History
The idea of Handyman Connection was actual created by two business partners that owned a Property Management business in Cincinnati, OH. They had difficulty finding skilled Craftsmen for all of their properties. They created a system to connect these handymen to the clients based on their need through a system that we use today. Handyman Connection was the first Handyman Concept in the Franchising space and with a re-engineered system that leverages technology heavily, we expect massive growth in the next decade.
Training And Support
The Training at Handyman Connection is some of the most powerful and in-depth Training I have ever seen in the Franchising space. Once a new owner has completed the fees and agreements, they are entered into what we call "Boot Camp". While we are not waking people up for 5 mile hikes at 4 am, we are implementing a heavy dose of webinar Training over a 5 week period. New owners will work with our Quick Start Manager to work on these webinars from home to build up a vast knowledge of the Brand and the technology. After these 5 weeks, owners will come to what we call TSA, or Training Session A. This is 1 week of classroom style Training at our home office in Cincinnati, OH. once this is done, the owner will head back home and launch the business with the assistance of one of our Operations General Managers. We have on-going training by these General Managers and a TSB and TSC that are done after 90 days and after a year. These are Regional Training events the owner does to enhance their skills and become more proficient with the technology. Lastly we have created Flight Groups, which are small groups of owners that share best practices, review each other's P&L's and meet quarterly to help each other grow.
