5 Qualities of a Successful Image360 Center Owner
Our Image360 Center owners come from a wide range of backgrounds, yet they all share common qualities that contribute to their success. Here are the five key traits we look for:
RightStart
Program
RightStart is a three-year onboarding process for new Franchise Members that integrates Business Development, Marketing, and Operations to ensure success and profitability. This program uses a review-refine-repeat approach to help new Franchise Members achieve success quickly through tested methods, clear expectations, and consistent support.
Image360 Performance Groups
Groups of five to seven Franchise Members meet twice yearly to discuss all areas of their business. These groups focus on items like best sales practices, franchise marketing support, or new industry trends. Facilitated by one of our staff members, these groups act as a board of directors for each other, driving business improvement. Many Franchise Members develop close friendships within their Performance Groups, expanding their support network across the country.
Sales Planning and Leadership
Building a successful sales culture begins with strong leadership and vision. Our Sales Support Team works closely with Image360 Franchise Members to help them establish sales goals in alignment with company objectives, provide measurements and accountability towards achieving sales results, and define ways to engage all team members in the Center’s sales efforts.
Success Story
Robert Blackwell, who owns an Image360 Center in Beaumont, TX, saw his business thrive after converting his independent sign shop into an Image360 franchise.
“I was spending all of my time solving problems rather than going out promoting and growing the business,” he says. “So, in 2018 I made the transition. Now I’m counting on Image360 with its home-office support to help me address any issues. The assistance of the franchise network allows me to get out of the building, meet with prospects and customers, and focus on growth.”
By leveraging our comprehensive franchise training and ongoing support, you’ll be well-prepared to build a successful Image360 business.
