How Sandler supports you throughout the process:
At Sandler, we teach ongoing support. We have to be authentic so we offer our franchisees the very best ongoing support and training
Sandler has a tried and tested onboarding process for new franchisees. New franchisees have an initial one-week training in Baltimore, which is then followed by intensive training at Sandler’s head office in Oxfordshire.
The new franchisee gets help setting up their own web site, a year’s subscription to an email tool complete with appropriate content for formulating marketing campaigns and newsletters. They also have an initial structured plan to help them get off to a flying start. Franchisees are taught to use our own Sandler processes and material to build their own profitable business. By doing this, you not only sound authentic to your clients – you are authentic.
The goal with new franchisees, which has been achieved 100% in the last two years, is for them to be invoicing clients within 90 days of completing initial training in the US.
One of the key ways we achieve this is by offering all new franchisees an opportunity to be mentored by one of our most successful franchisees: Lisette Howlett. With fifteen years of global change leadership and business development experience, she has fantastic insight into how to build your Sandler franchise.
By working with Lisette, you can develop your own personalised development plan, with a holistic approach to help identify opportunities to expedite growth.
As a new franchisee, you will get weekly support throughout your first year to help you get your business moving as quickly as possible. You can join other new members of the network, and as a peer group help support each other. Experienced members also join to offer updates and talk through new initiatives,
In addition to weekly calls and workshops, there are up to six regular “Train the Trainer” national and international conferences. These allow the whole Sandler network to share and learn best practice. All of this is captured for franchisees to use with a host of supporting materials – including an online platform, in which Sandler has invested a seven-figure sum, to make sure it is leading edge both now and in the future.
A key advantage of joining Sandler is the market-leading support you’ll receive in building your online presence. Support includes:
- Assistance building a fully customisable website
- A 90-day marketing plan
- Guidance on social marketing, local PR and LinkedIn development
- Access to marketing collateral
- Opportunity to join a bi-weekly marketing training network call
Our franchise system has been recognised with prestigious awards
Sandler consistently receives recognition as a leading franchise, top-rated training company, and highly effective training solution globally.
Franchising offers you the chance to own your own business, whilst still being part of a larger organisation and network.
At Sandler – we give you the tools, the material and the training to go out and create your own Sandler Training practice. It is up to you what that practice looks like. Whether you wish to focus on certain industries or Sandler products or want a mix of everything, you have the flexibility and support to create your own successful company.
One of the key questions you should be asking as a prospective franchisee, is how you can grow and scale your business? What is the model, and who would benefit from your service?
With Sandler, the sky is the limit. You will be given a protected territory, so you won’t ever have to compete with a fellow franchisee – in fact, our franchisees are renowned for recommending and sharing opportunities.
Because Sandler is a long-term training partner, you will have long-term contracts. Our system isn’t restricted to particular sectors, so you have a completely open goal in terms of the types or size of organisations you can work with. Plus, because we are trusted to help drive growth, the franchise is very recession-proof – in fact, our service becomes even more business-critical in times of uncertainty.
But don’t forget – it’s your franchise. Your business. Whether you want to work alone and enjoy a lifestyle business, or scale it up and recruit a team, it’s up to you.
This global footprint allows my clients to be assured of consistency of material and delivery for their sales and management teams worldwide. This would be an impossible task for a single consultant who does not enjoy this brand backing and support.
If you have thought about working for yourself but feel starting from scratch is overwhelming, joining our network might be a good fit for you
With Sandler, I have created my own World-ClassBusiness
I came from a corporate background and wanted to be able to build a business that had the same ‘world-class’ feel. By becoming a Sandler franchisee I have been able to scale my business and partner with the Sandler Corporate department to assist in delivering worldwide multi-language projects.
If you are excited by starting your own company and want to build your own business, it could be worth getting in touch!
Sandler gave me the freedom and autonomy to have my own business
The biggest thing Sandler has given me is a level of freedom that could never be obtained as an employee – freedom to run my business how I want and freedom to earn what I want as there is an unlimited earning potential that comes with a Sandler Franchise.
I joined Sandler because I wanted to build a business that was personally very satisfying for myself and one I felt I could grow into a successful business. It is not an exaggeration to say Sandler genuinely transforms lives.
Owning a Sandler Franchise has helped me achieve more flexibility and personal achievement and has enabled me to have both the professional and personal life that I desire. By working with my clients on Sandler’s core material, I am able to see the tangible results and growth I have on businesses.
When I first started out in Sandler it was in the middle of the 2007 recession. Owning a Sandler franchise is not only a recession proof business but a business that can thrive during a recession.
Sandler has given me a recession-proof business as our services are always required. Our system isn’t restricted to particular sectors, so you have complete freedom whether you want to work alone and enjoy a lifestyle business, or scale it up and recruit a team, it’s up to you.
It is a challenging business that gives me the opportunity to grow and educate myself in areas that wouldn’t have necessarily done so if I had stayed in the corporate world.
If you want a work-life balance Sandler works rather well
Having a job can make your work-life balance hard to perfect – but running your own business allows you to control that. I have used my Sandler business to create the perfect work-life balance with the flexibility to choose when and whom I work with. I am happy that my clients are growing their businesses due to the work I put in and the material and innovative tools Sandler offers.
Sandler has helped me design a life on how I want to live my life using the skills that I’ve got to sell and deliver world class effectiveness programmes
Running a Sandler business is really about building freedom and then being able to build a business to have a significant impact on people’s goals and their lives. At the same time focussing on yourself and fulfilling your own personal goals.
