Quod System FAQ’s

What is the OPPORTUNITY on offer?
A HIGH DEMAND, BOOMING  & MULTI-BILLION POUND MARKET!!

Yes, a Quod Franchise offers the opportunity to work in the worlds biggest and fastest growing market of all, The INTERNET. If someone was to suggest to you that use of the internet will steadily DECLINE over the next 10 years then you’d almost have to laugh at them. The Internet has grown at unprecedented rates and it can make or break a Business, Brand or even President ((Ask Mr Obama)). From Social Media to Online reputation management and from banner advertising to PPC the Internet is obviously growing. Some studies even suggest that if the internet was a country then it’s economy would rank 5th in the World, behind only the USA, China, Japan & India!!!

We are offering a full training and support package, complete with ongoing support and cutting edge tools to help you become a successful Quod Media Analyst.

With the RECESSION, can I succeed as a Quod Media Analyst?

This may surprise you:
Regardless of the state of the economy, for many, being an Quod Media Analyst is a
RECESSION PROOF business!

It doesn’t matter about the economy, the stock market, the credit crunch, the price of houses or the High Street, the banks, or an increase in business failure… Because boom or bust, businesses need
our help. Here’s why…

The Quod Franchise system works irrespective of economic conditions.

In a booming economy businesses want to grow and develop – and of course, we help them to do just that. In a recession, the mindset changes and businesses are concerned with preservation, survival and retaining what they already have (if they can also grow then so much the better). With web 3.0 businesses and individuals also want to maintain their brand, monitor what’s being said about them and have the ability to repond through customer engagement and the ability to monitor or track results/ROI. This give our Analysts a huge advantage in a GROWING economy.

Either way, as a Quod Media Analyst, boom or recession represents two sides of the same coin… We employ the same proven methodolgies, the same techniques and the same systems. It’s just the emphasis that is different.

What is the gist of what I would have to do?

As a Quod Media Analyst your role is to work very closely with your clients either to:

  • Train them in the effective use of the online tools available – Twitter, Facebook – Yes, but also on Policies on the use of these, reputation management and crises plans
  • Work as an hourly paid ‘Consultant’ – Update profiles, write copy, monitor competitor activity
  •  Forge long term partnering relationships and ‘Manage the account’ – from brand monitoring to social updates – You should be the only voice for your client/their brand on the internet

 

Using our methodologies and proven 6 Sigma model you should be able to;

  • Increase their online traffic
  • Improve the performance of their marketing campaigns with a tangible ROI
  • Generate positive brand sentiment
  • Implement our annual strategy map and assist in exceeding targets set

 

In essence, you are more than an ‘Analyst’ as depending upon the clients’ needs and wants, you will also fit into the role of instructor, trainer, coach, manager, teacher, tutor, mentor, guru, facilitator, business partner and even dare we say a counsellor. It can be quite demanding – but responsibility, as we will find out, has its privileges.

Is this the right opportunity for me?

Is this something I can do? & Do I want to do this?

These are perfectly reasonable questions and deserving of an answer. Taking the second question first: ‘Do I want to do this?’ This is something that you must ask yourself once you have all the facts – that is, thoroughly read what we do and then call us for a straightforward, open and absolutely no-obligation chat.

Now to address the first question: ‘Is this something I can do?’ If your answer to this is already a definite no then go no further and waste no more time. This affects us both, we are only looking for those that qualify, as per our selection process next, that feel they CAN and WANT to do this. Please make sure that you have honestly answered these two questions before you do anything else –we would love for you to join our team but ONLY if it’s right for you.

Our selection process?

With our comprehensive training, proven methodologies and continuing support, we try to help you achieve success as easily and as quickly as possible, but frankly, the simple truth is that not everyone is suited to the web or marketing or even running their own business and for those who don’t have what it takes, we don’t want to waste their time. You should find this comforting because if you are amongst ‘our team’, you will want to know that ‘your peers’ maintain the highest standards, image and integrity of the brand… All very important in the longer term because this is not your ‘usual’ franchise and  requires a very special kind of individual to prosper and to do well… Those individuals with the following profile which includes background, experience and mindset are the most suitable for the Quod Franchise:

  • You should have experience in business, sales, marketing, web or consulting.
  • Be open minded to new ideas and new methodologies.
  • Enjoy helping others thrive and be rewarded accordingly.
  • Be methodical, diligent and prepared to follow a proven methodology.
  • Be self-motivated and self-starting… A ‘take charge’ kind of person.
  • Have a healthy self-belief and positive attitude.
  • And, a driving ambition to achieve your goals.

How much money could I make as a Quod Media Analyst??

This depends on your clients, fee income and your motivation. It might only take one-two clients on account management to achieve your desired level of income. In other cases, such as hourly support and project management services it can take more. How many clients it takes for you to earn what you strive for depends largely on the clients you target, how you present yourself, how much you charge (or they are willing to pay), and how well you perform. But MOST importantly it will inevitably depend on how determined you are to succeed in your new venture.

What other costs should I account for?

Aside from your Quod Franchise fee, your costs will vary according to how involved you want to be. You will need basic office equipment such as a computer, printer and telephone. You’ll also need a budget for promoting and marketing your consultancy business. Otherwise, your only other costs will be if you choose to work from an office or hire staff. However, since most of your time will be spent at client sites or on a computer this is not a necessity.

How long will it take for me to get up and running?

It depends on your experience, confidence or contacts, and whether you start out full or part time, but you can get started as soon as you’ve finished the training course. You may be able to get your business running almost immediately, or it could take you a few months. It’s a good idea to put three to four months of living expenses to one side when you first start. How quickly you get up and running depends largely on you, your level of activity and your commitment. Of course, and as mentioned, we will do all we can to get you moving.
