FRANCHISING

It seems obvious by now that part of the business plan is to get TPRO's CD and methodology into every factory setting anywhere. No way TPRO could, or should staff to enormous proportions. TPRO itself will skim the cream, alliances will take firms with who they have current relationships, and the remaining 90%(?) or so are best addressed by franchise holders.
TPRO can train as required for them to obtain some sort of certification, and they can be resellers of CD and with TPRO tech support, probably do some field assessment and remediation work. This opens the CD door wide, as there are tens of thousands of manufacturers that would go through the cracks absent either capitalizing on an existing relationship, or knocking on the door. Hey, it's not a bad deal to market CDs and help conduct assessments with substantial CD markup and current labor rates. TPRO
management seems to be looking at every feasible way to get their foot in as many doors as possible in shortest period of time. It's great.
Sure, there will be some stumbles, but they have so many irons in the fire, all yielding good cash. Close counts. This company should emerge the millenium in great shape for gobs of continued business from existing clients, and those they have removed the thorn from the paw on. I love the business plan. I know right now the market is not rewarding almost anything, but when the cash starts flowing in large quantities, it cannot be ignored. TPRO will then be in the spotlight, in what may be a lackluster market, at best. Share price will shoot. |
