Training:
Training begins immediately with webinars and phone calls with coaches in week one. This is followed by our SmartMarket Solutions YOUniversity™ Two-Day Intensive Training. Here new operators learn everything needed to launch, run and grow their healthy business. This is no-nonsense, practical hands-on training on machines, products, locations, software, business operations, marketing and much more.
After SmartMarket Solutions YOUniversity training, support continues including unlimited coaching sessions and 24/7 access to an online support site.
Getting machines into great locations is at the core of the training and support.
All training and support are included in the original investment.
People who are more interested in being an entrepreneur and not just a franchisee.
People who are passionate about starting and running THEIR own business. Since there are no franchisor requirements and operators are truly building THEIR business, other factors are less important.
This is not for the person that needs a manual with every detail of every aspect mapped out for them. Some people do the business because they are motivated by providing healthy choices and fighting obesity, while others are most interested in operational flexibility and a passive revenue-type business. Many operators are fitness-oriented, but not the majority of operators. Many do this as a family business, but not the majority of operators.
The machines require little maintenance and have no electric-powered mechanism for operation (shelves have spring-loaded inventory columns that are very easy to load). There is almost no machine maintenance to speak of - just wipe down the cooler and load each product, and that's it. Very appealing to people who need to or want to start part-time. The minimum starting point is a 10-machine business, with a common trend of locations taking more than one machine, as operators often have one machine focusing on just drinks, coupled with a machine containing food options.
