Training 

101 Mobility provides a comprehensive training program designed to equip franchisees with the skills and knowledge needed to successfully operate their businesses. The training begins with an intensive 10-day initial program held at their corporate office in Wilmington, North Carolina.

This initial training covers various aspects of the business, including operations management, sales and marketing strategies, and ordering and inventory procedures.

Additionally, franchisees receive thorough equipment and installation training, earning certifications from manufacturers to ensure they are well-prepared to service their products effectively. Pre-opening support is also provided, guiding franchisees through site location, design, layout, and construction processes.

This phase includes assistance in developing and managing relationships with key suppliers, which is crucial for the seamless operation of the franchise. Once the business is up and running, 101 Mobility continues to offer ongoing support, including local marketing guidance, staff development, and skill enhancement programs.

Territory Protection

101 Mobility offers exclusive territory protection to its franchisees. This protection ensures that each franchise owner has a designated geographical area where no other 101 Mobility franchises can operate, reducing internal competition and allowing the franchisee to build a solid customer base within their territory. 

This approach provides franchisees with a significant advantage, enabling them to focus on growing their business without worrying about overlapping services from other franchisees in the same brand.
