If you are interested in pursuing a consulting career in our industry and would like to own your own business yet be affiliated with and supported by a larger entity, ERC can provide you with a turn-key Franchise Program that enables you to start consulting immediately.

Our program actually begins before you arrive for intensive training in Connecticut. The training is chronologically based and is extremely thorough. There is an emphasis on business development, operations, purchasing and expense category knowledge. Significant ongoing support is also provided as well as the opportunity to work with ERC and other affiliates.

Self employed, performance based consultants possess unique attributes. Unlimited income potential, flexibility, significant personal satisfaction and low overhead are just a few examples. It is an extremely exciting and rewarding career that will make you forget the corporate world you left behind!

What is Outsourcing?

According to Purchasing Today, outsourcing is "the transfer of responsibility to a third party of activities which use to be performed internally." In this age of "rightsizing" and global competition, employees are overburdened and sometimes under qualified to effectively perform their job. In addition, companies sometimes find it cost effective to outsource specific responsibilities such as “reducing the indirect spend,” while focusing on core business functions. As a result, outsourcing has become a popular (not necessarily politically popular) and necessary trend.

What is Supply Chain Management?

Simply put, supply chain management (SCM) consists of the development, integration and management of suppliers and technology, to meet the needs of the end customer.

Our Goals

ERC's goal is to assemble a team of professionally trained and supported, corporate cost reduction consultants, which small to mid-sized companies turn to for their expense reduction needs. Our Franchise program provides us with the unique ability to leverage the purchasing power, accomplishments and expertise of our franchisees, which in-turn maximizes the benefits received by our clients.
