Assisting larger clients with more of their costs, and recruiting qualified Franchisees, are keys to more growth.
Clayton investor Kevin Bowe announces he and his partner, Rick Jacobsen of Kansas City, have purchased 10% of Alliance Cost Containment, a national affiliation of cost management consultants. Bowe and Jacobsen will work with ACC founder and owner Douglas Arbuckle of Louisville Kentucky to franchise the business and expand it in the United States. With 38 current affiliates in 21 different states, they hope to grow to 100 Franchises in 30 states by the end of 2005. Improving brand marketing, accelerating affiliate learning, and recruiting new Franchises in key locations is given top priority for growth. Both Bowe and Jacobsen also own franchises in St Louis and Kansas City. In their new roles as Vice Presidents of Alliance Cost Containment, they plan on using their extensive experience providing consulting and outsourcing services to technology companies in the US and Europe to introduce new services, win larger engagements, and attract top talent to the network. “This is a clear opportunity for Rick and I to help more ‘home town’ companies across America to save real money, keep jobs, and improve competitiveness.”, says Bowe. The Alliance Cost ContainmentSM process has been used successfully since 1992 by the growing network of affiliates. Nearly 400 clients have saved over $25M since it’s inception. Affiliates help companies reduce operating expenses by competitively re-negotiating select recurring purchases to ensure companies get the best price available for comparable goods and services. Clients’ pay based only upon what they actually save, and enjoy continued savings long after the 1-year implementation period.
