Training 

The franchisor offers an extensive training program that combines both classroom and hands-on instruction. This training covers the technical operations of the franchise, fundamental business procedures, essential sales and marketing techniques, and other relevant topics as determined by the franchisor. The goal of this program is to thoroughly educate and familiarize franchisees with all aspects of running the business.

Attendance Participation in the Initial Training Program is mandatory for two management representatives from each franchisee. This ensures that key personnel are fully prepared to effectively manage the franchise. The program includes a "Four Week Pre-Training Program" followed by a "Twelve Week Post-Training/Mentor Program" to reinforce and build upon the initial training.

Ongoing Support Beyond the initial training, the franchisor provides ongoing support, which may include additional training courses, seminars, conferences, and other educational programs as needed. These sessions may include staff training courses, for which the franchisor may charge a reasonable fee. Franchisees are responsible for covering their travel, lodging, and meal expenses during these training events.

On-site Assistance The franchisor also offers on-site assistance upon request, subject to the availability of their personnel. This service is provided at the franchisor’s current training fee plus expenses and is designed to offer additional support directly at the franchisee’s location.

Territory Protection

The franchisor provides territory protection to franchisees, with territories typically delineated by United States Postal Service ZIP Codes. Each franchisee's territory initially includes approximately 41,000 households. The franchise agreement ensures that the franchisor will not establish another franchised business within this protected territory that sells and installs products using the franchisor's system and trademarks.

However, franchisees should be aware that this protection does not completely prevent another franchisee from potentially breaching their agreement and conducting business within their territory.

Additionally, franchisees are permitted to operate within unassigned territories, referred to as "Gray Areas," which are adjacent to their designated territory. Operations in these Gray Areas are subject to specific conditions, such as the possibility of the territory being sold to another franchisee or the commencement of company-owned operations within these areas.
