Training and support

Training
: Length of Training: 2 weeks TRAINING DESCRIPTION Window Genie has an extensive at-home pre-training process for owners to begin setting up the business. This includes building a 12 month operational budget, developing a local marketing plan, ordering truck and equipment, vehicle wrap installation, etc. New owners attend 1 week of business management training in Cincinnati, OH learning all of the financial, marketing, and operations systems of the business. Window Genie then sends a Field Training Specialist (FTS) to the franchisee’s location 1 week before Grand Opening to train the owner and the first 2 technicians on all of the core services of the business through 5 days of hands-on training. OPERATIONAL & MARKETING TOOLS Franchisees market their business through digital advertising, ie. PPC, SEO, social media ads, 3rd party lead aggrigators (Angie’s List, Home Adviser, etc.) direct mail campaigns, etc. Window Genie’s corporate marketing team manages all of the listing and advertising placements for each of our owners, helps owners set a local advertising budget to maximize each lead source, and provides a detailed monthly breakdown of ROI from each lead source, cost per click, click to call rate, etc. Window Genie is also part of the Neighborly family of brands. When a new Window Genie location is launched, an email campaign is sent out to the existing customers for the other Neighborly brand customers within the territory – introducing them to the Window Genie brand, services offered, and an introductory discount to use the service for the first time. The Neighborly Broker Hub is a centralized resource built exclusively for our broker and consultant partners to support every stage of the candidate journey. The Hub provides easy access to marketing videos, brand collateral, one-pagers, brochures, and other share-ready materials brokers can confidently send directly to candidates. It also offers simple tools to check priority markets and territory availability, helping brokers quickly identify where each brand is actively focused and growing. In addition, the Broker Hub delivers direct insight from franchise owners and brand leadership through videos, presentations, and event content? So, candidates can hear firsthand what ownership looks like across the brands. Brokers also have direct access to schedule time with Neighborly brand leaders and development teams, making it easy to connect, ask questions, and move opportunities forward efficiently. As part of Neighborly, the Broker Hub is designed to streamline collaboration, increase transparency, and ensure brokers have the most accurate, up-to-date resources when guiding candidates toward the right opportunity. Why sell this franchise Lot of open Territory – currently only 145 locations – your territory checks will come back as OPEN! Executive Business Model – most of our owners do not work the tools Low Investment, Low Overhead – no retail location needed High percentage of Repeat Customers creates annuity cash flow & rapid growth Multiple Revenue Stream for consistent business all year long No cold calling or door knocking – services are marketing driven through digital and print advertising (PPC, SEO, Social Media, Angie’s List, direct mail, etc.) NO nights or weekends – Lifestyle Business – services are scheduled M-F during normal business hours Easy to hire technicians – services do not require a license or experience from employees Overcoming Objections I Was Wondering? Do people really pay to have their windows cleaned? - A: This is easily answered by the volume of calls received by the owners through marketing efforts. During validation, candidates will speak with owners and get the answer. Do I have to climb a ladder? - A: NO. we are looking for the owner to be the manager of the business, not the technician But it’s not sexy? - A: It’s usually the non-sexy businesses that have the best opportunity. We believe in doing those things around the ho
