Kickstart your Holiday Provision... It's a Third of Your Turnover!

Over the last week, franchisees have been booking in strategy calls with Frankie to reenergise and kick start their holiday provision.

With holiday courses amounting to a third of your business income, it’s a must that you dedicate time to deliver “WOW” with every interaction you have with your customers.

Listen to what franchisee Ryan Yearsley has to say...

“Thanks for the Go To Meeting today. I have found this very useful and it’s given me plenty of ideas and strategies to take away to hopefully push my camp side of the business forward.

I’m going to look to implement the following:

  • Partner schools 
  • Refer a friend
  • New schools free places
  • Increase in social media awareness

Thanks again for the call its been a great help.”

Constantly checking your bank account? When will I get paid? Can I pay my staff?

Over 70% of franchisees have indicated that Cash Flow is an issue, tune in every day this week for a different solution on how you can manage your cash better.

Exciting Times Ahead...

Ops & Marketing are looking to re-energise our parent facing marketing literature, this includes what WOW marketing looks like and different ways in which we can inspire parents and children to sign up to YOUR courses.

Obviously, your feedback on this is crucial and we would like to invite you to take part in the consultation process. Please complete this survey by COP 7th December.

Thanks,
Frankie & the team...

Cash Flow Solution - Day 2

Day 2 looks at the importance of invoicing both accurately and on time. Also, speaking to your schools to find out the method of payment.

Both of these are really important to assist with the processing time, during the month of October 21% of the payments received had a query/issue attached to them. When you consider we processed £1.8m worth of payments in October, that’s £388k worth of payments that needed additional time, either chasing the school/council or speaking to the franchisee.

The number of payments for October increased year on year by 25% so the less time we have to spend on queries the more time we can spend on processing.

Cash Flow Solution - Day 3

Day 3’s video focuses on managing your expenditure. Don’t be fooled into complacency by simply increasing sales. Any time you see your expenses growing faster than sales, examine costs carefully to find places to cut or control them.

Try to arrange terms that benefit your business then take full advantage of your creditor payment terms.

Our final solution is coming soon!
