Benefits of word of mouth
For UW
We bundle together essential home services - energy, broadband, mobile and insurance. In markets which are all very samey, our multiservice offering is something genuinely different.
Conventional advertising isn’t effective at acquiring individual customers who take multiple services - it’s too complicated and there are too many steps. Multiservice customers only come from word of mouth through a trusted recommendation.
Rather than just differentiation, this approach also creates a real cost advantage - our multiservice offer combined with word of mouth recommendations mean we keep our operating costs down while putting money into our Partners’ pockets every time they help a customer save.
That’s why we have over 1 million customers taking over 3 million services all over the UK.
For UW Partners
Our Partners explain who UW is, and show people how bundling can help them save time and money.
They get paid for introducing those people to UW - up to £250 for every multiservice homeowner who signs up.
They can also build their own team of Partners and earn an ongoing residual income in the process. UW Partners earn more than an income. They also get to build something for themselves, whether that’s a business, a reliable second income, a side-hustle or simply a means to an end. What’s more, no prior industry or sales experience is needed, as all training and support are provided by UW.
For the UK economy
Everyone deserves the chance to create a better future for themselves, and we’re committed to expanding the UW Partner opportunity to help more people earn.
Our word of mouth model provides opportunity and flexibility for people from all walks of life, all over the UK.
We’ve recently commissioned a landmark report which examines the impact that second incomes have on the British economy. The report looks at a wide range of income opportunities - from people selling on eBay to renting out property - as well as earning as a UW Partner.The report also examines people’s motivations for seeking out a second income, the stigma that some feel comes from having multiple incomes and where the trend is heading. We’ll be publishing this in May.
