Leading Australian entrepreneur, Bruce Doyle, is the latest business expert to invest in a website empire, opening Bloomtools Melbourne Central this week.
Bruce, who has owned more than 20 successful businesses and worked with some of the world's best entrepreneurs, was so impressed with the Bloomtools system and tools that he started his own Bloomtools franchise in Melbourne and became the master licensee for Victoria.
After having his own bad experiences with unreliable, outdated website developers, Bruce was searching for an established company that he could trust to deliver professional, results-focused online tools.
When I came across Bloomtools, I knew they were the type of company I wanted to be associated with because they are so passionate about business and the Internet and they have the world-class tools to back it up, he said.
Having been in business myself, I can really see the value in the products for a small business owner websites and Internet marketing solutions that are affordable and easy-to-use, have real business purpose and functionality and best of all, are able to grow and change as the business grows, said Bruce.
The Bloomtools system is ideal for someone like me that understands business but doesn't have any web design skills while I'm focused on attracting and managing clients, the expert team of software developers and graphic designers at Bloomtools HQ are building the online solutions for me, said Bruce.
Bruce believes that Bloomtools really stands out from the other website development franchises in the market because it's more than just a sales job.
Bloomtools is different because you get a complete business that you can grow with premises and staff, rather than just a glorified sales job so you own the business rather than just work for it, which is the secret to real success, said Bruce.
Having worked with some of the largest franchise businesses in the world, Bruce understands the importance of an experienced franchisor that offers a range of support tools for franchisees.
I feel confident selling Bloomtools products to my clients because I know I have the experienced HQ team behind me, with their support technicians and project managers ensuring my jobs are always delivered on-time and to budget, said Bruce.
I'm proud to be a franchisee of such an innovative, forward-thinking company and I'm excited that I can provide world-class online solutions to small to medium businesses in Melbourne, he said.
