FRANCHISE BROCHURE
YOUR FUTURE Looking for a Business-to-Business franchise?
Together we are stronger Do you want the freedom of running your own business with the reassurance of being supported by a solid organisation? The Sticky Marketing Club Franchise™ is for people with a senior sales management or marketing background, perhaps in consultancy or prior selfemployment in a B2B environment. It is for those who want to work at the cutting edge of sales and marketing with the opportunity to influence their income, to have responsibility for running their own operation and yet benefit from brand backing.
Today, every company, no matter what they provide, is a media company. Understanding how to utilise websites, blogs, social platforms, forums, wikis, video, podcasts, articles and the plethora of other channels and media types available, is not easy. Understanding how to do this within the confines of a robust marketing strategy, is even harder still. Moreover, the pace of change means that staying on top of all the relevant opportunities available is extremely challenging.

Why would a franchise be right for me? You may have a senior management background. You might be, or have been, working for yourself, possibly as a business consultant. Have you come to a point where progress in your career or chosen sector no longer holds attraction or indeed is no longer an option? We know of countless professionals who are unable to find any job, let alone a rewarding position offering a secure future. Going it alone is something that they have never done before. Even if they have, there is no doubt immense pressure of family and mortgage obligation takes its toll on the selfemployed. In some ways, it can feel as if one is trapped between two unpalatable choices. We all need to earn, but more than that, we want to feel in control, rather than disempowered. Coping with redundancy or perhaps trying to save your business in a tough economy without resources to invest, can be difficult for even the most resilient and positive of people.

”The most powerful and up-to-date marketing book I've read in years. We put it on our Reading List for all our coaches to study... and recommend you read it too. It's an excellent, well balanced and well researched book, written clearly and it is easy to learn from. I spent every spare moment with pen in hand milking it of every last gem, notes in margins, underlining wholesale - it's an inspiration. I recommend it to our smallbusiness clients too, though large companies need to call Leboff in personally and pay him a lot of money! He'll be worth every penny.
