Maid2Clean® Launches 5-Phase Training Plan
May 28, 2010
Maid2Clean® continues to be a mover and shaker in the market place by setting the pace in franchise training. Not content with following the norms in franchising, they have developed and launched a 5-phase training program to enable their franchisees to maximise the return on their investments?
What does Maid2Clean®’s 5-phase training comprise of?
1. Read & complete the pre-launch To-Dos in the 450 page Maid2Clean® operations manual.
“This enables the franchisee to read about the business in advance of the training. Once a franchisee has read the operations manual the majority of the rest of the training is done by affirmation, which is one of the most powerful forms of long term memory training” confirmed Mike Hanrahan MD.
2. Process Training at Head Office
The second phase of the training builds on the knowledge gained from phase 1, including role-play situations and Q&A type scenarios.
The main headings from this training include.

Maid2Clean® publishes training sessions several months in advance and all franchisees are invited to attend any or every session. “Others in the industry simply offer franchisees one-off classroom based training days. At Maid2Clean we do things differently and offer our franchisees unlimited training and ongoing support. Training and development is first and foremost on our agenda as we strive to remain innovative, grow our businesses and stay ahead of the competition” commented Mike Hanrahan.
In addtion to the 5-phase training programme, Maid2Clean® organises an annual training conference for all franchisees.
Something else that keeps Maid2Clean® as the company that others follow relates to the attitude of Maid2Clean® franchisees. Mike Hanrahan stated “Our franchisees have taken it upon themselves each quarter, to host a business improvement day in different places in the UK specifically designed to share best practice ideas with other franchisees, such is the strength and enthusiasm for the business within of the franchise. I don’t know of another franchse where this type of actvity takes place on such a wide scale.”
