magazine named Geeks On Call
the #1 new franchise company in America. No
Computer Experience is Necessary to Join an Industry Leader
Geeks On Call is one
of the premier providers of on-site computer services in the United States.
Founded in 1999, Geeks On Call began franchising in 2001 and has quickly
become one of the fastest-growing franchise companies in the country.
In fact, the January 2006 issue of Entrepreneur magazine named Geeks On
Call the #1 new franchise company in America. Geeks On Call has developed
a strong brand and a significant presence in much of the major markets
across the United States, leading to the establishment of several hundred
franchises. All of the Geeks On Call technicians are certified, trained,
and tested and are easily recognizable in their signature vehicles—blue
PT Cruisers emblazoned with the Geeks On Call logo and toll-free phone
number. And best of all, no computer expertise is required to become a
Geeks On Call franchisee. The
Skyrocketing Demand for Computer Services
Nearly every company in America depends on computers for conducting day-to-day
operations, but most small-to-medium-sized businesses cannot afford to
have full-time computer professionals on staff. In addition, it has been
estimated that over 55% of all homes in America (and 80% of upper-income
households) have one or more computers, yet most busy families have neither
the time or knowledge to solve their own computer problems. As a result,
the demand for high-tech services has skyrocketed, leading to the formation
of a computer services/support market worth upwards of a few hundred billion
dollars—with its value growing steadily each year. It’s no
wonder that so many people are eager to grab a slice of this lucrative
pie—particularly smart businesspersons who recognize a golden opportunity
or talented computer technicians who want to escape the corporate rat
race and become their own boss. Independence
Within a Strong Network
The dramatic growth and success experienced by Geeks On Call can be attributed
to a comprehensive franchise system that has gone through many iterations
as it has been tested, tweaked, and retested. The result is a method by
which the Geeks On Call franchisees and the corporate headquarters can
work hand in hand to achieve mutual success. Why
Choose Geeks On Call?
There are numerous benefits to joining the Geeks On Call family: - Low Cost:
Geeks On Call makes it affordable to become your own boss. Unlike other
franchise companies that charge exorbitant amounts for a franchise,
Geeks On Call has single franchises available starting at approximately
$60,000. If you prefer to become an Area Developer and buy multiple
territories at once, the approximate costs start at $128,000 (for two
franchises). Discounts are available for Area Developers interested
in buying three or more franchises.
- National
Call Center: Geeks On Call has a toll-free phone number—1-800-905-GEEK—that
its customers can use to make inquiries or schedule appointments. All
calls to this number are routed to a call center located at the corporate
headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia, where a large team of representatives
answers the phones, responds to questions from customers, quotes prices
for service calls, sets appointments, and wirelessly communicates the
details of those appointments to the Geeks On Call technicians all over
the nation.
- Franchisee
Training and Support: Geeks On Call has a team of professional
consultants who provide meticulous start-up training in two phases:
a weeklong “Geek University,” and hands-on in-field training.
Furthermore, the Geeks On Call Operations Department provides ongoing
support for all franchisees in an effort to help them fulfill their
potential and reach their goals.
- Technician
Support: Although the Geeks On Call technicians are some of
the most skilled and certified computer experts in the nation, they
can’t possibly know everything about every piece of hardware or
software ever made. If a Geeks On Call technician encounters an unusually
stubborn technical issue and needs to bounce ideas off a peer, he/she
can call a special support hotline made available by the corporate headquarters.
- Aggressive
Marketing: Geeks On Call franchisees enjoy the benefits of
strong advertising, marketing, and public-relations campaigns. The Geeks
On Call World Headquarters does everything possible to build a recognizable
brand that resonates with both the residential and business communities
and to position the Geeks On Call franchisees as the “go-to”
tech experts in their respective communities.
- SMB Services:
Becoming a successful Geeks On Call franchisee requires more than waiting
for crisis calls from customers who are having high-tech emergencies.
To that end, the Geeks On Call World Headquarters has designed a system
by which franchisees can introduce themselves to local SMBs (small-to-medium-sized
businesses) and offer regularly-scheduled support that will keep the
SMBs’ computers running at peak efficiency and reduce the likelihood
of sudden breakdowns.
- Franchisee
Network: The Geeks On Call franchisees are the company’s
greatest assets. Leveraging their expertise through a Franchise Advisory
Committee allows the franchisees and franchisor alike to attain results
beyond the status quo.
- National
Footprint: The large national network of Geeks On Call technicians
draws its power from unified goals and shared resources, which are benefits
you can’t get in an independent business venture.
