Having now bagged my fourth customer (in as many weeks), I was asked to reveal the secrets of my success. But, really I don't think there are any secrets. It's just been common sense and following closely what I learned in the training and picking up the tips on the blogs. Remember that the training was based on a business model that has been proven to work, so use it! Sure, it may need to be tweaked for your local area, but I've now got 3 customers in the small town (population of just 6000) in which I live.

"Every multi-million pound enterprise started life as a small business, so I'm delighted to be helping firms take on the big brands by using their website as a truly effective business tool. It really is their shopfront to the world - maximizing their advertising and enabling them to sell, literally, while asleep.

What impressed me most about ORCA is its focus on the specific needs of individual businesses. Their team of specialist website designers produce tailored sites to enhance the business of particular customers. We're not just selling any old website for its own sake. There is never one-size-fits-all - all businesses have unique selling points and specific target customer bases".

"After being in the same industry for 22 years, working long hours six days a week, I was looking for a change, but my options were limited. I had looked at other franchises in the same field as I was already in, but they didn’t suit what I was looking for.

I was looking for a better life/work ratio with the flexibility of being my own boss, but also having the backing of an established business to give me guidance and support. Also, having a young family, I couldn’t go any great length of time with no income.

In the ORCA franchise I have found just what I was looking for. The business model really works, the back up and support from ORCA has been second to none and after only four weeks I started making money.

Everything ORCA said in the literature is true, so making the choice to join ORCA really has been the start of a new, and better, life".

“After 20 something years in advertising and marketing, I had decided to set up my own web design business but found it harder making headway on my own having to rely on ‘preferred’ web builders and designers. Then I discovered ORCA. They provided me with the opportunity to be in business with a fantastic support team and, crucially, an amazing product.

There is nothing quite like it in the marketplace. The ORCA business model allows franchisees to sell tailor-made website solutions to clients that grow with their businesses. This allows franchisees to build ongoing relationships with clients so we are able to add value as consultants or mentors.

ORCA provides outstanding design, flexible, user-friendly websites that pretty much ‘sell’ themselves. Coupled with fast, efficient turnaround, an open door policy with people (you can pick up the phone anytime when you need to speak with any member of the team, including other franchisees) and a virtual office system to make the admin a doddle, and you’ve got an unrivalled web franchise”.
