Are you ready to retire from your first career, but you are definitely not old? Is your pension in need of a top-up? Do you still have loads of "go" in you? Are you worried you won't be able to sit still and do nothing? Not into gardening, yoga, bowls and snoozing? Not ready for your pipe and slippers? Not prepared to be relegated to the armchair?
Good! Then we have a little business opportunity for you.
The Cleaning Biz is always looking for lively people with time on their hands who want to top up their income. And we think this could be an ideal opportunity for the right sort of retired person. After all, 60 isn't even old these days, is it? And remember, if this isnt right for you but you introduce us to someone who goes on to work with us, we pay you a fee of £500 for that introduction.
What is The Cleaning Biz?
We provide domestic cleaners to households who want to outsource the chore of cleaning their own home and keeping on top of the ironing. We find that this is popular throughout the UK, and especially in towns and cities where busy people work long hours.
What's in it for you?
My partner and I have been running this business since 2001 and last year we started to teach others how to do it. It's a turnkey business opportunity. What does that mean for you? It means you can come to a training day in London and a month later you are working in your own part-time business at home. We roll you into our training programme and match you up with a mentor, both of which are designed to ensure your success.
Who is this ideal for?
Anyone who has plenty of free time but doesnt want to be tied to a full-time job, perhaps someone looking after their own home and family with time on their hands, perhaps a self-employed person looking to increase their income, perhaps a new retiree who still has plenty of life in them, much too much time on their hands, and a disappointing pension, or the newly redundant. We have podholders who are successfully funding their ideal lives in the country and even overseas with this.
Anyone who understands that a franchise opportunity is a ready-made business and that you can learn from that too and apply that learning to your other business activities.
Anyone who is prepared to put in a bit of effort, especially in the first six months, knowing that the rewards will come within one to three years. And that's all. It's really a very simple formula.
Who is this probably not ideal for?
Someone with a full-time job. A rampant entrepreneur who really wants to create their own business. Someone who is focally challenged and doing far too many things already, none of which are generating enough income. Someone who is not prepared to learn from those who have done it themselves, over and over again now, 22 times. Someone who is not prepared to put the work in initially and learn to face their fears, learn new stuff, do as they are told/gently guided (!) and just get on with it. Rocket scientists and tyre kickers.
How soon can you start?
We can usually train you within a month or so.
What guarantees your success, apart from our training programme?
An analysis of the success strategies of our existing branches tells us that the following has brought swift rewards - you dont need to operate ALL of these, just choose a few of your favourites:
- Correctly identifying that where you live is a great area in which to operate a branch of our business (we give you pointers on how to do this)
- Partnering with a great local distributor who reliably carries out your deliveries of marketing materials for you or being prepared to do/supervise that bit yourself
- Plenty of free time to answer sales calls when they come in
- Loving it
- Being a proficient practitioner of the Law of Attraction
- Believing in it, knowing it would work and proving yourself right
- Turning up to and committing to the training and mentoring
- Focus
- Hard work (it's always worked before as a success strategy for some, so they have simply applied it here too, although it really isn't necessary but we don't knock it)
So, its exactly like any other business, except that this is one where we know all the wrinkles having done it ourselves and now we work alongside inside many others who have done the same, so we can handhold you through it. And that's SO much easier and simpler for you than starting something from scratch.
Join our community of podholders!
We would love to have you in our family of fledgling business owners, a bunch of whom are now emerging as very proficient businessmen and women, thanks to this opportunity. Let us show you how to run a Great Little Business of your own, from home.
What should you do next to get on board?
Go to the Join Us page on our website and listen to the hour-long recording of Q & A we did with potential licensees last October, four of whom came on board. Download the FAQ and read it - its a concise transcription of the teleclass. And then talk to us but please dont skip the listening and the reading parts first - that means we can get straight to talking turkey since you will already be up to scratch and full of questions of your own.
Read what James, our former Bristol pod owner, has to say about his experience of working with us over the last couple of years
"A very big thank you for helping me to not only find a buyer for the business but also for all your support while we have been developing it. It has been both challenging and liberating and I am delighted that Janet is taking over.
You have been nothing but positive, helpful and above all a great friend when times have been tough – for this I cannot thank you enough. Having been the first pod to be franchised, run remotely, successfully grown and finally sold, if you ever wanted me to come and talk to new pod holders at your meetings I would of course be delighted to do so.
When handing over it surprised me as to how much I have learnt while running the business and it will set me up well for my next venture. Once again a huge thank you for our time in TCB."
What does this opportunity cost?
£6,000 which includes your £2,000 licence fee and £4,000 training package and various other goodies like your first 30,000 marketing postcards free. Each additional licence you choose to buy costs only £2,000 since you already know how to run the business. Several of our podholders own multiple licences as a way of fast-tracking the results they want.
And as you can see, after only a couple of years, you can even sell on this opportunity to someone else (provided you have made a success of it) for many multiples of your initial investment as James has done. As we like to say - sell your business for a lump of cash when the time is right. It's one of the best ways to create wealth. And quick too!
So, what's stopping you from taking on your own pod?
Come on down and talk to us about this opportunity. We are straight talkers; if we don't think The Cleaning Biz is right for you or if we don't think you are right for it, we will simply say so. We want it to work for both parties. We won't waste your time or money. Or ours.
Here's to your success in our franchise opportunity. Come and discover how we can work together - you are in time to make it to our Summer Party on 22nd June in a lovely riverside pub in the country too, if you are really quick on the draw!
