Above the Standard Procurement Group

Above the Standard Procurement Group Inc. provides outsourced procurement, purchasing and cost reduction services to businesses ranging in gross revenues beginning at $500,000. Our franchise business owners reduce costs and improve the cash flow of business clients without jeopardizing quality. Our President and CEO, Ted Landgraf, has been active in developing these business services over the past thirty years culminating in the development of this business model which is now available for franchising.
Our franchise business owners appreciate key differences between ATSPG and other business consulting models.
Franchisees own a protected territory and have the ability to develop a long term relationship with their clients through the breadth of the services that they offer and by doing so develop long term relationships with their clients. Our franchise business owners are trained and supported in providing services in a wide variety of procurement, purchasing and cost reduction areas. This is a true franchise business ownership model with each Franchisee having the ability to sell or transfer their business.
Additionally, our franchise business owners book their appointments through an appointment company which qualifies the business lead and schedules the initial meeting. There is no need for cold calling or meaningless prospecting on the part of the ATSPG franchise business owner. This translates into a much quicker time for the Franchisee to get their business up and running.
