Training Description:
The Training at Handyman Connection is some of the most powerful and in-depth Training in the Franchising space. Once a new owner has completed the fees and agreements, they are entered into what we call “Boot Camp”. While we are not waking people up for 5 mile hikes at 4 am, we are implementing a heavy dose of webinar Training over a 5 week period. New owners will work with our Quick Start Manager to work on these webinars from home to build up a vast knowledge of the Brand and the technology. After these 5 weeks, owners will come to what we call TSA, or Training Session A. This is 1 week of classroom style Training at our home office in Cincinnati, OH. once this is done, the owner will head back home and launch the business with the assistance of one of our Operations General Managers. We have on-going training by these General Managers and a TSB and TSC that are done after 90 days and after a year. These are Regional Training events the owner does to enhance their skills and become more proficient with the technology. Lastly we have created Flight Groups, which are small groups of owners that share best practices, review each other’s P&L’s and meet quarterly to help each other grow.
Operational and Marketing Tools:
Here at Handyman Connection, we have a vast amount of technology resources for our owners. Operationally we have a very robust and user-friendly CRM that helps owners stay on top of their day, but it also syncs with about 12 different software’s that help our owners with billing & payroll, scheduling, texting, craftsmen recruiting, craftsmen training, mobile applications and more. In regards to Marketing, we implement a Marketing Eco-System platform that tracks everything you are doing in the marketing and Sales world.
