Each franchisee is awarded a protected geographic area selected to provide a truly viable business. A shuttercraft franchise owner’s role is to effectively manage the business day-to-day. This includes sales promotion and business development; quoting for new work; surveying and installing the product range; building relationships with clients to encourage repeat business; and growing the franchise, eventually recruiting and training new staff. Franchisees need an eye for detail and
a passion for excellent service. You must be a people person with good empathy towards clients as well as having the inherent potential to become a quality craftsman. Additional skills such as training, sales or marketing would also be an asset. Whilst franchisees will initially carry out the installation work themselves, it is possible to grow the business and employ an installer – shuttercraft have proven systems you can use to train your team.
