Movers can earn by offering their customers discounted utilities.

With removals rates coming under ever increasing pressure these days, it pays to look at ways of generating more income by offering additional services to customers. One area that is largely untapped by removals companies is the utilities market where there are considerable earnings to be made by introducing customers to discounted services when they move house.

One utilities supplier, Utility Warehouse Discount Club owned by Telecom Plus PLC, is offering companies the opportunity to become what they term an ‘Independent Representative’ (IR), where they receive a payment for every new customer referred and a further on going payment of up to 4% of every monthly bill for as long as they remain a customer.

Utility Warehouse Discount Club, services can include telephone, mobiles and broadband as well as electricity and gas, so monthly bills can amount to several hundred pounds. The company claims to offer some of the cheapest prices available and has been voted top for the quality of its products, customer service, value for money and accuracy of bills for the last four years by the consumer magazine, Which? - so they must be doing something right!

To become an IR there is an up front cost of £199.75 which covers the cost of a dedicated website that can be linked to your existing site and enable customers to sign up online. Alternatively customers can phone the company using a freephone number and talk to the sales team directly. Either way the involvement of the IR is minimal, but the monthly income keeps on growing with every new customer.
