If you are interested, we can get a meeting set up straightaway and you can be trading within a matter of weeks. All you need to do is contact us by completing the enquiry form below. Kind regards, Martin Gover. |
|
| PS.
The only thing you risk is your time, and with 10,000 clients
nationally, and a proven formula (we’ve been trading since 1987 – 20
years now) we are not about to waste your time! Do not make the mistake of thinking this is remotely complicated. It is very simple. You deliver leaflets we provide for you. You get clients enquiring. We handle the enquiries, ‘close’ them for you, and you go and collect the paperwork. |
|
| Entry costs nil.
Risk factor: your time and your £250 + VAT ‘commitment’. We trust you with the marketing material and invest in you in return for your personal undertaking to operate the Agency in accordance with our training. All you have to do is enquire to find out more….. |

I don’t even know who you are so why should I pay you £250 ‘commitment and training fee’?

The commitment fee is to weed out the uncommitted. The first 8 agents we signed up were not charged anything. We drove an average 8 hours round trip to see them, gave them £240 worth of marketing material, and £30 worth of client and cleaner packs, plus four hours of our time in training and that was the easy part! The hard work is before we even meet. Before each meeting, we arrange a local business for the trading alliance, and also get them to attend the meeting. An exchange of promotional leaflets takes place. Just arranging each trading alliance can take two or three days of marketing effort, telephone calls and co-ordinating people to make it to the first meeting. Three full time staff were employed at our office on this work.
Having set up the first 8 agents, two changed their minds and dropped out having not even delivered any client leaflets. In one case, their trading partner had already delivered several thousand of the new SelClene agent’s flyers and we were getting enquiries at our call centre. These, and our time, were all wasted for the 2 that dropped out. Two more have since been terminated by us for not getting started at all. So we need to be sure we attract people who INTEND TO WORK THE BUSINESS!
Having decided we could not afford to waste time with people who were not fully committed and aware of what was expected of them, we now require confirmation of your commitment. In return, we set you up in a business that will work for you in your area, if you work.
What do I get for my £250 commitment fee?
The actual value of what you get is much higher. Here is a very rough breakdown:
(i) Preparation time in arranging trading alliance meeting assuming 8 man hours
@ £7.00/hr in initial phone calls, co-ordinating and setting up first trading partner for you £ 56.00
(ii) B&B in an en-suite for up to two persons sharing double room £ 90.00
(iii) Training by Call Centre staff £ 50.00
(iv) 12,000 A6 client creation cards at 2 pence / card £ 240.00
(v) Client and Worker Stationery, booklets, contracts, & associated forms
- ten sets of each at £1.50 per set approx (20 stationery sets) £ 30.00
(vi) Training Manuals, videos etc (basic cost of printing, copying) £ 8.00
(vii) Senior management time in training you £ 80.00
(viii) Estimated value* of trading alliance assuming £1,000 leaflets per week
being delivered for you FREE by your trading partner, X standard £35/1,000
delivery cost and assuming 48 weeks per annum actual delivery £1,680.00
Total value to you and cost to us in conducting our first meeting therefore £2,234.00
* The value of the trading alliance is very significant but will vary up or down depending on number of leaflets delivered free by your trading partner and number of weeks actual delivery. If the trading alliance lasts more than one year, then the value will be higher over a period of years.
