With the use of Activity Professionals (coaches) now being identified as an effective use of utilising the sport premium funding, it has become increasingly paramount that providers of such services to schools are moderated. This again highlights a fantastic opportunity for our franchisees, or does it?

Our franchise agreement states that we will make one payment in full on the 23rd of each month, for all monies received in the previous month. We have always over performed on this promise, but with recent process improvements we have managed to get the average processing time (fully), of an invoice down to 8 minutes! With several payment runs now taking place every week it means we are smashing this target and franchisees are getting their money quicker.

From September 2014, existing Golden Mile licensees and all new Premier Sport franchisees will have the opportunity to have more GM expertise at their disposal via a ‘Director Investment’ menu.

The menu will enable licensees to select specific areas of which to utilise The Golden Mile expertise of Director Karl Fox, maximising potential opportunities such as stakeholder presentations, GM Monitor training for clusters of schools or even bespoke training for ALL their staff at a local venue to them.

We’ve previously told you about the success franchisee Tim Mason has achieved with his Golden Mile license. We are again delighted to hear from Tim telling us that since launching Premier Performing Arts (PPA) within his territory, he’s been able to gain meetings which in the previous 5 years he’s been unable to. As a result, Tim has generated an additional £25k of PS business.

Only 52% of Activity Professionals have created a BMS log in.

YOUR ACTIVITY PROFESSIONALS ARE WASTING A MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY

Not having access to the BMS means...

Last weekend our Operations Director, Danny Melling drove down his cul–de-sac and noticed a house having its roof ‘jet washed’. His wife commented on how much ‘better’ the house looked.

The day after, Danny received a knock at the door from a man representing the company who carried out the work. He introduced himself and asked if he’s seen the work they had just done and proceeded to offer Danny him the same service.
