UNLOCKING POTENTIAL: WHY PROPER TRAINING IS ESSENTIAL FOR FRANCHISE SUCCESS
Throughout our careers, we all encounter learning experiences that give us new skills and abilities. As we build these skills, we become empowered enough to bestow them upon future generations. This continuous cycle of growth and learning is the driving force behind our ever-evolving world. Within the realm of franchising, this cycle reveals itself through the training of franchisees, equipping them with a comprehensive understanding to steer their business towards success, and in due, help hand over the reins to a new wave of aspiring entrepreneurs. For this cycle to operate effectively, franchises must have an established and refined business model. After years of experience, franchisors gain a complete understanding of their business and can develop a training program that best summarizes their success.
Franchise training programs look different for every business and are influenced by a number of factors such as budget, industry, and time. Nonetheless, a common trait amongst most programs is that you receive training that encompasses the basics of management, finance, operations, and recruitment of employees. This is super important for the franchisee, but also the franchisor as it is in their best interest to equip their new owners with the skills to effectively represent the business and keep the company profitable. In the youth sports industry, training plays a crucial role, extending its vital influence on staff, coaches, and managers alike. By enhancing the quality of instruction and guidance provided to employees, a positive and supportive environment for athletes is created. This exemplifies the undeniable significance of investing in comprehensive staff training to foster growth and development in youth sports communities.
WHAT ABOUT GYM SKILLS TRAINING?
At the young age of 19, Kenny Crump embarked on his entrepreneurial journey by opening a mobile gym business. Devoid of any prior business experience, Kenny started a relentless pursuit of knowledge, gradually building up his skills to grow the business. After three years of unwavering pursuit, Gym Skills unveiled its first physical location in 2008. Nearly 10 years later, Kenny guided Lisa Wu in the opening of Gym Skills Cincinnati. Inspired by the success achieved with Gym Skills Cincinnati, the decision to transition into a franchising company was made in 2020. Propelled by years of fine tuning and challenges such as Covid-19, Gym Skills drew from all 18 years of experience to create an exceptional training program that embodies our resolute commitment to the success and growth of our community.
