Intruducing Seekers Spain

AN INTERVIEW WITH LORNA MORGAN, FRANCHISE DIRECTOR ON THE NEW SEEKERS SPAIN PARTNERSHIP

Why a partnership?

Keith Morgan as a Director and an owner helped create Seekers Spain in 1998 and it has quickly established a niche market providing a much needed personal service to clients wishing to buy a home in Spain.

Prior to this a 'coach party' was the common viewing practice in Spain. The time is now right to involve like minded individuals in our business to represent us in various areas of the United Kingdom. We want partners who look at OUR business and say "That's what I want to aspire to in my business.

Many businesses these days are drowning in administration. Seekers Spain has been built on simple clear lines that are very straight forward. The Seekers system will always work to minimize partners' administration.

What do you think the earning potential will be for a partnership?

I believe it will be extremely good, but no business offers high income for no effort. I am confident that the Seekers Spain Partnership will be able to offer a wide range of income from around 20,000 into 6 figure sums. Clearly this will largely be driven by the amount of time partners put into their Franchise. If they imagine that they are a shop, they know they can only sell their stock if the shop is open. Therefore there are two fundamentals in establishing a good business

- Understanding the more they are open, the more chance they have to market their product.

- They need to market in the right areas. They won't be successful if they open a branch of a famous store in the middle of the Sahara Desert!

What sort of people will become partners?

There is no easy answer, as I believe the partnership is for everyone. It's a business that can be run from home, by one partner or two with hours to suit family commitments. It means that a couple who want to be Seekers Spain partners can do so, reducing potential risk by building the business up whilst still continuing to earn an income from existing employment. Then, when the income has reached an acceptable level then you can chose whether to run Seekers Spain full time or to continue as they are.

What is the Partners training like?

We provide a 5 day initial training which is two days in the UK and three days in Spain. I am a visual person and I believe that it is a far better to experience Spain live than through pictures. You will visit the building sites, tour completed houses and get a taste of the local area. You will also get to know the personnel at our Spanish office.

What do you mean selling the dream?

It is a fact that over 70% of British people who buy abroad do so in Spain. Why?

Because the weather is sunny over 320 days of the year, the cost of buying is considerably lower and flying time is only 2 '/z hours from England. You can wake up and be there by lunchtime. Compare that to the relentless wind and rain we experience and the constant traffic jams. I love this business because we are making people happy.

If someone is interested in knowing more about a partnership, what should they do?

There is a partnership brochure available upon request. This sets out the full content of the Seekers Spain package, the initial training, remuneration and business progression, the general contents and quality of the franchise. To request a brochure please email office@seekersspain.com
