Support
Jim’s Mowing has several levels of support ranging from your franchisor, to local area franchisee networking, to closed Regional Facebook groups and onto National Office and even Jim himself.
Unless you were raised in the specific business you are trying to start, you will need special training. Jim’s Mowing National Office will train you in everything from the technology involved, to the use of equipment, to customer service and taking money. Ongoing franchisor support is always available as well as. Franchisors want you to be successful and they make themselves available every step of the way. After all, they want to keep selling franchises and high success ratios keep potential franchisees coming.
Pay For Work Guarantee
The Jim’s Group knows how hard it can be to make the decision to go into business for yourself. BUT we also know that our business works if you follow the system and are committed to looking after your customers and delivering a first-class service every time.
And so, we stand behind this by guaranteeing that every new franchisee, buying a new franchise, will receive a minimum value of work every week.
The actual amount of the guarantee will be confirmed by your franchisor.
Unique to the Jim’s system, a weekly work guarantee exists to make sure that starting a business does not mean financial stress.
In truth, Jim’s Mowing rarely pays out work guarantee since it is extremely uncommon for franchisees to need it, even in their first month; however, it means that you can feel secure that your family income won’t be affected by your move to owning a business.
It also provides a measure of security to banks and other financial institutions who might be looking at financing your franchise for you.
Fixed Monthly Franchise Fees
All franchise systems charge a regular fee in return for their support, as you will no doubt know if you are investigating your business options. These generally cover all work that the franchisor does for you, including advertising, training, meetings, and advice and support.
Your fees also cover a full-time dedicated Jim’s Group Call Centre which is located at our National Head Office in Mooroolbark, Victoria which answers your customer calls professionally and sends the leads by SMS to your mobile phone.
It’s very similar to having your own personal assistant handling your calls. The reason that the Jim’s system has grown so fast is that the fees system ensures that more money stays with franchisees.
We believe that franchise fees should be kept as low as possible to ensure that more money stays in your pocket.Quite simply we would rather have lots of franchisees making great money than a few paying us exorbitant fees.
Once you’re up and running you will only pay a monthly franchise fee, less discount for on-time payment. This fee covers all administration and customer calls.
Jim’s Mowing does not charge you a percentage of your income and does not make you pay for work you do on an ongoing basis.
You only pay for the work you receive, when you want it and where you want it.
For each new lead sent to you a low fixed lead fee will apply, regardless of the type of job. For example, it may be lawn mowing for a private home or body corporate block of 50 units. The fee remains the same.
You only pay for each job once, even if you end up looking after that customer for years.
Note that we give you a 15% discount on the leads that you have taken within a month to allow for clients that you are unable to service or quote.
