Brilliant Massage & Skin provides a structured training program designed to prepare franchisees and their managers for successful operations. The training is comprehensive and includes both pre-opening and post-opening components. Here are the key training programs offered:
Initial Training for Franchisees Brilliant Franchise requires the Principal Executive and one general manager to complete the pre-opening training program. This training is conducted at either the franchisor’s headquarters or a designated Brilliant Massage & Skin location and must be completed at least four weeks before opening. While there is no fee for the training itself, franchisees are responsible for all travel and lodging expenses.
Training Delivery Method Training is delivered through a combination of self-directed learning, video tutorials, checklists, shadowing, and instructional materials provided by the franchisor. Classes may be led by the franchisor’s corporate staff or designated experienced trainers, typically with a minimum of one year of relevant experience. A passing score on a final test is required to complete the training successfully.
On-Site Opening Support Upon opening, Brilliant Franchise sends a representative to the franchisee’s location to provide one week of on-site support and operational guidance. This hands-on assistance helps reinforce training principles and ensures proper implementation of system standards.
Territory Protection
Brilliant Massage & Skin grants its franchisees an exclusive territory as outlined in the franchise agreement. Within this territory, the franchisor agrees not to establish or allow the operation of other company-owned or franchised outlets offering the same or similar services under the Brilliant Massage & Skin trademarks.
The territory typically covers a population of 50,000 to 100,000 people and is defined by geographic boundaries such as radii, county lines, or trade areas. This territorial protection remains in place regardless of the franchisee's sales volume or market penetration and cannot be modified arbitrarily by the franchisor.
However, the franchisor reserves the right to market and make sales within the territory through other channels like the internet, catalogs, or telemarketing without compensating the franchisee. Franchisees are also restricted from soliciting or conducting business outside their assigned territory without permission.
