Training: Pest Hunters-Mosquito Hunters Training is over 5 days in Chicago, where we will guide you step-by-step, teaching you how to operate your business during your pre-opening training in vital areas, including:
Holiday Lighting Training is over 3 days in Chicago in August of each year
Other Info: "What do you do during the winter?" is a very common question we hear. In the warmer states, mosquito season can sometimes run 11-12 months, but our business model was made in a colder climate (Chicago) where mosquito season lasts 4-5 months. With the mosquito season, the perimater pest servcing season, now combined with holiday lighting services season, our model allows for predictable annual revenues and much better opportunities for customer and employee retention.
Start the day by meeting with Technicians and stocking their vehicle inventory with mosquito control products, paperwork, and other supplies. From there, on a typical day, the franchisee will spend the rest of the workday scheduling treatments using our software, responding to phone calls and emails from existing clients, and interacting with Pest Hunters-Mosquito Hunters' turnkey sales team, which fields inbound calls from prospective clients and closes sales over the phone, allowing for a consistent client experience and freeing up our franchisees to focus on business operations, which is integral to securing a repeat client base.
As the day is wrapping up, a franchisee might attend a local networking event (Chamber of Commerce, BNI, etc.) where he/she will have the opportunity to engage with the local community and build more business with Pest Hunters-Mosquito Hunters.
