Regional

License agreements developed using Workingswell's unique negotiating system are regional in nature. This enables our contributors to potentially sell their information and training a number of times which lowers the asking price to all. It also allows them to recognise the very different potentials that exist from one location to another and give price quotations accordingly.

At the same time the Regional aspect provides an important level of competition protection for the purchaser. It prevents the contributor from selling the same information to somebody else for use in the same region.

The geographic boundaries of the region are established early in the negotiating process. The potential purchaser outlines the region by naming the city and surrounding smaller centers that comprise the region and requesting a reserve. If that area is not available the reservation fee is returned. In some cases alterations to the boundary may be suggested.

Regional F.A.Q.

Q...Does the regional aspect mean I couldn't sell products to anyone not living nearby ?

A...No it doesn't mean that. The limitation accepted by the licensee is one placed on marketing (the active pursuit of sales) not upon the servicing of any particular sale. To explain further: If you as a licensee were to receive a call from a customer from outside the region, you would be free to pursue the potentials of the call and ship items without breaking the agreement. Actively seeking such an enquiry, by whatever means, successful or not, would violate the agreement.

Q...Would the licence prevent me from selling my business once I get it developed ?

A... One of the great benefits of working for yourself and developing a successful business is that in the process you organise an infrastructure that is in itself valuable to others. In fact holding the licence would demonstrate that you have knowledge and skills that are not commonplace to offer as part of your business. The licence is transferable but may not be duplicated, meaning that you may teach the skills to a new owner but you cannot continue in business yourself as well.

Q... What is Workingswell's definition of a region?

A...The standard is any city and its surrounding smaller centres. Huge cities such as London or New York are a region just as smaller ones are. This is to prevent problems arising from managing territorial boundaries within a city. However a license should be expected to be more expensive in line with the greater population and therefore potential.

Q... Is it possible to buy the rights to more than one region?

A... Absolutely and if you can afford the investment it's a great idea. Buying one license puts you in a great negotiating position for buying licences for neighboring cities . You could develop a separate business in each city or hold the licences as an investment that also protects you from competition.
