A Recession Proof Business

Pep discusses his experience as a franchisee with the Utilitrack business utility broker franchise

I joined Utilitrack just before the pandemic and I’ve never looked back. My only regret is I wish I’d done it sooner.

When I was looking for a franchise, there was so much choice out there that I found it really difficult to choose. I wanted a company with a stable and proven franchise model, that would allow me to work with people I wanted to work with and give me a better work life balance. Utilitrack gave me that and more.

Their model was so simple, that it was almost too easy to be true.

Even though I knew nothing about the commercial utility business, that didn’t matter and it wasn’t a barrier to me joining. All Utilitrack want from me, was the right passion, attitude and commitment and they’ve done the rest. The training and ongoing support I’ve received has been exceptional and has allowed me not only to grow my business, but grow as a person too.

Because I’m not a salesperson, the fact that we offer a consultancy service to our clients suits me perfectly. By providing a service that ensures my clients get excellent advice on their utilities spend, I’m consulting, not selling. I feel really comfortable with this sort of approach to my business contacts, because those relationships are very important to me. The Utilitrack administration team make life really easy for me by producing a simple, easy to understand market report, with competitive rates from a panel of suppliers. The report is tailored to my client’s requirements and in most cases includes their current supplier. My clients can then make an informed decision about which supplier to choose and because a switch isn’t always required, there’s no pressure.

I’ve been able to build a business by merely using the contacts that I’d already gathered throughout my life and working with people who know, like and trust me. That business has not only improved my work/life balance, but also allowed me to accumulate passive income that will grow year on year.

As I continue to add new clients, that income will grow and compound.

In just my first year, I generated an income for the following 3 years that matched what I was earning as an employee and it was so rewarding to know that this would only increase beyond my wildest expectations. What’s more, it’s proved to be recession proof because businesses will always need gas and electricity. The pandemic wasn’t a barrier to growth and now the with the energy crisis, we have never been so busy.

The fact that I no longer need to waste time and money commuting back and forth to an office has also given me a quality of life I’d only ever dreamed of.
