A New Business Model for Locksmiths

Taking the trade of locksmithing to a new level of business operation, Brad Hunter and Mark Ashwell have opened a new company together. Hunter-Ashwell Associates, will be joining the skills of licensed locksmiths who have significant experience in their field and are skilled in commercial and bank locks as well as residential. For several years, Brad has been forming a business model to bring the best in the field together and operate as a team instead of competing on every corner.

(PRWEB) April 12, 2005 -- I have looked at the competition, I have worked for different companies and Ive noticed that they all seem to run like a small isolated business. They all compete for work, they all hire multiple skill levels of employee and they all have one person in charge of the group. This seems to be true of the larger companies that have more than one location as well. I think if every job that is done at a company has to funnel through one person, there is a very real limit to the quality of service and the size job they can handle. My experience has shown me that these two limitations are directly tied together. Our business model is specifically designed to untie this relationship, allowing a higher quality of service and on a limitless scale. The more members of our association, the more jobs and area we can handle. However to accomplish this, all of our associates must be licensed locksmiths, not generic field techs as many companies use. This is especially important where master key systems and bank locks are concerned. We will also encourage companies to open accounts with us for easy billing." -- Brad

Brad describes his new business model as similar to a real estate office. The primary company will supply advertising, standardized charges and billing, a supply chain and many other business related tasks. The locksmiths, not unlike a realtor will have to be licensed and will work for a split of the revenue instead of an hourly wage. Locksmiths will also be encouraged to bring repeat business and accounts through an incentive program.

Businesses keep your eye on Hunter-Ashwell. A business model like this will bring all of the best in the field together under one phone number -- 1-888-308-5625. This will also allow you to request the locksmith of your choice, for that personal touch and the comfort of knowing who is securing your locks. Of course if you need emergency service, the first available locksmith will be happy to serve you.
