The Franchise Business Opportunity!
The service industry is growing at an exceptional rate due to the number of families working multiple jobs, which means very little time is left to attend to the upkeep of their home. In addition, the growing awareness of how one's health is impacted by one's living environment, specialized cleaning has become a high priority. Practically anyone who has upholstery, carpet, tile, stone, grout, pets, mattresses, leather, or oriental rugs could use one or more of USClean's services.
A Day in the Life of a Franchisee!
USClean provides a bunch of attractive products and services to both the customer and franchisee. Lets talk about it from the customer's perspective. Our cleaning system encompasses a wide variety of services. We clean carpet, upholstery, oriental rugs, mattresses, leather, tile, grout, and stone. We are able to remove pet odor from any of these items as well as apply protective coatings to help increase their longevity. Our neutral spot cleaner is a very popular item to help with in-between cleanings. We also sell oriental rug pad and can do allergen control. Our free carpet consultation service allows us to educate our customers on the buying process when they are looking for new carpet. Often times, a carpet dealer will pay us a significant referral fee for handing one of our customers over to them. Naturally, our services help improve the indoor air quality while we use safer products for people, pets, and the planet. Our cleaning system has a quick drying time, which is not an inconvenience for the customer. Our level of education, attention to detail, and professionalism leave a long lasting and trusted relationship. To top it off, our cleaning system gives immediate results.
Our franchisees get the added benefit of our call center. It is important that our franchisees focus on their business, not answering phone calls, scheduling appointments, and answering difficult questions, so we take that burden off their shoulders and carry it for them. Obviously we already have templates for news letters, email marketing lists, legal contracts and documents, advertisement and promotional materials, sales proposals, compensation for technicians and sales reps, internet advertising campaigns, website, and so on and so forth.
We've designed our system to be as simple as someone wants to be. If an individual wants do all the work themselves, they can, or they can hire it all out. It's really up to them. How big do they want to be? Again, it's entirely up to the individual and we are right there, helping our franchisee reach their goals. This is a team effort, and the more successful our franchisees have, the more successful we have and vise versa.
A typical day would entail checking the schedule on the internet and making sure the cleanings get done for the day. Obviously there other business responsibilities that tie into the work week like some accounting, advertising, planning, normal business stuff. These responsibilities can typically take a few hours a week. May be longer, depending on the individual. We always recommend reviewing the technical side of things by reading the manuals, calling other franchisees, or the home office.
Key Selling Points
USClean is very different from the typical stereotype of a carpet cleaner. We have broken the mold and set a new and higher standard for the industry. Our oxygenated cleaning solution is efficient and cost effective. Not to mention the cleaning results are superb! Our solution is safer for people, pets, and the planet. The items we clean usually dry between 30 minutes to 2 hours. Our cleaning process stops stains from re-appearing and leaves the carpet and fabric soft to the hand. No more sticky residues that attract soil.
The technicians we send out are trained and certified through a non profit organization called the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration certification program, or IICRC. Our technicians are very knowledgeable and treat customers with respect. This makes people feel comfortable with the services we provide.
We are one of the only oxygenated carpet cleaning franchises that require our franchisees to become an IICRC certified firm in all the services they provide. This helps keep everyone honest and accountable from the franchisor to the franchisee.
We are one of the only textile cleaning franchises that offers a referral rewards program for our franchisees. This allows them to build a passive secondary revenue stream that is on going as long as they and their referred franchisees are involved with USClean. We do this to encourage a healthy culture that keeps everyone honest and accountable with one another.
There are many other wonderful things we do for our franchisees and customers and those things will be reveled when you join our team.
Cleaning Services
We offer a wide variety of services. We are always looking for new services to add. Our goal is to combine these services into one franchise, to allow unlimited growth.
Currently we provide the cleaning of carpet, upholstery, leather, oriental rugs, mattresses, hard wood, tile, stone, grout, as well as pet-odor treatments and reapplication of carpet protectant.
Top services we would like to add in the near future:
You get multiple franchises in one. Many franchises require you to pay an additional franchise fee to add a service and may also charge you an additional royalty fee. We will allow for you to add these services, if and when they come available, for the cost of equipment and product.
Support & Training
We offer ongoing support to help your business grow and become more profitable. As a new franchisee, you will automatically be part of our "Mentor Program." You will be assigned a mentor to help your business grow. They will be side by side with, giving you advice and direction.
Your assigned mentor will currently be a franchisee, someone who has demonstrated a profitable franchise. They have been in the trenches and have had many of the same questions, fears, and doubts you will probably have or go through. They encourage, motivate, and mentor you in the beginning stages of your business. After successful completion of the Mentor Program and if your business becomes very profitable, you will have the opportunity to become a mentor and share your experience and wisdom with new franchisees!
