History:

Renue was started in 1991 by 19 year-old Marty Jollette to clean carpets in homes and restaurants. One day he was asked to clean a hotel, and we found our passion – and a compelling business model. Soon thereafter his father joined and took majority control of the company. Franchising began. In 2010 new ownership and management arrived to replace the sleepy owner.

The driving force of the founder remained, and we brought in additional resources. Since then we have put our head down and worked hard to properly support our franchisees. Over the past several years we have experienced solid same-office growth driven by a number of factors including increased home office sales support, heightened marketing, additional customers and a greater number of services offered to our customers.

While over the past five years the number of franchisees has not grown much, we have optimized the network by replacing those that were not a good fit with us higher performing parties. We are now positioned for solid growth and have recently started our international expansion with locations committed to in several countries.

Length of Training: 10 days

Training Description:

Our training is very comprehensive in several key areas.

For one, we teach our franchisee and team how to perform the deep cleaning services we provide. While some work is done at our home office, most is performed at Renue customers in Chicagoland. This way they can experience the work in a live environment. We also teach maintenance and repairs of equipment and importantly customer etiquette.

When they complete initial training they will have a very good sense how to perform our services. We do expect and provide ongoing support where there will undoubtedly be questions which we address in a very timely manner.

We also provide our new franchisee a lengthy and comprehensive Manual.

Second, we devote sufficient time to marketing and sales support. We work with our franchisee owners very closely especially over the first six months to announce to hotels in their market our new franchisee and set up meetings for them. We do this by assembling a detailed and comprehensive database of hotels in their market.

We will then spend time onsite during the first 1-2 months to attend many of these meetings so our franchisee feels comfortable doing them. We continue to contact hotels until the franchisee has met many of them and started building relationship (with the obvious objective of generating sales).

On behalf of all our franchisees we also send a monthly email promotion to hotels. We find this process works well, especially since our franchisees benefit from our reputation and national (and in some cases international) preferred vendor relationships.

Another critical aspect of our sales and marketing is our new company-wide CRM which we have found to be a very useful tool. This is provided no cost to our franchisees.

Our 30+ year experience shows that these systems work well in launching a new location. We continue to work closely with our franchisees on an ongoing basis.
