About the Packages
We are offering two levels of Support Package which are described in more detail in their own pages.
The Standard Level of Support Package is designed for those Consultants who want to primarily target Domestic Customers.
The Business Level of Support Package covers everything in the Standard Level but also includes features designed for those Consultants who wish to meet the challenge of dealing with Business Customers.
The packages include:
- Printed colour copies of all the essential stationery
- Software templates
- Exclusive geographic area.
- eMail support.
- Telephone support.
- Online instructions on how to run your Computer Consultancy Business.
This is not a Franchise. We do not expect a royalty payment, nor do we expect a share of your turnover. There are no ongoing charges or retainer fees and we will not try to sell you materials. You will be totally independent. We only charge a reasonable, one off, fee to set you up for the first year.
If at the end of the first year you would like continued support then we are able to provide it.
What we provide is a package that enables you to use our proven methods to run your own business and full assistance via our website, email and telephone support.
Some Frequently asked Questions
The following questions are the most frequently asked that apply to both packages. There are also FAQ's associated with the Standard Package and the Business Package.
Q: Can I upgrade from the Standard Package to the Business Package at some time in the future?
A: Yes, of course, but it can be slightly more expensive then buying the whole thing in one go. We cannot quote a price here because it depends on a number of things like whether you want the support to be extended for another 12 months from the upgrade or to run from the original start date etc.
Q: What is the difference between the websites of the two packages?
A: If you sign up for the Business Support Package your ID will allow you to access all the same things as the Standard Package but it will also allow you to access the Business Expansion area of the site. That area contains information about how to acquire and retain business customers; When to tell if you are ready to target businesses; How to determine your pricing; and details on the sorts of services that you will find businesses keen to buy from you.
Where appropriate we include our step by step instructions, templates, scripts, documents and videos.
This area of the website is not available to Consultants who have purchased the Standard Package.
Q: How exclusive is my geographic area?
A: As exclusive as you want it to be. Let me explain - Suppose we are supporting your business and you are based in, say, York. If someone else from York wants to sign up then we will ask your opinion. If you would prefer us not to sign them up then we will not. If you are happy for us to sign them up then we will do so and if both of you agree then we will give you each others details. You will probably be aware that there are benefits in having another Consultant nearby as you can easily be collaborators rather than competitors.
Q: How many vacancies do you have?
A: We are restricting the number of consultants we will sign up and support. This is because we want to feel that we can comfortably provide support using our existing help desk team without it having any impact on our existing services to our current customers. As you would expect, we are monitoring the effect on our existing services closely.
Q: How would I access the website?
A: The Consultants Area of this website is accessible from the link on the left hand side navigation bar on every page of this website. When you become a customer of EnQuant you receive an ID and password unique to you that allows access to the Consultants Area.
Q: Is the phone support on a premium rate number?
A: Unlike many businesses nowadays, we believe in providing support on normal telephone lines - you will not be expected to ring a premium rate number. EnQuant will provide you with a landline helpdesk number (normal office hours) and a mobile number to call at other times. Your mentor will provide you with a number to call them on which is most likely to be their own mobile number. If we are unable to resolve your issue immediately then you will be called back.
Q: Tell me more about mentors
A: New Consultants get telephone access to someone who can help you get up to speed as quickly as possible. They are available for you to ask any questions regarding your business. We try to allocate you someone who has similar business goals to yourself. For instance if you are looking to target business users, we will allocate you someone who has done that successfully. If you are looking to design websites then we will try to allocate you a mentor who is a web designer, and so on.
Some of the mentors will have been through the same process as you and started their business in the same way at an earlier date, and so their support is very useful. Some mentors are employees of EnQuant, others are former customers who we pay for providing this support.
Q: How does the Credit Crunch affect this business?
A: The credit crunch is good for this type of business. Most companies are holding off from employing full time staff and buying new equipment. That is very good news for us as we are able to save them money in what we do. There is a particular increase in interest from companies who want to hire an IT expert for a day or so per week instead of a full time employee. Domestic customers are also making their existing equipment last longer. That means they are more likely to call us when something goes wrong.
At EnQuant we measure what we call the "conversion rate" from the marketing we do to our customers. This is a measure of how much sales we get from our marketing efforts. We have found a significant rise since the start of 2007 and that is why we can confidently state that the credit crunch is good for this type of business.
Q: What happens after I place an order?
A: Before placing an order you will have contacted us by email or phone to discuss whether it is the right thing for you and whether there is already someone in your area. If you place an order without making contact it is possible that your order will be rejected.
When you place on order:
- We will eMail you a form.
- You need to fill in the form with your details and arrange your payment.
- Payment can be via cheque, credit card, Purchase Order or PayPal.
- Whilst waiting for payment to clear we use the information from the form to create the templates for you.
- If you have paid using a credit card, PayPal or using a Buy it Now button, the payment will be processed the fastest and the templates will be created by the next working day.
- When the payment is cleared we print off your stationery and post them to you with your invoice, a CD (or Hard Disk or pendrive) containing your templates and your account details for accessing our support systems.
- We keep you informed at every step.
