5. Training & Support
Allegra believes that quality training and support is the foundation for building your business and is vital to your success as a franchisee. You will find our training and support system to be one of the most comprehensive in the industry.
Allegra provides franchisees with the following training, support and solutions:
Two full weeks of start-up training – one at the Allegra Network headquarters and one at your center’s location.
Ongoing, best-in-industry training programs in operations, technology, marketing and financial/business management, as well as specialized industry sales training – face-to-face and online – through Allegra University.
Cutting edge award-winning, high-performance, turnkey marketing support programs from tele-prospecting and lead generation, direct marketing to public relations and Web optimization proven to drive business your way.
Marketing Resource Center: Allegra Network headquarters-based professional service organization for members to rely upon for customer strategic planning and implementation of part or all of the customer marketing programs and projects you attract – advice, copywriting, graphic design, Web development and more.
If desired, we’ll help you aggressively grow your business with acquisitions of a competitor or a complementary service business. Our M&A professionals will assist you in locating independent businesses for sale and help you conduct the initial qualifying, financial analysis and valuation of the businesses. They will also provide you with the important guidance you need to conduct your due diligence, formulate a Letter of Intent, develop the Asset Purchase Agreement and finally merge the acquired assets into your existing center.
Our Acquisition program is the perfect territory development strategy because it allows significant growth in single-unit operations as compared to other franchises.
Leading-edge digital technologies to support a wide range of customer needs.
Help desk support with fast answers on equipment selection, computer systems, pricing and more from our best-in-class Technology Group.
Innovative Profit Mastery Program for ongoing financial modeling and performance improvement, including “peer based” performance group interactions.
Personal business consulting – you will work with a Regional Operations Director with extensive industry experience (many are ex-franchise members who have successfully built and sold their firms) on virtually all facets of the business.
Resale Program: When it’s time to transition away from your business, our Development Department identifies buyer candidates, qualifies them and guides you and the new owner through the steps to successfully sell your business.
What made me choose Allegra over other business opportunities was that I felt it was a good model. It fit my comfort level in running a business without a lot of cookie cutter structure. Each Allegra can be customized to the area that you’re in, the kind of business that you serve, and really to your own temperament.
