| Training | Product knowledge workshops and using the technology systems and tools in our stores. The entire infrastructure of the store is preconfigured and setup for you, but it's imperative you learn the basics behind the systems. We understand that you are not a technician, but as a business owner, you need to be able to know the product, speak the language, and understand the processes that your technicians will go through. This part of the training is actually the section our franchisees really enjoy. On-The-Job Training: 20 hours Classroom Training: 63 hours | |
| Support | Ongoing support services include: Grand Opening assistance. Ongoing communication between corporate and franchisees. Planned yearly convention. Continuous networking between franchisees. Personal review of monthly sales figures to ensure proper growth. Continuous research and development.
