Vacant Room Before Staging Training

Nashville Room Staged by New Franchisees at Training

Never staged a home before?  Not a problem.

Not sure how to introduce a new concept into your community?  No big deal.

One of the things that we are quite aware of at Showhomes is that we are only as good as our franchisees allow us to be, and by now you’ve probably come to the conclusion that we expect to be really good.  So how do we make this happen?

Our intense training covers everything you need to know to start strong – how you acquire homes to stage, how you recruit Home Managers to live in your homes, how you stage and manage  homes as well as heavy doses of product knowledge, sales training, administration, office setup, technology and building brand locally.

Just to give you an idea, here are a few of the ways that we are tackling training and support:

• A 30 day program to help you organize your business, set up your office,  and jumpstart your marketing efforts
• 1 week of classroom training in Nashville that covers the basics
• Field training in a franchise so you can see how it is done and get your feet wet (expanding in 2010)
• Online operations manual and document center that is keyword searchable so you can get answers when you need them (Launching in early 2010)
• Post classroom training & weekly peer calls on progress, training, and accountability so you stay on track long after the classroom
• Regional basic and advanced training sessions so your staff can get expert training
• Regional owners’ meetings so you can get useful facetime with other Showhomes franchisees as possible and soak up what works in other markets
• Weekly Showtalk! call for owners and occasionally staff so you are always abreast of what is going on in Showhomes
• A field visit in the first year and occasionally thereafter
• A training resources center online so documents and files are always at your fingertips
• Online forums and video training modules so you can access our material at your speed
