You've Got Maids Prepared by from Concept History Description The Foundation Frank and Cynthia Berger founded You ve Got Maids after long, successful careers in the franchise industry. Their goal is to help other people own their own business and truly live the American Dream. Both their grandparents immigrated to the US with barely any money and, ironically, each became cleaners. They eventually changed their families futures. Our founders understand what it s like to have the entrepreneurial spirit, but how daunting it is to redirect your destiny by yourself. The first step is the hardest. That s where we step in to help. The Beginning Thirty years ago, Frank and Cynthia went directly into the franchise sector from graduate school. Among many achievements, they owned and operated the 4th seasonally busiest Domino s Pizza in the system. Desiring better work-life balance, the Bergers sold their locations and began researching opportunities to leverage their learnings into starting a franchise. You've Got Maids is a 14-year-old company that began in 2005 as a single unit, then multiple unit, environmentally friendly residential cleaning business founded and operated by Frank and Cynthia Berger. After 5 years of perfecting systems, operating tools, and marketing strategies, the Bergers began franchising You've Got Maids in July 2010. In a just few short years, You've Got MAIDS now has more than 50 franchisees servicing over 88 territories in 22 states... from Seattle to South Florida. In 2015, You've Got Maids began heavy reinvestment in the brand with human capital and renewed operating systems by hiring industry veterans in the COO and VP of Operations and Development positions and implementing updated mystery shop, monthly business reviews with each franchisee, new marketing portals, and new training systems. After intense deliberation, they resolved that the house cleaning sector presented great opportunity due to its deep fragmentation with few regional or national brand leaders. Combined with exciting unit level economics unique to service-based businesses, the idea was born and the first You ve Got Maids opened in 2005, first in Orlando and then Charleston, and sold its first franchise in 2010. In five short years, we ve opened more than 50 locations stretching from California and Washington to the Eastern Seaboard. The Brand The You ve Got Maids operating platform was carefully crafted to attract and maintain our target demographic of busy, affluent women ages 40-65. From the logo design to the national call center at headquarters to the sales closing scripts and ongoing local marketing optimization, we have the tools to support you. Our founders operated the flagship offices, run the company daily, personally train each new owner, and proudly provide unlimited, one-on-one sales, marketing, and management coaching day or night or weekend along every milestone in building your empire. Guaranteed. Just add your own entrepreneurial drive. Description Ideal Candidate
Zoracle franchisee benchmarking results are due April 10. In the meantime, although we attract prospects with diverse backgrounds of white and blue collar work histories, we believe our best performing franchisee has a sales and marketing background who enjoys managing and incentivizing others and selling directly to customers by phone and in-person appointment. Additionally, our ideal candidate enjoys the servicebased business lifestyle with few of the retail trappings. Training Initial and ongoing training is provided by the franchisor. Initial training consists of two steps: 1) At-home, self-paced syllabus of online courses, videos, and other materials. 2) 5-day classroom-style capstone class in Charleston, SC that reinforces earlier training with real-life scenarios, role-playing, local franchise office tour, and hands-on cleaning experience that culminates in the complete and executable 30-60-90 day Marketing Plan and Financial Plan against which we measure results and make adjustments. Availablility United States Ongoing training takes place via weekly Operations webinars, monthly one-to-one business reviews, the annual franchisee convention, and an extensive online library of Operations tools, videos, scripts, and spreadsheets on all management and cleaning topics from estimating to cleaning techniques. Local franchise partner employee training is made simple through training portal videos and tests that remove the time-burdensome routine of on-boarding new employees from owners and management.
