Conspire! Expands into Texas with First Location to open in Fort Worth

FORT WORTH, Texas – Conspire!, a national provider of affordable, convenient and reliable drug and alcohol testing services, announced today it has inked its first franchise agreement to open a new location in Fort Worth with local entrepreneur Dave Thomas. The new Conspire! location will open within the next 90 days and is the first of 80 locations to open in Texas.

“Having worked in various commercial jobs for nearly 15 years, I am very familiar with the testing process and have witnessed firsthand the positive impact it can have on an employees’ safety as well as a company’s bottom line,” said Thomas. “It has always been a passion of mine to become an owner of a small business that helps others. Conspire! affords me the opportunity to take control of my financial future while educating and supporting the local community with effective drug and alcohol testing services.”

During the past 12 months, the Metroplex region topped the nation’s job growth with more than 134,000 added,* demonstrating a powerful need for drug and alcohol testing services and compliance polices. A survey conducted by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) stated that drug-using employees are 2.2 times more likely to request early dismissal or time off, 2.5 times more likely to have absences of eight days or more, three times more likely to be late for work, 3.6 times more likely to be involved in a workplace accident and five times more likely to file a workers’ compensation claim.
“We go beyond the average drug test,” added Thomas. “We are truly committed to making a difference by using testing to deter substance abuse, identify opportunities for intervention and encourage overall health and safety for all.”

Conspire! combines cutting-edge screening technology with the latest in compliance, education and enforcement in the drug screening industry that offers a total testing solution for its clients across the nation. Services include pre-employment testing, background checks, random drug screening, drug and alcohol awareness training, compliance manuals and support, as well as onsite drug testing available 24/7, certified collectors, DHHS/SAMHSA Laboratory Service, certified MRO services and much more.

The Fort Worth development announcement stems from a larger national growth plan that calls for more than 200 locations to open throughout the United States during the next 24-36 months. Areas of growth include Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Houston, and other prime markets across the nation.

Franchise In-Sites Guides New Care Concept through Online Lead and Sales Maze

Online lead generation is considered a necessary evil by some in the franchising community. However, by working with experts, a company can alter their overall experience and final sales results, even as a new franchise concept. No other company exists that offers the industry experience of Franchise In-Sites, founded by former portal insider David Gollahon in 2008. In addition to that inside perspective and knowledge, key company personnel have diverse franchise backgrounds that include third-party broker networks and franchise concepts as well. That mix is what makes Franchise In-Sites such a powerful tool in franchisee acquisition.

The company fills a unique role by carefully assessing the needs of each concept; including their individual growth goals and concerns, then utilizing lead projections from the online portals themselves to develop the best advertising map for each client. By working with Franchise In-Sites, IKOR USA is achieving their growth goals and even increasing them, based on their initial success.

According to Cynthia Gartman, CFE and president of IKOR, the decision to work with Franchise In-Sites has been crucial to their early success. “Franchise In-Sites’ process for portal selection and management are second to none. They make the lead generation seamless and we couldn’t be more pleased with our lead flow. We are a fairly new system and with the Franchise In-Sites team, we are well on our way to reaching 10 franchises sold in the first 6 months of franchising.”

Franchise In-Sites is proving that even start-up or early-stage franchise systems, given the right mix of ingredients in their development philosophy and processes, can succeed in the online world of lead generation. In IKOR’s case, Franchise In-Sites is providing them with their full-range of services; supplying a dedicated salesperson, who works directly with the franchise, in addition to placing the online ads and analyzing the results. This allows IKOR to operate as if they have an inside sales force, without the added expenses normally associated with that development structure.
