Concerto Networks

Testimonials Hear what some of our existing Franchisees have to say about their decision to join Concerto Networks’ growing national network of Mobile Information Technology (IT) Franchises. Making the decision to devote your talents and efforts to owning and operating a business is one of the most important decisions you can make. Hearing the thoughts of others who have gone before you can help ease some of the questions you may have or calm the fear you may feel about taking the step. “My goal is to help my clients to become more productive. Instead of users spending time trying to fix their own problems, or researching a new tool they heard about, that is now my job, this is all part of their support package. Our remote support tools allow the user to send us messages requesting support. They can also call the toll free number or local Lake Arrowhead number to request help. The service pages our team and passes on the message instantly. I believe in helping people learn to help themselves, that is part of what I enjoy about owning and operating a franchise. And Concerto Networks worked with my needs and listens to my suggestions, this flexibility and team spirit attracted me to them versus the other franchise options out there.” - D.G., Lake Arrowhead, CA I commend you on the forward thinking and cutting edge direction you are taking Concerto Networks®. With so many franchises available, this is exactly why I chose this model as "my business" and not one of the other "job" franchises. Concerto Networks has been, and continues to be, a great experience. During my discovery and learning phase, I never felt any sales pressure from anyone. I was always given the answers and guidance I asked for. After coming on board with Concerto Networks that feeling has not changed. - R.H., Staten Island, NY I am a sales person who happens to be in the telecom and technical field. My family is and has always been a business oriented family. Many families talk about sports at the dinner table, we discussed customer care, investing, cash flow, supply and demand and tax law. I was destined to one day to be independently employed. I was attracted to the Concerto Networks opportunity because I liked the idea of leveraging my sales leadership, telecom background and entrepreneurial experience in a franchise environment. Like many small independent consultants having a “plan” to acquire new business, grow the business and do all the back office support tasks was daunting. As I learned more about franchising, the more I liked the independence combined with the accountability of working within a defined system which gives the support I need. - J.W., Cumming, GA The Concerto Networks Team has provided a warm welcome and all the backend support and training that I could ask for. Previously I was working a 9-5 schedule at a hospital in downtown Boston and found myself spending 13 hours a day including my commute at work. I knew that if I could focus that energy and commitment to a business of my own with a growing national brand name, I could regain control of my time and prosper as well. - B.E., Stoneham, MA We decided to convert our existing business to a Concerto Networks franchise. We realized that our business had stopped growing because of lack of branding and the corporate feel of reliability and consistency. We want to keep growing and we believe that Concerto Networks is the engine that will put us on that road to success. We are IT guys, not marketing consultants and appreciate the marketing support the franchise system provides. I also like the idea of friendly competition among the franchise network. Being part of a team keeps you playing your "A" game. - D.N., San Diego, CA Since this is my first experience with a franchise, I really did not know what to expect and in the end I got more than I anticipated. During training, I was rarely bored and found the pace sustainable while adding significant new information to my personal knowledge base. I am prepared to go forth and prosper as a Concerto Networks Franchise Owner and I look forward to working with all of you to help support and grow the brand. It is certainly obvious how much work has gone into Concerto Networks to this point and I am sure we will see constant improvements as the evolution continues. Thanks again for a successful training week and I look forward to working with you all as we move forward. - S.P., Cincinnati, OH Previously I was employed by some very forward technology companies, both as an innovator (ATT and EDS) and as a user (Morgan Stanley). As satisfying as this was, I felt that I was always subject to the economies of the current business climate. I was never able to provide to my clients what I felt they deserved and expected. I wanted the ability to control my own future according to the way I wanted to be treated as a customer. A success profile about Concerto Networks® caught my attention in Entrepreneur Magazine. I was intrigued about the lack of service and professionalism the company''s founder, Ray Hivoral, experienced when he tried to get his laptop fixed and how he came up with the idea of creating a national franchise business specializing in Information Technology (IT). After careful consideration and researching the other IT business models that exist, I decided to proceed and invest in a Concerto Networks franchise. - D.C., Maplewood, New Jersey I decided early after researching the other franchises that if I was going to do it, it would be with Concerto Networks. I established my own small business a couple years back but never had the confidence to pursue it full time due to my small reach. I felt that Concerto Networks was my answer, a company with a national reach to help my business grow. Concerto Networks has treated me like family. Everyone I have worked with from the CEO down has been encouraging and helpful in assisting me to get closer to my dream of being a successful business owner. - S.J., Leesburg, VA I always dreamed of running my own business and after leaving the corporate world, decided to take the next step and devote my talents to owning and operating a Concerto Networks franchise. The choice was simple, "I enjoy the entrepreneurial spirit and the ability to solve my client's computer and technology problems while still having time to enjoy my family." I began operations of my individual franchise less than six months after I made the purchase. My goal is to help turn the business into a "hometown" name and eventually pass the franchise on to my family. - M.M., San Marcos, CA I first learned of Concerto Networks while flipping through San Diego's ComputorEdge® Magazine. I inquired about the available business opportunities and was immediately attracted to the company's business model; I was particularly impressed with the thorough back office support offered to each individual franchisee. After meeting with Concerto Networks' executive team, I was convinced this would be a worthwhile endeavor. I was thinking about purchasing a single unit franchise, but when I shared my interest with a colleague, we decided to invest in a larger area as business partners. We began operations for our individual franchise one month after we made the purchase. - S.S., San Diego, CA
