Purchasing a franchise is usually a painful process, which can destroy the excitement of starting a new business. But we believe that business is about people. We think that approvals, applications, interviews and training processes should be speedy and well defined.

We always try to complete the entire process within 30 days or even less, so that the business gets off the ground as soon as possible. Our main goal is to help our franchises get into the market and start making profits. The following sections describe some of the details involved.

Approval

When an application is submitted, it is reviewed within 72 hours. After the review, an interview is scheduled. Following the interview, any references are checked during the next few days. Then, management makes a decision about approving an applicant for the purchase of a franchise. The approval process can take 5 to 10 business days.

Documentation

The documentation process is very simple. It involves only three documents: the application form that the prospective franchisee must complete, franchise disclosure document required by the Federal Trade commission and the franchise agreement that sets forth the terms and conditions between the company and the franchise.

Education

Our education program enables the franchisees to establish a powerful business in the world of media and marketing.

Finance

Our finance model is flexible, and we generally allow the franchisees to determine how much money they can afford. From time to time, we finance some or all of the franchise fees.

Franchise Fees and Costs

There are four types of fees a franchisee pays:

• Initial franchise fees
• Ongoing royalty fees
• Ongoing advertising fees
• Ongoing data management fees

Interview

The interview is the single most critical criteria in the entire application process to become a franchisee. We look for franchisees those who relate well and are people friendly.

Remote Sales-Assist Program

Our sales trainers understand from their years of experience that it takes time to master product information and selling techniques. To save time, we offer a Remote Sales-Assist Program, where trained sales staff members use an online “Go to Meeting” tool, so they can remotely participate in a sales meeting.

Training and Remote-Assist Sales Training

This process includes online webinar training, an online certification program and customer sales meetings.

Our management team has more than 150 years of collective business, sales management and leadership experience. We believe in the potential of small- and medium-sized businesses. Our local franchisees help them build online business, so they can succeed and grow.
