SUPPORT & TRAINING PROVIDED
Training and support program details:

Shine’s initial training program is designed to thoroughly prepare franchise owners for a successful launch and sustained growth. The training spans over seven weeks, providing a step-by-step process that equips you with the knowledge and resources necessary to build a thriving Shine franchise.
During the first part of the training, you’ll focus on setting up the foundational elements of your business. This includes establishing your business entity, developing your business plan, and laying the groundwork for your marketing strategies. You’ll also begin virtual technical training through Shine University, Shine’s comprehensive online learning platform, which covers everything from operations to marketing.
As you progress, you will set up essential technologies, including the customer relationship management (CRM) system and revenue processing tools, and meet with key vendors
to build important relationships. Additionally, you’ll obtain all necessary insurance, start the build-out of your new location, and ensure it’s ready for launch.
The training culminates in a one-week, onsite program at Shine’s home office in Michigan, where you’ll receive hands-on experience and guidance from Shine’s expert team. This
immersive training will give you the practical skills and knowledge needed to run your Shine franchise smoothly.
Immediately after opening, Shine provides robust onboarding support. Your onboarding training coach will schedule a series of weekly calls to guide you through the early stages
of operation. Over the next six weeks, you’ll have 2-3 support calls each week to ensure your location is running efficiently and that you have full access to the tools and resources
Shine offers.
