Expense Reduction Analysts

Join the World's Leading Cost Management Consultancy

If you are an experienced sales professional, then this may be the perfect opportunity for you. We are looking for high-performing sales professionals to build their own business.

As a consultant with Expense Reduction Analysts (ERA), you will be part of a U.S. network of Client Managers and Analysts who undertake projects individually, based on their areas of expertise, and frequently collaborate on joint ventures with other ERA consultants who complement their skills and experience.

As a Client Manager, you secure clients in need of cost-saving services. You will joint venture with ERA's world-class expert Analysts, who handle project analysis and reporting using our proven methodologies. If you prefer, you can assume the analysis and reporting responsibilities on your own.

Expense Reduction Analysts gives you the best of both worlds: the freedom to build your own business combined with the support and leverage that comes with being part of a large, market-leading organization.

Grow Your Own Consulting Business as a Member of the Expense Reduction Analysts Network:

• You will be offering clients an unparalleled value proposition. We provide an independent, impartial and much-needed service, one that effectively costs clients nothing and nearly always saves them significant money. It doesn't get any better than that!
• You will leverage your past professional experience and build a successful business around your personal strengths. Our business model offers multiple avenues for you to leverage your skill set and be paid what you are really worth.
• Your business will enjoy the benefits of our successful global network. Work from home assisted by the power of our brand, our proven methodology and comprehensive program of training and support. Also, access the deep sector and consulting expertise of our consultant network and collaborate with other consultants on joint venture projects.

Franchisee Quote: Richard Halperin - "Simply put, we have a lower cost delivery model than our competitors do and an attractive compensation model that appeals to our clients. I'm impressed with the high caliber of the people I've met at ERA. They come from diverse backgrounds, are knowledgeable, experienced and are driven to success. ERA has a collaborative culture that I believe contributes to both my growth and success."

Do you have what it takes?

Many of our Client Managers have a background in sales and marketing and thrive on winning new business or developing existing client relationships. Likewise, our Analysts have built successful businesses leveraging their deep understanding of a particular industry segment and developing excellent working relationships by delivering on joint ventures initiated by other consultants. Some consultants are successful at both initiating client relationships and delivering results.

An ERA Consultant's success is often related to the following attributes:

• Possesses strong communication and relationship management skills
• Is highly proactive, determined, motivated and enjoys an entrepreneurial spirit
• Can adapt and apply focus to following a proven business model

The ERA Service

ERA Consultants deliver cost management services to organizations of all types and sizes, based around a compelling no-savings, no-fee proposition. The ERA franchised network utilizes a sophisticated business system and shares huge volumes of information relating to suppliers, markets, pricing, quality and services that enable ERA franchisees to deliver results across multiple cost areas.

Operating primarily from home-based offices, ERA consultants use the skills and experiences of one another to form project teams focused on the client's individual needs. This provides you with a business model that has enormous flexibility and enables you to play to your strengths.

ERA has delivered savings to over 14,000 clients throughout the world since it began operating in 1992. Achievements for our US franchisees have been formidable with average client savings currently standing close to 20%. As an ERA franchisee, you share in the savings you generate for your client. Typically, our client agreements call for our franchisees to earn 50% of the client's savings for up to 24 months. It is easy to see how a carefully managed client base can lead to a significant income opportunity for our franchisees while boosting our clients' bottom lines!

Franchisee Quote: Greg Pollard - "I wanted to own a business and step out of the corporate world. ERA's offering provides a true and measurable difference for our clients and an opportunity to make a good living for my family. With the shared savings model and emphasis on implementation, I know I made a positive impact on my client's bottom line and will be rewarded in a true pay-for-performance environment."
