What happens on a Nautilus Window Cleaning Franchise Course?
From the very first contact you will feel inspired and motivated to grow your own business.
Pre – Franchise Course – Free Zoom Meeting
Developing you is essential to become successful. We need to find out where you are at present in terms of being a Technician, a Manager or an Entrepreneur! You can ask as many questions as you would like and we will ask you some too.
Also, during our initial Zoom meeting we will discuss the first part of the training which will be about D.I.S.C. (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness & Compliance) and you will be asked to take a short twenty minute D.I.S.C. personality test prior to moving forward. The test will be at your own expense and costs less than fifteen pounds and is carried out by an external company. After you have taken the test and forwarded us a copy, we will invite you for a second Zoom meeting…
Why is D.I.S.C. important?
We need to understand how to listen and talk with each other should we go forward with your window cleaning franchise purchase. Therefore we need to know what your D.I.S.C profile is. Teodora Smith is a qualified D.I.S.C. trainer and probably the only one in the Window Cleaning Industry. Darran Smith who will be one of your key training instructors is a very strong D.I. We can’t wait to find what your personality trait is.
The second Free Zoom meeting
During this Zoom meeting we will really find out if we are a good fit for each other. Our aim is to help everyone succeed in business but we know not everyone can succeed. We would not want to take anyone’s hard earned money for a franchise if we do not believe they can succeed with us. Again you will be able to ask us questions that you need clarification on.
When you decide to buy a Nautilus Window Cleaning Franchise
We will send you non disclosure agreements and after a Franchise contract for your perusal. Other materials will be given to explain the opportunity further. Together we will discuss a suitable time frame to get you started and onboarded!
