P3 Cost Analysts provides a thorough training program to help its franchisees successfully launch and operate their businesses. The franchisor ensures that franchisees are fully prepared by offering structured and ongoing educational support. Here’s how the training is organized:
Initial Training Program Franchisees, their operating principals, and key partners must attend and complete the Initial Training Program before opening the franchised business. The program spans three weeks and includes virtual live and recorded sessions covering topics such as targeting prospective clients, the sales process, understanding the franchise model, data collection, software usage, marketing, reporting requirements, and customer service.
Continuing Education and Ongoing Training Franchisees are required to participate in up to five days of ongoing training and meetings annually. These may occur at designated physical locations or through virtual methods such as webinars and Skype, ensuring franchisees stay updated on new developments and operational strategies.
Special and Periodic Additional Training The franchisor may mandate additional special programs or training sessions as needed throughout the year. Franchisees are responsible for all expenses incurred for these training sessions, which focus on enhancing operational performance and ensuring compliance with evolving system standards.
Territory Protection
P3 Cost Analysts does not offer franchisees an exclusive territory. Instead, each franchisee is assigned a "Geographic District," typically composed of around 200,000 people.
Franchisees are allowed to market and solicit customers both inside and outside of their designated Geographic District, but their direct marketing efforts can be restricted if they interfere with other franchisees.
Although franchisees receive a defined area, P3 Cost Analysts reserves the right to engage in marketing and sales activities that may overlap across districts. The franchisor can also use alternative channels like the Internet or other distribution methods to sell services similar to those offered by franchisees.
