RA Group franchisee David Townsend has only been with the network

since November 2024, but he’s already feeling right at home.

Reflecting on the decision to join the group, David says, ‘I’d got to the

stage in my career where I was sick and tired of the corporate structure. I

wanted more influence over my own day-to-day.

“I’m no economist, but it’s very clear that the economic outlook is

different today than it was five or 10 years ago, and I wanted a little bit

more control over my life.”

It’s fair to say he’s been vindicated. With a background in

telecommunications and sales and marketing, his experience in

appointment setting and closing business has seen him focus on client

acquisition to great success. ERA Group’s ability to attract specialists

from a wide range of industries means they can deliver best-in-class

business strategy and cost management solutions for their clients.

Collaborating every

step of the way

ERA Group’s unique joint

venture structure allows David

to collaborate with other

franchisees to best service

customers. It’s this collaborative

nature that has made his start

as an ERA Group franchisee

so successful, he says. He

has been fully embraced by

the network from the very

beginning. “Just before I signed

my franchise agreement, I was

invited to the annual conference. I wasn’t a franchisee, but I was given

the opportunity to really see what the group was like. Every single person

who had a franchise at the conference, without fail, offered me advice

and help.”

The assistance provided to new franchisees goes beyond the informal,

with each new franchisee being given a mentor. These mentors act as

sounding boards for new franchisees. David explains, “The mentoring

system has worked out really well for me. I’ve been married up with

somebody with a very different skill set to me. My mentor is very

analytical and very strong on the spreadsheet side of the business. They

have been there to really help me with that side of things, which wasn’t

my strength.”

Looking back on his trajectory with ERA Group so far, David stresses

that anyone interested in becoming a

franchisee must be willing to put in the

work. He concludes, “It’s an opportunity that

clearly rewards those with the skills and the

willingness to work hard.

“Whether you’re an expert salesperson, an

experienced project manager, or just want

to be better rewarded for your efforts, I

recommend you get in touch with ERA

Group today.”
