You may have already seen some "unique and truly exceptional business opportunities" or some that guarantee success with no previous experience. But do you really believe that?

Once you get past the hype, you soon realise the only people getting rich are the owners of the franchise because there is no such thing as 'guaranteed success'. The only way to truly succeed is to offer a product or service that delivers value and then work intelligently to promote it. This is what we help you do.

What We Offer

Every organisation needs to cut costs and achieve efficiencies but this is a very difficult balancing act. Some tackle this in house, but more work with outside consultancy firms. The problem is that many consultants only do half the job. They often focus purely on cost reduction and ignore the need for a policy of continuous improvement and on-going cost management. We are different.


Our holistic approach considers business process efficiencies and cost reduction strategies as part of an overall programme of Cost and Efficiency Optimisation (CEO). Based on decades of our own consultancy experience, we created the iCEO framework that has three components;

1. Best practice consulting methodologies and process templates.
2. Knowledge Transfer Programmes that include training, workshops and mentoring.
3. CEOportal, an innovative web-based platform developed in collaboration with Warwick University. With software modules for Lean Thinking, Strategic Sourcing and Continuous Improvement, it has saved clients millions. For example, Computer 2000 saved more than £1.3 million, dabs.com £500,000 and TNT UK £180,000.

Our Strategy

We deliver iCEO solutions to clients across the public and private sector and are now building a select network of Associate Consulting Partners to share in this success. And because we know what it takes to succeed, we want people with the right skills and drive to succeed. The ideal profile we are looking for includes;

• A strong background in Finance, Logistics, Manufacturing, Operations, Sales and Marketing, or general Business Management.
• A clear understanding of business drivers and strategic issues in the Public or Private sector.
• Drive and determination to learn, work intelligently and promote a professional attitude with clients.

Our approach is different to other business 'opportunities' for four key reasons:

1. We do NOT operate a franchise, nor do we charge royalties.
2. You DO need certain skills and experience to succeed.
3. We are only building a small select team.
4. We are truly committed to your success.

Helping You Achieve Success

When you become an EPI Associate Consulting Partner, we provide expert help to get your business started as fast as possible through training and a personalised client acquisition programme.

Training

Through a combination of presentations, case studies and hands-on workshops, we teach you theory combined with real-world practical experience. You will understand the background of Strategic Sourcing, Lean Thinking and Continuous Improvement Planning. You will become adept at using and demonstrating CEOportal software. You will also learn how to use best practice templates, proposals, presentations, case studies and a full set of marketing materials to win client confidence and secure business.

Fast start

The hardest part of running a consulting business is creating and maintaining a client acquisition pipeline. Knowing that, we have created EPIAccelerator, a personalised programme that helps identify prospective clients, create compelling messages to attract their attention and then to secure an initial meeting. We then coach you how to qualify the opportunity, present your proposition and win the client engagement. We will also work with you on the first few clients and there are many collaboration opportunities with us and our network of Associate Consulting Partners.

How Much Can You Earn?

That really depends on you but we enable you to earn from multiple income streams.

• If you provide consulting and training on a daily rate basis, you can make more than £100,000 a year.
• If you use our GainShare model (where you share 50% of the savings made) you can generate significantly more. This is the model EPI Managing Director Nick Close used to make more than one million pounds over a two year period.
• You will also earn 35% of the value of client subscriptions to CEOportal. With multiple clients this can be significant and it will be paid as long as the client subscribes.

And because you pay no service fees, you keep 100% of the income you generate.

The annual membership charge for an EPI Associate Consulting Partner is £12,000; this includes full access to the EPI SaaS platform and software services, use of the consulting methodology and access to the Associate Partner Network (for joint venture consulting assignments). Training is provided by EPI, for which there is a charge, but each training programme is personalised for each individual Associate.

In Summary

We offer you five key things that you should consider before you make a decision:

1. An ability to differentiate yourself by using our unique iCEO approach.
2. A software platform that gives you more options to generate income than any of our competitors can.
3. Dedicated help to get your business up and running fast.
4. Ongoing support and mentoring to keep your business growing.
5. And last but not least, No Franchise Royalties to pay.
