Training & Support
Comprehensive ProgramOur training manuals, online training modules, and video presentations will arm you with the information you need to run a successful mobile floor and window coverings business. After you purchase the franchise, you receive six weeks of pre-training that you complete at home. You will be guided through this pre-training by members of the Nationwide corporate staff. Your pre-training will immerse you in product, sales, networking, and marketing knowledge. During pre-training, you will be assessed to verify not only that you are completing, but are also able to implement the information provided. Then, you will receive extensive classroom training at our corporate headquarters. This classroom training will be conducted by various staff members and industry experts. At our on-site training, you will actually be performing many of the tasks necessary to operate your business. We want to make sure that when you get back to your market, you hit the ground running. Of course, there is a lot to learn and you will need resources on an ongoing basis. Nationwide University is accessible on-line to help you learn all about your new industry. It is always available 24/7 as a constant reference tool.
Ongoing Training and Support
Your training does not end when you start operating your business. Our comprehensive operations manuals will be a source of ongoing reference and are conveniently accessed from our intranet (NationwideNet). Our annual meeting and regional workshops are always packed with sessions about new products, marketing programs, support systems, national accounts, and a variety of other types of information. You are assigned a personal advisor who will be your business coach during regular support meetings. Your training and support advisor (TSA) will come and visit you after you have reached a pre-determined sales goal. During this field visit, he will make sure that your sales, marketing and administrative systems are set up to meet NationwideÕs standards and specifications. Your TSA will assist you with your marketing plan plus analyze your management and financial reports. Your TSA and other members of the Nationwide HQ staff will also be available on an ongoing basis to assist you with any questions you may have. We consistently hear favorable responses from our current franchisees as to our responsiveness and ability to assist.
Why Nationwide Floor & Window Coverings?
Set your goals
The Nationwide franchise investment is modest, operating expenses are low and your potential for success is high. Nationwide will provide you with the training you need as well as all of the systems needed to run your business. Your overhead is limited; you have no storefront and carry no inventory. You'll own two franchises in one, a mobile floor covering business and a mobile window coverings business. The floor coverings market is experiencing steady growth and is approaching a $50 billion per year industry, while the window coverings market represents a $10 billion per year industry. Our products are in high demand and these are big-ticket items. Nationwide can easily be run as a one-person business. There are financial models available that help determine the right time to expand. When business increases, bringing on an Office Manager to run the administrative tasks is your next step. This frees you up to do more networking and relationship building. Many couples in our current system run the business as a husband and wife team. This is a great way to own a business together. As a couple, you divide up the three roles that are available - administrative, sales, and marketing. In our business, administrative tasks are scheduling appointments and installs, answer-ing phones and emails, ordering products, as well as keeping the books. The sales function involves selling to customers in their home. The marketing part of the business is executing your specific marketing plan which includes local networking events as well as calling on targeted accounts to present The Nationwide Advantage.
As a Nationwide Floor & Window Coverings franchisee you will be able to offer an extensive selection of name-brand carpet, vinyl, laminate flooring, hardwood, tile/stone, area rugs, and window coverings. All of our products are purchased direct from major mills and distributors of the industry's finest floor and window coverings. In addition, our franchisees' mobile showrooms have a custom racking system that transport hundreds of styles and thousands of colors of today's most fashionable floor and window coverings.
