Support Training

Financial Assistance Provided: Yes
Specify: Self Esteem Brands currently utilizes third-party lending partners to educate and assist franchisees when determining the best funding option for their situation.

Site Selection Assistance: Yes
Specify: Our in-house real estate team utilizes best-in-class analytics tools and local broker partners to identify the best sites in partnership with the franchisee. Not only does this working team analyze where our target consumer lives, works, and shops, but also analyzes sites that possess the appropriate access, parking, signage, and more. Our team engages in detailed market discussions and key opportunities, coordinates and schedules potential site tours, and helps source off-market deals. This team helps assess, approve, and negotiate real estate deals.

Lease Negotiation Assistance: Yes
Specify: Upon the franchisee reviewing the site packages, our in-house real estate team assists with letter of intent negotiations. The team has experience reviewing hundreds – if not thousands – of sites and are invaluable in advising franchisees on their real estate.

Recruiting Assistance: Yes
Specify: Franchisees partner with their Franchise Business Coach (FBC) to build their recruiting, hiring, and staffing strategy. The FBC will guide the franchise on where and how to recruit, best practices for hiring, and build a staffing plan to meet the needs of the business. A staffing advantage at The Bar Method is that our classes are taught by world-class instructors who are trained in-house. Ultimately, staff will join The Bar Method with built-in training and will stay longer than a typical instructor.

Cooperative Advertising: No

Training:
The Bar Method’s new franchisee training program educates owners on everything they need to know to successfully run a franchise, everything from real estate to operations, construction, finance, from human resources to sales and marketing.

While franchisees are not required to be instructors, they may choose to become an instructor, or maybe they are already certified. Our Franchise Agreement includes three (3) Teacher Training enrollments. Our teacher training consists of 4 parts: pre-training, classroom hours, post training, and certification, and is structured with virtual, self-study, and in person experiences. After teachers are trained, they become part of our continued education program, what we call CEC. This means there will be lots of opportunities for teachers to continue to grow, learn and evolve well past their initial Bar Method certification. Our Teacher Training program is mandatory for all Bar Method instructors.
We also provide training for a franchisee’s teaching staff. We will assess your training needs and discuss teacher recruitment, interview/audition strategies, and more to ensure you open with a strategic, staffed class schedule.

Our Learning Management System helps franchisees and their staff continuously grow – virtually, saving on travel expenses.

Special instructions/notes: While a digital class offering will never replace the connection of an in-studio experience, our Bar Online virtual classes provide an opportunity for your clients to experience The Bar Method and our five class format, in the even that they are not located near a brick and mortar studio.
