NIC Local is pleased to announce the release of the new episode of it’s podcast series: Local to Leader Episode 6, exploring one of the most common questions asked by people considering a franchise opportunity: Do you need experience in the cleaning industry to become a successful NIC Local franchisee?
In this latest episode, Phil Harrison and David Paulson discuss why previous experience in commercial cleaning is not a requirement for joining NIC Local and why the skills needed to run a successful franchise are often very different from what people might expect.
The conversation explores the qualities that really matter, including leadership, communication, managing people, building customer relationships and having the ambition to develop a successful business.
Phil and Dave also explain how NIC Local’s comprehensive training programme, established systems and ongoing support help new franchisees understand the industry and develop their businesses with confidence.
It’s about building and managing a business, not doing the cleaning.
NIC Local operates a management franchise model, meaning franchise owners focus on recruiting and managing their cleaning teams, developing customer relationships and growing their commercial cleaning businesses. They don’t need to be cleaners themselves or have previous industry experience.
As the latest episode highlights, having the right attitude, commercial mindset and willingness to learn can be far more important than knowing the cleaning industry inside out.
