Although your work will be rewarding both financially and personally, don’t think of a Slimproved franchise as a licence to print money. The rewards are certainly there, but they’re for the earning, not the taking. And if you’re looking for an investment where you can sit back and not be involved, this isn’t for you. We’re not trying to put you off, we just want you to be aware of some of the realities before you go further. A Slimproved franchise is a fantastic opportunity for anyone that wishes to have their own business. It will take work however to build it. The difference is we’ll be with you every step of the way in supporting you in making your business a complete success. Your skills Like we said, a career as a Slimproved franchisee is not by any means for everyone. Equally, we don’t accept just anyone either. You’ll need to demonstrate some key skills and your passion to run your own Slimproved business. It should come as no surprise then that we look for the following in our franchisee candidates: High personal integrity High standards of people management and communication High levels of customer service Strong leadership qualities The personality to be an excellent ambassador for Slimproved Hands-on management Owning a Slimproved franchise means you running it. Your role will be multi-faceted; administering the treatments (if you wish), ordering supplies, organising your staff, taking bookings on-line and via the telephone, organising marketing campaigns, through to making critical decisions about your business. The one thing that you can be sure of however is not only the financial rewards, but the rewards of having your own business, the autonomy this brings whilst still being part of a larger team and brand, supporting you every step of the way as you grow your business. “I’d always wanted my own business, I was just sick of the 9 – 5 and working hard for someone else without the rewards. After researching the franchise market in detail, Slimproved just shone out to me. It was at a level of investment that I could afford and felt comfortable with. The franchise process was extremely smooth and quick which was great as I needed to start to generate income ASAP. My business is now generating really good returns and I’m earning 3 times what I was doing in my previous job – I’m now getting the rewards for my hard work!!” A. Hart - Birmingham Treatment Programmes Our treatment programmes are extremely affordable for our clients and Slimproved run special sales offers to help drive traffic and sales at different periods throughout the year. Our treatments start at 6 sessions, though most clients opt for a minimum of 12 treatments which is a full programme. And so our treatment programmes are fantastic value for money when compared to the cost of invasive liposuction which can cost several thousands. And of course traditional invasive liposuction is a medical procedure which carries risks of infection and will be subject to recovery time. Slimproved non-invasive liposuction is not a medical procedure and so there are no risks, no recovery or down-time for our customers. The Slimproved treatment programmes are exceptional value for money for our customers and totally safe whilst allowing our franchisees to make significant profit. The full pricing architecture and margins will be explained in detail at the meeting stage. Active in the community Slimproved actively support cancer research. In fact for each franchise Slimproved donate £100 to the Boot out Breast Cancer charity. We actively encourage our franchisee partners to support cancer research or other local charities that are perhaps close to your heart. It’s a great way to promote the Slimproved brand and engage with the local community, brings a lot of credibility to the brand, and of course it’s fantastic for us to support good causes. So you can see, it’s as much about earning respect within and outside your clinics as it is about earning money. The process Once our Franchise Director has reviewed your application, providing you meet the initial criterion and we have a franchise opportunity available in the area you are interested in, then you will be contacted by telephone in the first instance. We believe in having one-on-one conversations with potential partners rather than long e-mail conversations. Here you will be able to ask any questions you have about us and it gives us the opportunity to ask some questions about you. From this we will then invite you to meet with our Franchise Director at our showroom clinic, where you will be introduced to the Slimproved business in detail. At this point the business model and all the financials will be explained in detail. Collectively if we then both decide we are a great fit, we then go to the planning stage in starting your own Slimproved business. This is the exciting bit!! What next? Slimproved is a thriving, dynamic network of Ultrasonic non-invasive liposuction clinics, which provide a combination of treatments in assisting our clients, reduce body fat, tone and re-shape and most importantly gain renewed body confidence and wellbeing.
