What
Benefits Will I Get With The Payment Of Franchise Fees?
We
appreciate that young institutes like yours may concede to our franchise
fees of RS. 2,00,000/- (max) after a lot of consideration. But if
we take a brief look as to the superior benefits you will get with
the franchise, you will see why our fees are fully justified without
any question:
1)
COMPUFIELD will impart
technical knowledge to a maximum of 4 staff at our premises. We
will educate your staff with all our years of experience. Surely,
no monetary price can be assigned to such training, since it is
invaluable.
2) In addition to (1) above, we will advise you in Administration
and marketing techniques, which will prepare you for the new enhanced
role you are about to take on. Our advise to you on hardware software
/ space utilization / marketing, will yield you maximum returns,
not in some indefinite future, but rather in the immediate
course of time.
3) Please consider the high cost of training professional
instructors for your staff:
Assuming the minimum In-house training
(FOR JUST ONE COURSE), for one student is RS. 2,000/-.
To train a person and make him a PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTOR
would require 10 times more effort and resources. This would mean
that to get just one instructor educated professionally,
you would have to invest RS. 20,000/- on him. Thus to train four
such Instructors in 50 short term courses will be
20,000 X 50 = RS. 10,00,000/-.
COMPUFIELD also gives you support to train your
staff in case your staff leaves you after some time, so that your
show is not affected. Please note COMPUFIELD
considers staff efficiency a primary factor to run
such an Institute.
Comparing this amount to the Franchise
fees COMPUFIELD requires,you
will see
that we have been very reasonable in fixing our price tag. It should
be kept in mind
that to have come to such a upper stage
COMPUFIELD itself
had to invest in a sum SEVERAL TIMES LARGER than
the franchise fees required.
PLUS, COMPUFIELD gives
you World-Class work (in forms of Colour Computer Printouts, Video
cassettes of 2-D and 3-D Animation files) which our Students have
created inside our premises. Thus your claim that you would be innovating
world class material will be fully supported.
Today, Computer education is a very big business and our growth
and performance is directly related to advertising.
Regional advertisement cost is shared by all franchisee
in that region. (i.e. Karnataka, Gujarat, Goa, Mumbai etc.) if applicable.
Local advertisement cost is borne 100% by local
franchisee in that region (i.e. cost of advertisement in local newspapers,
banners, handbills, local exhibition, demonstration in colleges/schools
etc.).
National advertisement is 100% borne by franchisor
(COMPUFIELD HEAD OFFICE)
with name of (city) of centers and tel. no. mentioned in all parts
of India.
International advertisement
is 100% borne by franchisor (COMPUFIELD
HEAD OFFICE) with name of (city) of centers and tel. no. mentioned
in the websites www.compufield.com
& www.compufield.net
At the local level COMPUFIELD
advertises in newspapers like TIMES OF INDIA & MID-DAY.
At the National level COMPUFIELD
advertises in newspapers like TIMES OF INDIA, EXPRESS COMPUTER &
PC QUEST.
A franchise arrangement would distribute
the burden of marketing and advertising at both levels, thus mutually
improving on the profit margin.
WHY
15% ROYALTY?
This question is quite logical.
Please note, COMPUFIELD
(HEAD OFFICE) spends more than 15% to 20% on National and International
Advertisements to promote courses offered by COMPUFIELD.
COMPUFIELD
spends more than 25% in Research and Development,
thus being with the latest technology, in hardware & software
for last 15 years.
Please note, COMPUFIELD
(HEAD OFFICE) gives free training on the latest
courses to the staff members of the franchise center on an ongoing
basis.
Exercises, Sample files & Instruction Manuals are also updated
on an ongoing basis.
