Training

The Corporate Connections franchise offers a detailed training structure to ensure franchisees and their teams are fully prepared. Here’s an outline of the training provided by the franchisor:

1. Initial Training Program: This multi-day program must be completed within three months of signing the agreement and covers Executive Director Onboarding, Chapter Support Training, and Chapter Launch Training. It is mandatory for the franchisee, Key Person, or Managing/Chapter Directors and is conducted at a location designated by Corporate Connections.
2. Managing Director & Chapter Director Training: All Chapter Directors must attend and complete this specialized training before assuming their roles. The program is led by approved Corporate Connections Leaders and Trainers and can be conducted at the franchisor’s headquarters or another designated facility.
3. Executive Director Training: Executive Directors must successfully complete the Initial Training Program before opening a Chapter and must repeat it at least every five years to maintain compliance.
4. Periodic and Refresher Training: The franchisor may require franchisees and their personnel to attend additional seminars, refresher courses, and the Global Conference annually. The Franchise Leadership Summit must also be attended at least once every two years.

Territory Protection

The Corporate Connections franchise provides franchisees with a defined Region, which is the geographic area where they are authorized to operate their business. However, the franchise agreement clearly states that franchisees do not receive an exclusive territory.

While they have the right to operate within their Region, they may face competition from other Corporate Connections franchisees, company-owned outlets, or other channels of distribution.

The franchisor reserves the right to own, operate, or license additional franchises outside the granted Region, and there are no implied territorial protections beyond what is expressly granted.
