Management Consultants-Partners

Do you want to start your own business in consulting?  

• Supported by ERA’s successful business concept, you develop your own business on an independent basis. An initial investment based on a license agreement/fee is required to become an affiliate.
• Together with fellow partners you will develop the business with new clients and maintain existing client relationships. You will analyze possibilities for cost optimization, profit increase and assign the appropriate suppliers at the best possible market conditions.
• You will work on projects both independently as well as in close collaboration with your local and international colleagues (750+), specializing in specific expense categories. You can rely on the proprietary tools and extensive expertise of the network.
• As part of the Belgian team of around 20 partners, you will work with large and mid-sized companies, institutions and governments to analyze and consult mainly on non-strategic expenses.

Profile

Business Developer - Project/Client Manager - Expense & Project Analyst

• You are a high-level professional with at least 10 years of experience in any of the areas in which ERA operates. You want to run your own business under the Expense Reduction Analyst brand. No previous consulting experience is required to become an ERA franchise owner. You can identify yourself with at least one of the following 3 roles:
  • (1) Business Developer: You have a strong commercial background and an extensive business network and with your good contact and communication skills you are able to develop long-term relationships with clients.
  • (2) Project/Client Manager: You are the primary contact person for the client’s management/directors and will be responsible for monitoring and on-time delivery of projects with other consultants with focus on client satisfaction.
  • (3) Expense & Project Analyst: You are both analytical and strong with numbers and have your proper area of expertise in a specific process (purchasing, IT, operations, supply chain, finance & administration, ...).

• An ERA partner often combines all these 3 roles but has either a more commercial or operational orientation. As this is a franchise opportunity you are willing to invest in your consultancy business and have the means to cover the operating expenses during the first year.

Do you want to become part of a global network of business professionals?

With over 750 consultants operating in over 40 countries worldwide, their franchise partners enjoy the benefit of operating their own business with a high-income potential whilst collaborating with their colleagues as part of an award-winning international brand.

ERA’s clients include all types of businesses, sectors and industries, hospitals and schools, charities, and non-profit organizations. They also include some of the world’s most successful companies and brand leaders. This diverse client base is the result of an unparalleled level of expertise in more than 40 different costs and expense categories and 30 years of experience in the market.

In today’s economic climate, the number one challenge that most organizations face is to reduce costs as they grow. Businesses are aggressively streamlining core expenditure, yet many of them are still overpaying by as much as 40% on their everyday operating costs. Many businesses simply do not have the manpower or the in-depth knowledge and expertise to keep control of these costs. ERA’s partners deliver tangible savings and long-term added value by managing the procurement process and generate process improvements.  

To join the very successful Belgian team, they offer a high-performance business opportunity to an entrepreneurial partner. In order to have an overview of their projects see the case studies on their website.
