Continuous training opportunities

Here at ServiceMaster Clean, we believe strongly in continuous training to keep up to date with the latest trends in floorings, upholstery and furnishings and the equipment to clean them. That’s why we arrange many additional training programmes for franchisees so that they can keep on top of their game.

This week we had a full day training with the National Carpet Cleaning Association (NCCA) for additional training on Textile Insect Pest Control. Fleas, moths, beetles and other household insects can destroy the fibres in carpets and upholstery, leaving holes and an odour. Not only this, but they can irritate human and pet skin.

The training is a great way of keeping up to date with the latest legalities surrounding pesticides and providing these types of treatments in customers homes, as well as the most effective and safest techniques in doing so. A secondary benefit is that its a good opportunity for the network to come together and discuss their learnings too!

We are all for ensuring that the customer receives the best and most effective service for their requirement, particularly when we are one of a select few businesses to offer this service due to the complexity of it. Our brand is known to have a great reputation in the market for both cleaning and insect treatments. This helps when growing your business!

If you’d like to invest in a franchise where we keep up with the latest trends in the market and fully support our franchise owners growth in training and expertise, a ServiceMaster Clean Franchise could be for you.

5 questions to ask a Franchisor

The research process to buying a franchise is an important one. There are a minimum of 5 questions to ask a franchisor to help you in this process. These questions aren’t the typical questions relating to financials and what you get for your investment.

These 5 questions are ones that could potentially help you to make your decision based on your human needs.

  1. In what areas do you offer support? 
    Why – You might be strong in some areas of business, but not others. You need to ensure you’re strong in all
    Our answer – We offer support in all areas of the business.
  2. Are there any existing franchise owners who have come from a similar background?
    Why – You can then ask for their story and if you could be put in touch with them
    Our answer – We absolutely can match you to existing franchisees in our networks and of course, you can chat with them.
  3. Do you have a ‘buddy scheme’? 
    Why – Partnering up with a more established business owner can help you to follow in their footsteps, learn from their mistakes and grow
    Our answer – We do!
  4. Are there any additional training opportunities?
    Why – The initial training might not be enough, could be too overwhelming and over too quickly for some
    Our answer – Absolutely, we offer continuous refresher and new training opportunities.
  5. What communal events do you have and do you recognise achievements? 
    Why – Communal events represent togetherness and recognising achievements fosters motivation
    Our answer – We do, large events at least once per year and regional events quarterly. Our awards our annual too.

Through asking the above 5 questions, you’re giving the franchisor the opportunity to respond to your human needs.

If there’s anything else we can help with, most questions have been asked and there’s no such thing as a silly question so ask away.
