Selection Process
The selection of new Peak Centre owners is a most important decision involving an extensive interview/approval process. Not everyone who applies for a franchise meets the criteria to be a Peak Centre franchisee. We strive to ensure that each owner possesses the necessary entrepreneurial drive, management skills, financial means and dedication which is required in today's competitive market.We are proud of our dedicated franchisees, who exemplify and execute the Peak Centre principles and standards of operation on a daily basis. We carefully select hands-on owner/operators, who will devote their efforts on a full-time, long term basis to operating their Centre.
We do not grant area/regional development rights. We believe in building our system centre owner by centre owner and centre by centre. We grant additional centres to only those franchisees whose performance demonstrates success in managing and operating their existing centre.
This business is a most demanding one. It requires and responds to personal attention. It is most important that you personally be involved with all facets of the business, and that you reside within a 30 mile radius of the Peak Centre. You must be able to operate your Centre in accordance with Peak Centre standards of service, quality and cleanliness. You must set the example for your employees to follow. These demands require not only a firm personal commitment to the business, but at least initially, many, many long hours. The new franchisee should provide a substantial amount of personal manual labor, especially during the first year of operation. You should be prepared and have the ability, if necessary, to do any and all tasks for your Centre, including testing, if needed. In addition to testing skills, you must also understand and be able to perform all of the sales and maintenance functions required to ensure successful Peak Centre operations.
These demands on you personally can be minimized by your ability to attract, motivate and retain capable testing and sales personnel. We provide you with the basic procedures and guidelines to use in recruiting, training, retaining and motivating your personnel. Instruction in their use is given to you during the initial training program and by your District Manager once you are in your Centre. However, we do not operate your business for you. We will train you and advise you, but the responsibility for developing a sound personnel program and employee relations is yours.
