If you have ever thought about owning your own business, choosing your own working hours, and are able to provide your customers with the V.I.P. treatment, then a V.I.P. cleaning franchise could be for you, just like it was for Sally Shugg.
While quitting her employment position and starting her own business was a tough decision to make, Sally wanted control over her life and was sick of having to work set hours that didn’t allow her time with her kids. “My husband Neil and I were on a rotating roster at our respective jobs, meaning we had to work late nights and weekends, and were getting sick of it – we never got to see the kids.”
After investigating a few other businesses, Sally joined V.I.P. because the brand was well known, the franchise system had won numerous awards, the sales person was easy to talk to, and explained every concern they had in detail. Sally then went out for a day in the field with an experienced V.I.P. franchisee; this enabled her to experience what her life would be like as a V.I.P. home cleaning franchisee before actually buying the business. “It gave me reassurance that I would make it if I wanted to – all it took was my determination to succeed and training from V.I.P.
“A V.I.P. Home Cleaning franchise is perfect for a young mother who is looking to return to the work force because you get to choose the hours you work, earn a good income, and because you are the boss, you don’t have to worry about getting permission to take time off to attend special events like sports days” Sally said.
Sally’s positive approach, can do attitude and her eagerness to meet her customers needs has seen her double the number of homes she services on a weekly basis, while still working only 30 hours per week. This has enabled her to not only work less hours per week than in their previous career, but also earn more than she was before joining V.I.P.
The business has been so successful that Neil has joined her. Neil had previously worked as a panel beater, and Sally in retail, however, both decided to join V.I.P. because they could be their own boss, meaning they were in charge of their own working hours. Sally comments, “I also love the fact that we don’t pay V.I.P. a per lead fee or commission on jobs. Our franchise fees are fixed each month.”
Neil and Sally now choose to work only the times their children are at school – so that they can spend as much time with them as possible.
