WeQueueForYou Investment Pitch

Pitch Summary

• WeQueueForYou: Specializes in helping people get through to busy call centers without having to wait on hold.
• The WeQueue App: Users open the app, enter the number they wish to reach, and hit start. When stuck in a queue, they press the 9* button, end the call, and WeQueueForYou queues for them. Users are reconnected automatically when an agent answers.
• Business Model: The main focus is selling the business product to call centers, generating substantial ongoing revenue streams.
• Market Performance: Several high street brand name customers, over a million minutes of WeQueueForYou for business sold to UK call centers last year.
• Valuation Justification: The company is valued at £15 million, based on the size of the market. According to the Department of Trade and Industry, the UK market is worth £300 million.
• Market Analysis: A study found 6,200 call centers in the UK with 10 or more staff, 66% inbound positions, average agent salary of £15,000, and a 95% answer rate. The 5% of abandoned calls are worth at least £700 million a year in the UK.
• Investor Concerns: There is skepticism about the valuation, given a turnover of £300,000 and a net profit of £40,000.
• Call Center Operations: Callbacks take an agent off inbound calls, potentially increasing the inbound queue and transforming the center into an outbound call center.
• Investor Advice: The investor suggests that a more sensible valuation and investment request could have led to investment.
