Snelling Staffing Services Makes Sure It Chooses the Right Franchisees

Written on May 20th, 2008 by Joseph in Franchise News.

For a franchise system to succeed, a franchisor has to be very careful in selecting the people who wish to buy a franchise from it. Snelling Staffing Services, one of the top franchises from the employment category of franchise business, knows that and is very choosy in selecting its franchisees. So, if you apply for the franchise business from Snelling, don’t assume that you will be automatically selected just because you can afford it! The company will look into various aspects before awarding you the honor of starting a franchise with it. Below are the steps that Snelling takes in selecting a suitable candidate:

• After you make the first call, the company will discuss with you what is the mission and vision of the company. The representatives of the company will also ask you about your background and the geographical locations that you are interested in. Since it’s an in-demand franchise business, all locations may not be available.
• If you like the concept and fit the requirement, then you need to fill out the Candidate Profile Form detailing your experience, financial capability, expectations and more. This serves as a reference form that the franchise department goes through for judging your application.
•If you have the qualities Snelling is looking for in its franchisees, the UFOC or FDD (as the new franchise disclosure document is known as) will be given to you to study the franchise offer that the company is giving. It will have everything about the company; from the people in charge to the litigation history of the company.
• You are supposed to go through the FDD meticulously, so that when Snelling places the Discovery Conference Call, you have questions to ask it. The company will judge from the questions you ask; as it will make the franchisor aware how much interest you have in the company. The franchisor is only going to take genuine candidates who are interested in a long-term commitment.
• Snelling, being one of the top franchises in its field, will furnish you with names and locations of all its franchisees, so that you can talk to them. This is a very important part of the due diligence process and every franchisee interested in starting a franchise must go through it sincerely for his/her and the franchisor’s sake.
• The next is the Discovery Day where interested and selected candidates are asked to visit the Dallas Support Center of Snelling to check out how the system works. Here, the franchisees themselves can watch how the locations are run and how business transaction takes place. This is the last and final chapter in the franchise selection process. If the candidate is impressed with the system and vice versa, then he or she can meet the representatives and sign the franchise agreement.
