A Unique Recession Proof Home Based Business
The effects of drug abuse in the workplace can be measured in many ways. Dollars lost in increased workers compensation premiums, employee production and theft are virtually incalculable, but estimated to be in the billions of dollars every year. With layoffs and downsizing being so prevalent in today's economy, employers are using this opportunity to cull out drug users by more frequent drug testing and by taking advantage of a growing labor pool. We are truly fortunate to be in a business that prospers regardless of economic cycles.
There isn't a one of us that hasn't witnessed the devastation of seeing bright children; good students begin a spiraling descent into drug induced behaviors. The cost is far beyond dollars to the families who watch their most beloved treasures slip away. How do we put a price tag on that kind of despair and hopelessness? Kids don't stop using drugs because the economy is up or down. That certainly isn't good news for any of us as a society, but it once again makes our efforts meaningful and profitable-even in a recessionary economy.
Not only does The Drug Test Consultant (DTC) offer a superb suite of drug testing services, Executive Associates of DTC will participate in the "Summit" Marketing System and "Platinum Hot Lead Program". Imagine having people interested in what you have to offer waiting for your call. In marketing parlance, it just doesn't get much better than that. No cold calls or door knocking to enjoy the potential of a six figure income.
There are two major components involved in helping to solve the problem. 1.) It is said, and it is true, that knowledge is power. DTC and our team of Associates enable businesses and parents to KNOW if the problem exists. 2.) Together, as a team, DTC and our Associates can educate and empower people to make the critical changes necessary to begin solving the problem.
We work together in a true partnership to help others. Our clients are the victims of drug abuse in their families and the workplace and they are first and foremost in our hearts and minds. What could be better than truly serving others and making our communities a better place to live? It is often said and we believe it to be an absolute truth: Find work that is meaningful and that you enjoy---and the financial success will come.
The fact is that year after year illegal substance abuse is growing in the workplace and within our families. Efforts by government, places of worship, and community based initiatives have failed to stem the problem in the past, and sadly, will do no better in the future. The timing for the services offered by DTC is impeccable and the need is only going to grow in the future.
Technological advances in the drug testing arena are rapid and ever changing. Today, through a state of the art technology developed in conjunction with a strategic alliance partner of DTC, a "swipe" using a special tissue on any surface, such as a computer keyboard, will allow us to immediately know if drug residue is present on the surface being tested. The employee or child does not have to be present during testing. Imagine the benefit to employers and families. Through the auspices of DTC and DTC Certified Associates, the knowledge needed to address the problem is quickly brought to the forefront and properly addressed. One of two things will occur: 1.) Peace of mind. The best possible news is that no illegal substances were detected and we are able to offer peace of mind to our client, or 2.) The need for further testing. In today's workplace and home environment, we are finding evidence of drug usage in a huge number of cases. We are able to assist our clients wi th further testing through an alliance network of over 7000 laboratories to verify results. DTC Associates enjoy the benefits of repeat business and many referrals. It's a business that just grows and grows.
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
