Franchising details
Pink Connect have 16 years’ experience in the UK SME Telecoms and IT market and 10 years of that training and supporting Franchisees. We have literally “done it all before”!
Our existing Franchisees have all been through our training and business planning process and have all just resigned for their third five-year renewable Franchise Agreement. A pretty good indication of how happy they are with the way we work together. You can read their testimonials to get their view and speak to them once you are clear you would like to join us.
Once you have the detail services and product knowledge, you will need to put a business strategy and plan together, from which will come your business week diary. Knowing exactly what works in this incredible business will set the pattern for your own business growth. At all times, you will have the resource of the Head Office Team, Our Industry experienced sales staff, established Franchisees, plus James and Gisela Pink, who started the whole thing.
Pink Connect have always looked for the cutting-edge innovations that have been the “obvious sellers”. With the world coming to terms with Cyber Security, there has never been a better time to approach businesses with the comprehensive SME product set Pink Connect offer. Once a customer, businesses tend to stay for the long run. Many of Pink Connects first customers have resigned for their third five-year contract. They love us!

Training and support
Detailed product training is given in our training and Demo Suite at Connect House, Shipston on Stour, Warwickshire. Industry experts are on hand to educate our Franchisees on not only the “how it works” of Internet Access, Cybersecurity, Voice over IP Telephony, and IT networks but how and why it’s relevant to pretty much every business in the UK.
Knowing all the above will still not make for a spectacular start without a clear business strategy and plan. Here, James has a wealth of experience in exactly “what it takes” to give a business a flying start. Pink Connect began from scratch with just James selling and over a 15-month period was billing over £30,000 a month. Remember, that was when he only had a single product - voice calls.
