On-Going Support of Owners
After your initial 3-week training in Las Vegas, additional support is available to you from Sit Means Sit Corporate as you launch and manage your franchise.
However, Sit Means Sit Corporate will not take it to the point of being invasive nor having us play the role of an “armchair” quarterback to your business.
Remember you can repeat basic training anytime without any additional tuition fee (though travel and living expenses associated with training are your sole responsibility).
Sit Means Sit holds an annual conference for all Franchise owners. The 3-day agenda includes discussion of marketing, Demonstration skills, dog training skills, product enhancements, pricing, and business trends that impact operations of a franchise.
Sit Means Sit holds a National Seminar Tour featuring Regional ‘Trainers Only’ Gatherings. These seminars are hosted as weekend events. This venue provides an intimate setting for honing your dog handling skills and refining your business operations. We use video as a critical tool to induce the learning curve on all levels of your “Demo Dog” as well as sales.
We have a private email discussion forum that allows daily dialog discussing everything from new ways locations are getting business, to how to handle a difficult client. This group is busy all day, everyday and is an incredible resource for questions and answers from like-minded folks out there doing exactly what you are doing.
Each month we host teleconferences with an agenda announced via e-mail prior to the call. There is a playback available and notes to follow each call.
CEO Fred Hassen will visit your operation anytime you request for on-site consulting with no fee (only his travel expenses would be your obligation). He is always available via phone and e-mail to answer your questions.
Sit Means Sit Corporate staff, are also available via phone and e-mail, too.
There is an “owners” section at sitmeanssit.com, too, with information that may prove helpful for your operation, too. This section includes our SMS Franchise Manual, that is continually expanding in content, detail and proven information.
