Experience | Web design experience would be helpful, but is not necessary. Technically, you must feel confident with the computer and be the type of person who can pick up new software quickly and easily. Excellent interpersonal skills are very important. We can teach the right people to successfully operate their franchise. We will only select people who are truly teachable, positive, and hungry for knowledge and success. | - |

Training & Support |
||
Training | Each franchisee or franchisee team will receive approximately two weeks of training in person at the PD-go! headquarters in Vero Beach Florida. They will be trained on how to run a successful business, and will do a reasonable amount of hands-on work on actual client website projects and support issues. | Bloomtools HQ provides a comprehensive initial training program for all our franchisees followed by regular workshops, seminars, online training sessions and business coaching that cover the full spectrum, including: * Sales and lead generation * Customer Relationships Management * Industry knowledge and standards * Business management * Products and services |
Support | - | As a Bloomtools franchisee, you are supported by a dedicated team at HQ and several online help resources that can be accessed by you and your clients 24x7. * A Franchisee Support Manager for all your business, sales and marketing needs * Team of support technicians to help you manage your clients * Online toolbox to log and monitor support requirements and communications with HQ * Online knowledgebase of products and strategies |
Marketing | - | Bloomtools HQ will conduct national marketing for the brand around Australia. This marketing will include a website, print and online advertising, search engine marketing, events, public relations and promotions. In addition to this, individual franchisees will want to carry out additional marketing and lead generation strategies themselves, such as alliances, seminars and magazine/newspaper editorial in their local areas. Bloomtools provides advertising, public relations and marketing templates for franchisees to use and the HQ marketing team works with all the franchisees on their individual marketing requirements. |
Operations | This is a full-time business, therefore, a 40 hour work week is expected. The business works ideally with a team of two, but can be run by yourself. We generally recommend working 9-5 Monday thru Friday, so that you can be available to your client base during their normal working hours. However, your hours & vacation days are pretty flexible. Really your business can be run from anywhere with a phone & a computer. | - |
