If you're considering franchise ownership but don't have experience in the garage door industry, you're not alone, and you're not disqualified. At Franchising, we know that great franchise owners come from many different professional backgrounds. That’s why we’ve built a franchise model that doesn’t require you to be a garage door expert before getting started.
Instead, we focus on what really matters: providing robust training, world-class support, and a system designed to help franchisees thrive, regardless of their prior industry experience.
We Don't Just Train You: We Empower You
From day one, you’ll receive comprehensive, multi-phase training that prepares you to lead with confidence. Backed by Premium Service Brands, Franchising delivers specialized resources tailored to the garage door industry and the franchise business model.
Our training and support programs are designed to meet you where you are, whether you're a seasoned business owner or new to the service industry. Here's what to expect:
Specialist-Guided Onboarding
Your journey begins with a detailed onboarding process. Over the course of one week, you’ll be guided through essential business functions like scheduling, lead generation, and bookkeeping software. This phase lays a strong foundation for the systems you’ll use to run your business.
Interactive Virtual Learning
Next, you’ll dive into two weeks of immersive online learning. These interactive sessions cover everything from our marketing strategies and pricing models to technical knowledge specific to the garage door sector. You’ll also learn how to use integrated business management tools that streamline operations.
In-Person, Scenario-Based Training at HQ
You’ll then travel to our headquarters in Charlottesville, VA, for a week of hands-on, scenario-based training. Think role-playing sales calls, mock interviews, and workshops on building and managing your team. This experience is designed to sharpen your leadership skills while reinforcing key operational strategies.
Field Training in Your Local Market
Finally, we bring the support to you. An experienced coach will visit your location to help set up operations, fine-tune procedures, and ensure your team is ready to serve customers with professionalism and efficiency from day one.
What You Need to Succeed
You don’t need garage door experience to succeed, but the best franchisees share a few key traits: strong leadership skills to guide their team, a customer-first mindset for delivering exceptional service, and the drive and discipline to grow their business. Building your Franchising location takes focus, energy, and the willingness to follow a proven system.
If you bring these qualities to the table, we’ll provide everything else. With our training and tools, you can become an industry leader even if you’ve never touched a garage door opener before.
Ongoing Support That Grows With You
Our support doesn’t end on opening day. As a valued member of our franchise network, you’ll benefit from ongoing assistance, expert marketing guidance, cutting-edge technology updates, and opportunities to collaborate with peers. You’re never alone, because our team is here to help you grow, adapt, and succeed every step of the way.
So, do you need garage door experience to own a Franchising franchise? Absolutely not. With our extensive training and support, all you need is the ambition to grow a business, a dedication to service, and the willingness to lead.
