So how does it work?
It is really important to us to find the
right people to join our Franchise. We are not in the
business to “sell” Franchises. Franchisees need to
belong to our team so it is important that we can work
together. We therefore ask for an initial meting without
any obligation so you can see whether you like us and
what we offer, and we can see if we feel you would be
suitable to join our team.
We have built up a superb group of
Franchisees and, as we work closely together in training
and development of our business, it is important for us
to ensure you will be able to become part of the group.
The informal chat is held at our head office in Longton,
which also gives you the chance to look at a working
office. If you then wish to proceed we take you through
the five steps to success.
1. Territory Franchisee, you
are assigned sole rights to an area. Once an area is
chosen a small deposit reserves it to enable you to find
suitable premises.
2. Premises You require
retail-type premises of approximately 1000sq ft in a
position that is reasonably prominent, whilst avoiding
the high costs of a premium site. We will assist you in
selecting a suitable location and in negotiating the
lease. All MovingWorks offices are prepared to the same
specification, with distinctive exterior and interior
signage, and standard colour schemes, fixtures, fitting
and furnishings.

3. Training Prior to your
opening, we will train you comprehensively in accordance
with the MovingWorks Operations Manual, a copy of which
will be issued to you. The course at our HQ aims to
prepare you thoroughly for your role as Franchisee and
concentrates on every aspect of property valuation,
sales negotiation, client care, documentation, staff
recruitment, administration and accounting procedures.
We want your start-up to be a smooth as possible and as
you open for business, a member of the support team will
be on site with you for a specified number of days, to
assist generally and provide initial hand-holding.
4. Obtaining your first
client To set the ball rolling, a programme of
launch publicity material will spread the news of your
arrival in your area. With highly competitive fees and a
distinctly positive approach to residential property
sales. MovingWorks offers significant advantages. Past
experience shows it will not take too long for
instructions to be received from vendors who recognise
MovingWorks as their preferred option in finding a
buyer.
5. Developing your
business The MovingWorks website is without doubt
an extremely effective marketing tool and the day you
become operational as a Franchisee, your office will
become part of http://www.movingworks.co.uk/.
In addition, you will have quality
literature to promote your services, headlining the
particular fixed fee that you offer. Your own efforts
will also contribute appreciably to your local
reputation and referrals from satisfied clients will be
an ongoing
objective. |
